Important Questions
100
This is a single-celled organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle
What is a prokaryote?
100
This is the powerhouse of the cell and supplies cellular energy by generating ATP
What is the mitochondria?
100
this is responsible for breaking down virtually all kinds of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids
What is the lysosome?
100
A fatty or waxy organic compound whose major biological functions involve energy storage, structural component of cell membrane, and cell signaling
What is a lipid?
100
The difference between these two parts of the cell is that one has ribosomes on it while the other does not
What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
200
This is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes.
What is a eukaryote?
200
This organelle is responsible for handling the macromolecules that are required for proper cell functioning. It processes and packages these macromolecules
What is the Golgi apparatus?
200
This type of endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for synthesizing proteins
What is rough ER?
200
This macromolecule is essential for all known forms of life. Nucleic acids, which include DNA and RNA, are made from monomers known as nucleotides.
What is a nucleic acid?
200
The difference between these two types of cells is that one has membrane-bound organelles while the other does not
What is the difference between a eukaryote and a prokaryote?
300
This eukaryotic cell has chloroplast and a large central vacuole
What is a plant cell?
300
This is the control center of the cell and is in charge of what takes place within the cell
What is the nucleus?
300
This type of ER stores key enzymes in plant and animal cells and is involved in processes including the synthesis of fatty acids and the detoxification of chemicals
What is smooth ER?
300
These macromolecules do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs and are made up of amino acids
What is a protein?
400
Organelles included in this cell are a nucleus, the centrioles, an endoplasmic reticulum, a golgi complex, lysosomes, the mitochondria and ribosomes and it is a eukaryotic cell
What is an animal cell?
400
This organelle separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment
What is the plasma membrane?
400
This serves as the site of biological protein synthesis
What is a ribosome?
400
This macromolecule is made of sugars that provide the body with energy
What is a carbohydrate?
500
This cell has a outer wall made of cellulose and is known to be square shaped
What is a plant cell?
500
This is another word for the plasma membrane
What is the cell membrane?
500
This is a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
What is the chloroplast?
500
Adenine, thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine
What are the bases in DNA?
500
This is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration
What is osmosis?
