AB
Cell theory: All living things are composed of _______?cells
Cell theory: Cells come from __________ cells.preexisting
Cell theory: Cells are the basic units of ________ and __________ in all living things.structure and function
The naming of "cells" comes from Hooke or Leeuwenhoek?Hooke- he observed walls of plant cells
Who developed the first simple light microscope? Hooke or Leeuwenhoek?Leeuwenhoek
Which microscope can magnify up to a million times? light or electron microscope?electron microscope
What is the genetic material in the nucleus of a cell?DNA
What is the outer boundary of a cell that regulates the traffic in and out of the cell called?the plasma membrane (also known as the cell membrane)
Where is the cell's genetic information found? the nucleus or cytoplasmnucleus
Which part of a cell holds the DNA (genetic material)?nucleus
What are the differences of animal and plant cells?plants have cell walls/ animals have membranes; only plants contain chloroplasts; plants have large vacuoles
There are two major classes of cells. Which class has no nucleus? prokaryotes or eukaroytes?prokaryotes (hint: think pro means NO and eu means DO
Are human beings prokaryotes or eukaryotes?eukaryotes (Eu DO!!!)
Which type of cell has no nucleus?prokaryotes (pro NO!!!)
The plasma (cell) membrane contains what two main components?proteins and phospholipids
Which part of the phospholipid is hydrophobic? (water fearing) the heads or the tailstails are hydrophobic
Are the heads of the phospholipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?heads are hydrophyilic ( water loving)
The heads of phospholipids are made of __________ and the tails are made of what?phosphorus; fatty acids
Movement of MOLECULES from an area of high concentration to less concentration is what? diffusion or osmosis?diffusion (Does not require energy)
What is the passive transport of WATER across a permeable membrane called? diffusion or osmosis?osmosis
When no energy is expended by the cell during diffusion is that active or passive transport?passive transport
What provides a pathway in the cell membrane for facilitated diffusion (a passive transport)?transport proteins
Passive transport of WATER across a selectively permeable membrane is the definition of osmosis or diffusion?osmosis
A solute is what is being dissolved in a solvent. If a solution has a higher concentration of solute is it hypertonic or hypotonic?hypertonic
If the solute concentration is equal is it hypotonic or isotonic?isotonic
What do we call a solution with a lower concentration of solute? hypertonic or hypotonichypotonic
The membrane that surrounds the NUCLEUS in a eukaryote cell is called what?nuclear envelope
Inside the nucleus is the nucleolus. What is in the nucleolus?parts that will make ribosomes
What do ribosomes do? make protein or create energy?make protein (hint: think RIBS... ribs are made of protein!)
What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum?it's a network that manufactures proteinand transports material through the cell
What are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum? ribosomes or chlorophyll?ribosomes.
What does the rough ER produce?proteins
What does the smooth ER produce?lipids
What does the Golgi apparatus do?packages, modifies and ships molecules in the cell (hint... it's like UPS)
Where are water and nutrients stored in cells? vacuoles or ribosomes?vacuoles
Why are vacuoles so large in plants?To store water and nutrients. (Hint... plants don't move so they have to store water)
What organelle sacs contain digestive enzymes that break down proteins, etc.? lysosomes or ribosomes?lysosomes (Hint... think LYSOL which cleans homes by breaking down grease, etc.)
What is the name of the organelle in plants that absorbs sunlight and converts sunlight into sugar? chloroplasts or chlorophyll?chloroplasts
What organelle changes sugar from plants into usable energy called ATP? ribosomes or mitochondria?mitochondria
What is the jelly-like fluid region between the nucleus and plasma membrane called?? cytoplasm or ectoplasm?cytoplasm
What encloses a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell?cell membrane
What organelle build proteins?ribosomes
What organelle breaks down nutrients and foreign substances?lysosomes
What organelle in the nucleus contains the parts to make ribosomes?nucleolus
What organelle stores food, water, wastes and building materials?vacuoles
What is the powerhouse of the cell and performs cellular respiration?mitochondria
What cell part has the network of microtubules and microfilaments? cytoskeleton or cytoplasmcytoskeleton (usually found in the cytoplasm, cytosketeton give the cell shape, support or organelles, etc.)
The double helix of sugar, phospates and nitrogen bases that contain genetic material is called what? DNA or bi-layerDNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
What is the membrane that surrounds the cell and controls the movement in and out of the cell called?phospholipid bi-layer
What is the protein making organelle?ribosomes
What organelle has ribosomes attached to its outer surfaces?rough ER or rough endoscopic reticulum
Which organelle stores, packages and moves proteins?golgi apparatus
What membrane like sacs contain digestive enzymes?lysosomes
What organelle stores water and materials in plants?vacuoles
The passage of large molecules through the plasma membrane INTO the cell is called what? exocytosis or endocytosis?endocytosis (requires energy!0
The passage of large molecules OUT of the cell is called what? endocytosis or exocytosisexocytosis (requires energy!)
What is it called when molecules moving in and out of the cell are almost equal?equilibrium
What type of transport uses energy to move molecules from low concentration to high concentration? active or passive transport?active transport
Osmosis is a form of active or passive transport?passive transport (it uses no energy)
What are the sacs that moves products in, out and around the cell called? vesicles or UPSvesicles
Plasma (cell) membranes HAVE or DO NOT HAVE selectively permeable membranes?It HAS a selectively permeable membrane
Which organelle SYNTHESIZES ribosomes?nucleolus
Which organelle PRODUCES proteins?ribosomes
What kind of proteins are located in the cell membrane? transport or carrier proteins?transport proteins
What organelle transports proteins? the endoscopic reticulum or the mitochondriaendoscopic reticulum
What microfilament structure has a long, thin, whip-like tail? flagella or cilia?flagella
True or false? Cell walls are in plants only.True
Which organelle makes proteins using instructions that come from the nucleus?ribosomes
What cell structure contains the cell's genetic material?nucleus
What organelle produces the energy for the cell?mitochondria
What are the channels in the plasma membrane made of?proteins
