Q

What are 2 similaritys, and 2 differences between between plant and animal cells?

A

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.

Q

What are some differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic? What is a example of each of these.

A

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.

16
Q

How does the structure or shape of the cell relate to its function? Provide a example in your explanation.

A

Because in a plant cell it has a chloroplast which absorbs light to make energy.

17
Q

The function of chloroplast is

A

Photosynthesis

18
Q

Which location in the cell is unlikely to contain ribosomes?

A

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

19
Q

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

A

Are plant cells

20
Q

—– cells lack a membrane enclosed nucleus

A

Prokaryotic

21
Q

The endosymbiosis hypothesis proves that

A

Small cell lived inside a larger cell to the benefit of both cells

22
Q

The idea that all living things are composed of cells and that all cells come from other cells the defines

A

Cell theory

23
Q

Your instructor asks you to look into your microscope to see a prokaryotic cell. You will be looking for a cell that

A

Has a membrane

24
Q

All organisms belonging to the kingdom plantae

A

Are photosynthetic and contains cells that are surrounded by cell walls with cellulose

25
Q

The role of a control in an experiment is to

A

Provide a basis of comparison to the experimental group.

26
Q

Which types of microscopes still use in class?

A

Light microscope

27
Q

In which cell would you find the most mitochondria

A

Muscle cell in thigh of long-distance runner

28
Q

What are some different types of cells and how are they different?

A

Animal cell, plant cell. The plant cell has a membrane and cell wall, animal cell does not

29
Q

How do backpacks relate to cells?

A

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
