Cell
This is the end product of mitosis.
Two identical daughter cells
What are cilia and flagella used for?
Movement
What is the jelly-like material that fills much of a cell and holds its structures?
Cytoplasm
What happens when cells divide uncontrollably and form an abnormal mass of cells?
A tumor may form.
What is the name of the programmed cell death that removes damaged or unnecessary cells?
Apoptosis
A cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole. What type of cell is it?
Plant cell
As we get old, our bodies cell parts naturally deteriorate. Meaning more cellular waste is created. What organelle do you expect older folks to have more of as they age?
Lysosomes
A freshwater organism is placed in very salty water. What happens to the cells?
They lose water and shrink.
Radiation disrupts this element of the cells, causing cancer cells to either slow or stop dividing.
DNA
What is the national animal of Scotland?
Unicorn
Name the four structures found in all cells: plant, animal, and prokaryotic.
Cell membrane, Ribosomes, cytoplasm, and genetic material.
What is the function of the cytoskeleton?
Gives shape and support
Name the two main types of cells.
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells.
Why are cell cycle checkpoints important in preventing cancer?
They help stop cells with damaged DNA or other problems from dividing before the problems are addressed.
This is the 5 carbon sugar present in the nucleotides of DNA.
deoxyribose
A scientist discovers a cell with DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane, but no nucleus. Is it prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Explain.
Prokaryotic. Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
A cell has a functioning nucleus, ribosomes, and rough ER, but its Golgi apparatus is damaged. Which cellular process would be most directly affected, and why?
Modifying, packaging, sorting, and secreting proteins because the Golgi apparatus processes materials for transport.
What is the name of the structures that make up the cell membrane and vesicles?
Phospholipids
Most cancers are named after this.
One type of therapy used to treat cancer is this, which convinces the body's immune system to identify cancer cells as "nonself".
Immunotherapy
Why do cells need to maintain a balance between materials entering and leaving them?
To maintain homeostasis and keep the cell functioning properly.
Differentiate rough ER and smooth ER.
Rough ER makes proteins; smooth ER makes lipids
Write the equation for photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide + water → Glucose + oxygen
(sunlight)
What is the difference between a benign tumor and a malignant tumor?
A benign tumor stays localized and does not invade or spread to distant tissues. A malignant tumor is cancerous and can invade nearby tissues and spread.
What food can last for thousands of years without spoiling when properly stored?
Honey
