All About Cells
100
Which of the following are found in both plant and animal cells? Chloroplasts or Mitochondria?
Mitochondria
100
Flagella and ______ (small hair-like projections) allow a cell to be mobile.
cilia
100
The overall movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration by their random movements, tending to reduce the difference in concentration between the two regions
Diffusion (Example - Carbon dioxide moves out of a cell.)
100
During mitosis, the nucleus is divided. What is divided in cytokinesis?
The rest of the cell (the cytoplasm) divides to form two new cells.
100
What type of cells go through photosynthesis?
Plants
200
Besides a cell wall, which other part of a cell is present in plants but not animals?
chloroplasts
200
Besides the cell wall, which other structure provides support and protection for the outside of the cell?
Cell membrane
200
The process that cells use to obtain energy from food.
Cellular respiration
200
When the cell is not going through mitosis, what is happening?
It is in interphase. The cell is growing, going through its normal processes, and the DNA is replicating.
200
Complete the order of this statement: DNA creates _________ which creates _____________
DNA creates RNA which creates proteins.
300
Cell membranes and genetic materials are found in....plant cells? animal cells? or both?
both
300
Which type of a cell is the nucleoid found in?
Prokaryote
300
the process where a selectively permeable membrane allows the movement of water through it
Osmosis
300
During which phase of mitosis does the nuclear membranes form around the two sets of sister chromosomes, forming two new nuclei.
Telophase
300
If a scientist places a cell in a solution of salt water and the cell shrivels (shrinks), what has happened to the cell?
Water has moved OUT of the cell. (through the process of osmosis)
400
Refer to Figure 1 on the whiteboard. Is the cell a prokaryote or a eukaryote?
Prokaryote
400
Refer to Figure 1 on the whiteboard. What structures are labeled by the number 5?
Ribosomes
400
This is the molecule, unique to each individual, carrying the genetic information to be found in every cell.
DNA
400
List two purposes of cell division.
Growth, repair, or replacement
400
Refer to Figure 3 - The circles represent oxygen. Which way will the oxygen travel (into the cell or out of the cell)?
Out of the cell, due to diffusion.
500
Are cells with organelles multicellular or single-celled?
Multicellular
500
Which organelles assemble proteins?
Ribosomes
500
A type of cell division in which the resulting cells have half the chromosome number of the parent.
Meiosis
500
During which phase of mitosis does the cell membrane disappear, chromosomes become visible, and the spindle fibers form?
Prophase
500
Refer to Figure 2: Which enzyme works best in an acidic environment?
Pepsin
