Two cell types

What are prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

100

Has a higher concentration of solutes than the cytoplasm of the cell

Hypertonic solution

100

Powerhouse of the cell.

What is the mitochondria

100

Transport ions and polar molecules through the cell membrane. The pores allow substances to pass through without binding to the protein.

Channel proteins

100

Programmed cell death.

What is apoptosis?

200

All plant cells are: (cell type)

What are eukaryotes

200

Uses transport proteins to move ions and small molecules across the plasma membrane

Facilitated diffusion

200

Function of vacoules. 

What are stores food, enzymes, waste, and water?

200

They support cell recognition and triggering immune responses.

Glycolipids

200

Organelles found in plant cells that capture sunlight and use it for energy.

What are chloroplasts?

300

Requirements for an Electron Microscope

What are dead, thinly sliced, and dyed with heavy metals?

300

Molecules continue to move, but the concentration remains the same during diffusion.

Equilibrium

300

Organelle that eats other dead organelles.

What is a lysosome? 

300

Manages the fluidity of the membrane and stops the phospholipids sitting too closely together.

 Cholesterol

300

Microscope most Casady science classes use.

What is a compound light microscope?

400

Three key principles/rules

What are:

  1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells

  2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and organization in living things

  3. Cells only arise from previously existing cells that pass on genetic material

400

has the same concentration of water and solutes as the cytoplasm of the cell

Isotonic solution

400

Name 2 organelles that ALL cells have.

What are:

Cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, or DNA code?

400

They can bind with certain substances and some act as cell markers for cell-to-cell recognition.

Glycoprotein

400

Two physical cell structures that help cells move.

What are cilia and flagella

500

List two differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

What is answers may vary?

(e.g. no nucleus, membrane bound organelles)

500

These pumps are found in the plasma membrane of animal cells

Na⁺/K⁺ Pumps

500

Differences between smooth ER and rough ER.

What are the smooth ER has lipids attached, and the rough ER has ribosomes attached?

OR

What are the smooth ER produces steroids/hormones, and the rough ER produces protein synthesis?

500

Define the cell characteristics and help cells identify chemical signals.

Carbohydrate chains

500

The cell membrane surrounds external objects to bring them inside.

What is endocytosis?
