Biology Flashcards
Ribosome
Makes protein
Smooth ER
Makes fats, detoxification in liver cells, and stores calcium ions
Peroxisome
Breakdown of fatty acids and other detoxifications
Golgi apparatus
Packaging and transport
Lysosome
Digestion of food, bacteria, and damaged organelles
Rough ER
Makes fats, proteins, and enzymes, involved in transport
Mitochondria
Makes energy from food
Chloroplast
Make sugar energy from sunlight
Cytoskeleton
Keeps structure and shape of the cell.
Cell wall
Only in plant cell, protection and support
Cell membrane
Outer layer of animal cells, determines what can go in and out
Nucleus
Contains the DNA
What are 4 characteristics of living things
Reproduction, energy, growth, adapts
What are 2 similaritys, and 2 differences between between plant and animal cells?
Animal cell- has cell walls and membrane bound organelles, plant cells don’t
Plant cell- has a large central vacuole, also has Chloroplast, animal cells don’t.
They both have a nucleus.
They both have a cytoskeleton.
What are some differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic? What is a example of each of these.
Prokaryotic has a nucleiod, eukaryotic has a nucleus.
The eukaryotic has a lot of organelles, prokaryotic doesn’t. Ex.) eukaryotic cell would be a animal or plant cell. A prokaryotic cell would be like bacteria.
How does the structure or shape of the cell relate to its function? Provide a example in your explanation.
Because in a plant cell it has a chloroplast which absorbs light to make energy.
The function of chloroplast is
Photosynthesis
Which location in the cell is unlikely to contain ribosomes?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
You are told that the cells on a microscope slide are plant, animal, or bacterial. You look at them through a microscope and see cell walls and membrane-bound organelles. You conclude correctly that the cells
Are plant cells
—– cells lack a membrane enclosed nucleus
Prokaryotic
The endosymbiosis hypothesis proves that
Small cell lived inside a larger cell to the benefit of both cells
The idea that all living things are composed of cells and that all cells come from other cells the defines
Cell theory
Your instructor asks you to look into your microscope to see a prokaryotic cell. You will be looking for a cell that
Has a membrane
All organisms belonging to the kingdom plantae
Are photosynthetic and contains cells that are surrounded by cell walls with cellulose
The role of a control in an experiment is to
Provide a basis of comparison to the experimental group.
Which types of microscopes still use in class?
Light microscope
In which cell would you find the most mitochondria
Muscle cell in thigh of long-distance runner
What are some different types of cells and how are they different?
Animal cell, plant cell. The plant cell has a membrane and cell wall, animal cell does not
How do backpacks relate to cells?
Because cells have a lot of stuff that makes the cell what it is. For example the nucleus contains the DNA, without it, the animal cell couldn’t function properly
