Q

Describe the cell theory

A
  1. All living things are made up of one or more cells and the products of those cells
  2. Cells are the functional units life
  3. All cells come from pre-existing cells

Q

Ribosomes

A

Produces proteins

17
Q

Vacuole

A

Storage place for water, food, waste, and other materials

18
Q

Lysosomes

A

Contain enzymes that break down food, waste and old cells

19
Q

Endplasmic

A

Transports materials throughout the cell

20
Q

Golgi apparatus

A

Modifies and packages proteins for Secretion outside of cell

21
Q

Vesicles

A

Small socks or packets that are released by the Golgi apparatus

22
Q

Centrioles

A

Organelle in animal cells that is involved in cell division

23
Q

Chloroplasts

A

The site of photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll

24
Q

Cell wall

A

Provide structure and support for plant and bacterial cells

25
If the magnification is 4x and the ocular lens is 10x what is the total magnification?
40x
26
What happens when cells reproduce
Some produce asexually when a single parent cell divides into two equal a size offspring or produces a small identical outgrowths on the parent organism
27
What happens when a cell grows
Humans develop from a single fertilized egg into an organism of about 6×10 to the power of 13 cells
28
What happens when cells repair damage
100 different types of cells with different specialized jobs and every second they must be replaced once dead
29
Interphase
DNA is replicated and cell grows
30
Prophase
Chromatin become X shaped, nucleolus and nuclear membrane become to break down and spindle fibers form
31
Metaphase
Duplicated chromosomes of line along the equilateral plate and nucleus and nuclear membrane have completely disappeared
32
Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate from each other as there pulled by spindle fibers
33
Telophase
Chromosomes begin to unwind, nuclear envelope in nucleolus reappear
34
Cytokines
Division of cytoplasm, membrane pinches off
35
List 5 characteristics of living things
Cellular organization, Homeostasis, growth and metabolism, reproduction and heredity
