Benchmark #2 Flashcards
The outer layer of the nucleus. Covered in pores.
The nuclear envelope (or membrane)
This is the control center of the cell
The nucleus
Small openings in the nuclear membrane that allow materials to pass through
Nuclear pores
Structure without the nucleus that makes ribosomes
Nucleolus
Organelle where proteins are assembled.
Ribosome
Small vesicle that contains digestive enzymes to break down wastes
Lysosome
Vesicle that contains enzymes like catalase.
Peroxisomes
Organelle that contains the pigment chlorophyll.
Chloroplasts
A cell containing 10% salt is out in a solution of 60% salt. Is the solution hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic
Hypertonic
An animal is placed in a solution that causes the cell to swell. Is the solution hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic?
Hypotonic
A plant cell is placed In a hypotonic solution. Will it swell and burst, swell and NOT burst, or shrivel up?
It will swell but not burst due to the cell wall.
An animal cell is placed In a solution. After some time, the cell swells and bursts. Is the solution hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic
Hypotonic
An animal cell is placed in a solution. After some time it shrivels up. Is the solution hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic?
Hypertonic
Does water still cross the membrane when the solution and the cell are at equilibrium?
Yes. Water will move in both directions at the same rate.
A plant cell is placed in a solution and the cell shrivels up. Is the solution hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic?
Hypertonic
This type of transport moves materials with or down the concentration gradient?
Passive transport
This type of transport moves materials against, or up the concentration gradient.
Active transport
Which type if microscope must be used in order to look at living cells?
Compound light microscopes
Which typer of microscopes can only view non living objects.
Electron microscopes
This type of microscope allows for 3-D images.
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
This structure is in the nucleus and creates ribosomes.
Nucleolus
Proteins are created by this organelle either on the RER or free-floating in the cytoplasm.
Ribosomes
