Cell structure
List the primary function of the Cell Membrane
Allow certain nutrients or waste in and out of the cell
Mr. Powell does not like to call the Mitochondria this following name, but it is popularly known as...
POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
What are the two methods of transport for removing and obtaining materials/waste?
Passive and Active
Explain why a nerve cell can be as long as 1 meter.
In order to send signals to the brain faster, the nerve cell needs to be able to travel far distances with as little error as possible.
Who was holding Odysseus captive in the Iliad?
Calypso
Which organelle is responsible for recycling used materials within the cell?
Lysosomes
How does the mitochondria produce ATP in an animal cell?
Oxygen plus electrons
Explain Diffusion.
Movement of particles from high to low concentration
Describe the shape of blood cells and the function why.
Blood cells are shaped like life rafts in order to easily carry oxygen throughout the blood stream.
What is Mr. Clarence's favorite NFL team?
49ers
DAILY DOUBLE
What are the primary functions of the following organelles?
-Nucleus
-Golgi Body
-Ribosomes
-Mitochondria
-Vacuole
-Cell Wall
How does a plant cell create ATP?
Glucose
Describe the effects of diffusion if a grape were placed in the sun.
Grape would shrivel up because concentration of water outside is lower than concentration inside.
Which of the following occupations are closely related to their respective organelle?
-Dictator
-Delivery men
-Recycling men
-Storage container
-Factory supplier
-Manufacturer
-TSA security
-Nucleus
-Golgi Body
-Lysosomes
-Vacuoles
-Ribosomes
-Rough ER (acceptable answer Smooth ER)
-Cell membrane
What is the difference between Endocytosis and Exocytosis?
Endocytosis is the process of things entering into the cell. Exocytosis is the process of things leaving the cell.
Explain the step by step procedure as to how antibodies are created. Use as much detail as possible.
Answer must include:
-Nucleus and mRNA
-Ribosomes and protein
-Smooth and rough ER
-Golgi bodies and vesicles
-Cell membrane
How is glucose created?
Carbon dioxide plus water
Explain the process how Sodium can exit the cell membrane against the concentration gradient.
Sodium pays ATP to the protein chamber to exit the cell membrane.
Why are plants considered to be such great energy producers? Why do they have a cell wall? Why do they have a central vacuole?
Cellular respiration equation. Rigid structure to be tightly packed. Lots of water needed
Which of following words are Abstract Nouns:
-Hungry
-Poverty
-Pretty
-Short
Poverty (it is the only noun)
Explain the behavior of the phospholipid bilayer and how it is selectively permeable.
Answer should include:
-polar heads
-diffusion
-protein chamber
Write out the entire formula to Cellular Respiration.
CO2 + H2O = glucose + O2
Glucose -> ATP
Explain the differences and similarities of facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion
Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels to allow molecules to pass through. Simple diffusion passes through the cell membrane. They both follow the concentration gradient
Why does diffusion happen at a faster rate when a higher temperature is involved?
Heat provides energy which makes molecules move faster.
Explain what is a Control, Independent Variable, Constant, and Dependent Variable.
Control is the default test subject to compare. Independent Variables are the different testing changes made. Constants are the factors that are kept the same for each test. Dependent Variable is something you have no control over during your experiment.
