Cell Parts/Organization/Turgor Pressure

Question 1

What is the function of the nucleus?

Answer 1

The nucleus is the (control center) brain of the cell. DNA is stored in the nucleus.

Question 2

What types of cells have a nucleus?

Answer 2

Eukaryotic cells do and plant and animal cells but not prokaryotic.

Question 3

What is the function of a cell wall?

Answer 3

The cell wall is made of cellulose and gives support and shape to all plant cells. The structure is strong and rigid which allows the cell to be supported as turgor pressure increases.

Question 4

What two parts are found in plant cells but not animal cells?

Answer 4

The cell wall and chloroplasts are all things found in plant cells but not animal cells.

Question 5

Which organelle is found in an animal cell but not a plant cell?

Answer 5

Lysosome is a organelle found in amail cells but not plant cells.

Question 6

What is the function of ribosomes?

Answer 6

The function of ribosomes is to make protien for the cell.

Question 7

What is the basic unit or building block of life?

Answer 7

The cell is the basic building block of life

Question 8

What is the smallest unit of matter?

Answer 8

A atom is the smallest unit of life.

Question 9

List the levels of organization from cells to biosphere

Answer 9

Matter, Cells, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biome, Biosphere

Question 10

What does biotic mean?

Answer 10

Biotic means life

Question 11

What does abiotic mean?

Answer 11

Abiotic means not living

Question 12

List all three parts of the cell theory:

Answer 12

Cells are the bsic unit of life, All cells come from a pre-existing cells, All living things are made up of one or more cells.

Question 13

Which type of cell(s) contain the organelle called a vacuole?

Answer 13

Plant cells are the only cells to contain vacuole

Question 14

What is thigmotropism?

Answer 14

The turning or bending of a plant or other organism in response to a touch stimulus.

Question 15

Define turgor pressure

Answer 15

Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall.

Question 16

What is the function of a vacuole?

Answer 16

The function of vacuole is in plant cells is to store food, water, and waste.

Question 17

What is the function of chloroplast?

Answer 17

The function of chloroplast is it contains the pigment (chlorophyll) and helps it in photosynthesis.

Question 18

Which type of cells contain ribosomes? Plant, Animal, Prokaryotic?

Answer 18

Ribosomes is in all plant, animal, and prokaryotic cells.

Question 19

What part of the cell surrounds the entire cell (like an outer skin) and controls what comes in and out of the cell?

Answer 19

The cell membrae controls what goes in and out of te cell.

Question 20

What is the definition of the Mitochondria?

Answer 20

Mitochondria is the “power house” organelle of cells. It converts food into energy (ATP).

Question 21

What is the Defintion of Cytoplasm?

Answer 21

Cytoplasm is the gel-like fluid that fills the inside of ALL types of cells. It is the fluid that all parts of cells float in.

Question 22

Which type of cell is larger, more complex, and generally rounder in shape? Eukaryotic or prokaryotic

Answer 22

Eukaryotic cell is the larger, more complex, and generally rounder in shape.

Question 23

What is phototropism?

Answer 23

The turning of all or part of a plant (and other organisms) in response to the direction of light.

Question 24

What is geotrophism/gravitrophism?

Answer 24

The turning of all or part of a plant (and other organisms) in response to the sensation or downward pull of gravity.

Question 25

What are organs?

Answer 25

Organs are a combination of two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific function in the body.
