Cells

Knowledge

100

Name the cell structure that provides support and protection for the cell.

Cell Wall

200

List the cell organelles that are responsible for protein production.

The ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum and the nucleus.

comprehension

100

Summarize the events that occur throughout metaphase during cell division.

The chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell and the spindle fibers are formed between them and the centrioles.

200

Give an example of how centrioles aid the cell in mitosis.

The centrioles attach to the spindle fibers and pull the chromosomes apart.

Application

100

Map the steps of mitosis in the correct order.

The correct order of the steps of mitosis are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

200

Choose which phase of mitosis that the chromosomes are pulled apart to the opposite poles of the cell.

This is Anaphase.

Analysis

100

Compare plant and animal cells and how then obtain energy. Also list the organelles used by each one.

Animal cells use mitochondria to break down food into energy and plant cells use chloroplasts that undergo photosynthesis to produce energy from sunlight.

200

Analyze the rough endoplasmic reticulum. What does it have that separates it form the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not.

Evaluation

100

Compare plant and animal cells and list the the three organelles that differ between the two.

Animal cells have several, small vacuoles, soft membranes and mitochondria, while plant cells have one large vacuole, rigid cell walls and chloroplasts.

200

Summarize the differences between mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis starts as a diploid cell and creates two identical diploid cells. Meiosis starts as a diploid cell and creates two diploid cells that later undergo cell division to produce to haploid cells.
