Pili, capsule, cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleiod
Choose a function of pili found on the surface of bacteria cells,
attachment to a surface or another bacterium
Where in the cell is a bacterium’s genetic material found?,
Nucleoid region
Just like prokaryotic cells, a eukaryotic cell has a cell (plasma) membrane, cytoplasm, and DNA. What distinguishes a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic cell?,
membrane-bound nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and larger size
what 4 kingdoms are in domain eukarya,
Plantae, animalia, fungi, and protista
What kind of cell would have many ribosomes? A muscle or an ovary,
Muscle
What does the fact the DNA is surrounded by a double phospholipid bilayer tell you about the role/importance of DNA in the cell?,
That the movement of substances into the nucleus is highly regulated
How do products from the Golgi apparatus get to their destinations within the cell, or secreted from the cell?,
Vesicle
The amount of ER varies from cell to cell. If a cell had a large amount of rough ER, what products would you expect it to make in abundance?,
Protein based products
What is the purpose of the membrane that surrounds the lysosome?,
keeps the digestive enzymes inside the lysosome to protect the cell
Would you expect the inside of a lysosome to be acidic or basic?,
acidic
What is the product of the breakdown fo H2O2 by catalase,
Water and oxygen
What is the common name for H2O2,
Hydrogen peroxide
Do only animal cells contain mitochondria?,
no
The mitochondrion is often called the “powerhouse of the cell” because it produces ATP. Explain why the cristae are so highly folded, and how it contributes to making the organelle the “powerhouse.”,
To increase surface area to allow for ATP production
T/FOnly plant cells contain chloroplasts.
TRUE
Why is it important for substances to be moved about inside of the cell by the cytoskeleton, instead of just allowing the substances to float to their destinations? (3),
It is important that substances reach their final destinations.
The cytoskeleton allows for substances to move in a direct and organized manner.
The cytoskeleton ensures that substances reach the proper organelle.
Match:,a cell with a lot of lysosomes,
b. a cell with a lot of mitochondria
c. a cell with a lot of rough ER
d. a cell with a lot of smooth ER
- pancreatic cell that secretes digestive enzymes
- ovarian cell that produces steroid hormones
- muscle cell in the leg of a marathon runner
- white blood cell that engulfs bacteria
1=c
2=d3=b
4=a
what does the Golgi apparatus do
the sorting of lipids and proteins for various cellular functions

FALSE (pilia)
T/F
There are two “faces” or sides of the Golgi apparatus. One side receives vesicles from the ER, and the other side sends vesicles to other parts of the cell.,
TRUE
