100
What is apoptosis?
Programmed cell death
100
What is an organelle that can be found in eukaryotic cells but NOT in prokaryotic cells?
The nucleus!
100
What are the two general types of transport? Identify which uses energy and which does not.
Passive - no energy needed
Active - uses energy
100
True or False - the cell cycle produces 2 unique daughter cells.
FALSE - Because the cell cycle produces 2 IDENTICAL daughter cells.
200
What type of cells divide using the cell cycle to make identical copies?
Somatic or body cells
200
Identify one principle of the cell theory.
- All living things are made of cells.
- Cells are the basic units of structure and function of living things.
- All cells come from existing cells.
200
What happens to the water in a hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solution?
Hypertonic - water leaves the cell
Hypotonic - water enters the cell
Isotonic - water leaves and enters the cell
200
(1) True or false - can some tumors made up of cancer cells break off and spread to other parts of the body?
(2) What would that tumor be called?
(1) True
(2) Malignant
300
Draw the structures and label the following vocabulary words:
- duplicated chromosome
- sister chromatids
- centromere
300
Look at the image! (1) What organelle is it? (2) What does it do?
(1) It's the golgi apparatus!
(2) It takes the protein delivered from the rough ER and processes, sorts, and ships them to other parts of the cell.
300
Look at the image! What type of transport is being pictured and HOW do you know?
Endocytosis (specifically Pinocytosis) - because the cell is engulfing liquid into the vesicle.
300
WHY is interphase the longest phase of the cell cycle?
Because it's the step where ALL the genetic information (DNA) of an organism needs to be replicated, the cell needs to grow, and proteins need to be made.
400
Identify one similarity and one difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Similarity: Genetic material (DNA, RNA), Cytoplasm, Cell membrane, Ribosomes
Difference: Answer will vary
400
Even though there are two main types of cells, ALL cells have:
- Genetic material (DNA, RNA)
- Cytoplasm
- Cell membrane
- Ribosomes
400
What is the difference between simple and facilitated diffusion?
Simple - molecules move across a membrane from high to low [ ] until equilibrium is reached.
Facilitated - A transport protein helps facilitate the diffusion or movement of molecules that normally couldn‘t pass through the cell membrane. They move from high to low [ ]
400
Why is cancer an example of the cell cycle but "harmful" ?
Cancer is an example of the cell cycle but harmful because cancer cells don't know when to stop. They continue to multiply because the signals to stop regulation or apoptosis do not work. So they multiply and spread faster than healthy cells.
