6. A Tour Of Cells

Question 1

there are prokaryotic cells and eukarotic cells. what do the cells both have in common? name 5 points

Answer 1

1. al have a plasma membrane
2. contain cytosol (jelly like substance)
3. contain chromosomes
4. contain DNA
5. have ribosomes

Question 2

there are prokaryotic and eukarotic cells. what is different between them? name four points

Answer 2

1. only eukaryotic cells have a nucleus
2. prokaryotic cells are unicelluar
3. only eukaryote cells are membrane bound
4. eukaryotes contain organelles (think the endoplamic reticulum, golgi aparatus, microtubules)

Question 3

define what a nucloid is and is it in an eukaryote or prokaryote cell?

Answer 3

nucleoid is not an enclosed membrane, therefore it is in a prokaryote cell

Question 4

what is an organelle and are they in prokaryotes or eukaryotes?

Answer 4

organelles are internal membrane systems that divide the cell into compartments (think of a house with many rooms with different funcitons). Its in a eukaryote cell

Question 5

what is mitochondria?

Answer 5

the site of celluar respiration (oxygen). power generates - use ATP

Question 6

what are chloroplasts? what type of ogansisms are they found in?

Answer 6

they take energy from light and convert it to sugars by photosynthesis. found in eukaroytic plants

Question 7

what are the similarites in mitochondria and chlorplasts in eukaryotes? name two

hint something to do with DNA

Answer 7

1. they both have DNA found in the nucleus
2. both of their organelles use their DNA to make proteins and enzymes for function

Question 8

what are the differences between mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotic cells? name two

hint: its the way they source their energy

Answer 8

1. mitochondria reate ATP from GLUCOSE from CELLUAR RESPIRATION
2. chrloplasts produce ATP from LIGHT!!!! (PHOTOSYNTHESIS)

Question 9

what do peroxisomes do?

hint: something to do with oxygen

Answer 9

they detoxify oxygen!!
