What are the four structures that all cells have

What are the 

Cell membrane , Genetic material, Cytoplasm, and Ribosomes

100

Identify the organelle pictured to the right and include 3 things it does for the cell.

Golgi apparatus 

1 receives vesicles with proteins from the ER

2. Processes and sorts proteins

3. Ships them where needed

100

Categorize the following types of organisms as eukaryotes or prokaryotes.

Plants  - Fungi - Bacteria - Protist - Animals  

Eukaryotes = Plants, Fungi, animals, protists

Prokaryotes = bacteria

100

Match the macromolecule on the left to its main role in the cell membrane on the right.

Carbs             Main component of bilayer

lipids             Transport

Proteins         Structural support

Carbs -> structural support

Lipids - > main component of bilayer

Proteins -> Transport

100

Which organelle is responsible for transporting proteins the cell makes to be processed, shipped out, and/or used?

Vesicles

200

Distinguish between cilia and flagella 

Cilia are shorter and more numerous and move fluids across cell surface.


Flagella are longer, only 1-3 per cell, and move the entire cell

200

White blood cells protect the human body agains invaders and infectious diseases. What organelle(s) do you think play a critical role in them doing their job?

Lysosomes for breaking down invading bacteria

200

Identify which macromolecule is considered the " information molecule " and where it is stored in a eukaryotic cell vs. a prokaryotic cell

Information molecule = nucleic acids (DNA and RNA ) which hold the instructions for making proteins.

It is stored in the nucleus in a eukaryote and floats in the cytoplasm in a prokaryote.

200

Sperm cells must travel a long distance through the male and female reproductive systems in order to reach an egg to fertilize.  Which organelle(s) would most help a sperm cell achieve this long journey?

Flagella since it moves the entire cell

200

List the 3 organelles unique to plant cells and explain why each one is important for plant cells but animal cells wouldn't need them. 

Central vacuole - allows for tons of storage of water and nutrients which is especially important because plants make their own food.  

Chloroplasts - converts light energy into chemical energy in glucose, which plants need to make their own food.

Cell wall - extra structure that keeps plants upright, whereas animals have skeletons

300

Muscle Cells require a lot of energy to contract and produce movement in the body.  What organelle(s) do you think they have more of than other cells?

Mitochondria so they have access to enough energy for movement.  

300

List two differences between the smooth and rough ER

Rough ER has ribosomes, smooth ER does not. 

Rough ER hugs the nucleus, smooth ER does not.

Rough ER makes proteins, SMooth ER makes lipids

300

Define " organelle" in your own words

specialized structures within the cell that work together for one main purpose -> to make proteins

300

Describe the purpose of ribosomes and why they are so essential for the cell.

Ribosomes make proteins, and proteins run just about everything!

300

Make a claim for the type of cell pictured to the left, and defend your claim with evidence and reasoning.

The cell pictured is a eukaryotic animal cell because it has a nucleus (defining characteristic of eukaryotes) and does NOT have a cell wall, central vacuole, or chloroplasts (organelles specific to plants). 

400

Draw the nucleus and Label the following parts: the nuclear membrane, nucleolus, and chromatin.

400

Explain why cellular respiration is a necessary process for living things. Include what organelle it occurs in.

Cellular respiration is critical because the cell can't use chemical energy directly from food - it has to be broken down during cellular respiration into a usable form called ATP.  This occurs in the mitochondria.

400

fat cells specialize in storing energy. to do this, one organelle takes up nearly 90% of the cell, with all other organelles pushed to the sides.  What organelle do you think it is?

A large vacuole for storage.  

not the Central vacuole because this is't a plant cell

400

______________ organisms are made of one single cell, whereas ___ organisms are made of many cells that are organized into tissues, organs, and organ systems

Unicellular -- organisms are made of one single cell, whereas multicellular organisms are made of many cells that are organized into tissues, organs, and organ systems.

400

Consider a disease that results in a lack of energy.  Which organelle(s) do you predict would most likely be impacted? which macromolecule(s) do you think the person would struggle to use?

The mitochondria would be impacted greatly by an energy deficiency.  The person would most likely struggle to adequately use carbohydrates or lipids, which provide energy to the cell.
