Cell Structure And Cell Cycle

Question 1

What 3 points make up cell theory?

Answer 1

1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells
2. The cell is the basic unit structure of all organisms
3. All cells arise from existing cells

Question 2

In short cell theory declares the cell is the basis of an organisms __________ and ________

Answer 2

Structure and reproduction

Question 3

How do Eukaryotic cells differ from Prokaryotic cells?

Answer 3

Eukaryotic evolved from Prokaryotic, they are bigger, more complexed and have an nucleus

Question 4

Eukaryotic cells name means what?

Answer 4

True nucleus

Question 5

Prokaryotic cell name means what?

Answer 5

Before the nucleus

Question 6

Why are nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids important?

Answer 6

These are necessary for cells to survive

Question 7

What are the basic functions of nucleic acids?

Answer 7

Stored genes or genetic information. One type of acid RNA is used in directing functions within the cell

Question 8

What are the basic functions of protein?

Answer 8

Proteins are structural building blocks and some are enzymes that help regulate chemical reactions. They also store amino acids, protect against disease, and respond to chemical stimuli

Question 9

What are basic functions of Carbohydrates?

Answer 9

These are sugars and starches and macromolecules composed of hydrogen carbon and oxygen. They supply and store energy, serve as building blocks like cellulose in plant walls

Question 10

What are the basic functions of Lipids?

Answer 10

Means fats, stores energy, are insoluble in water

Question 11

What is the role of the Nucleus

Answer 11

This provides a DNA which is a blueprint for making protiens. Each blueprint is contained in chromosomes. The nucleus also contains nucleoli. Nucleus has surrounding membranes called nucleus envelope

Question 12

Which Organelle are involved with protein synthesis? How are they involved?

Answer 12

Ribosomes direct the synthesis of protein and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) a network of connected membranes is a site for the synthesis of proteins and other molecules it is made up of the smooth and rough ER

Question 13

What is the main function of Golgi apparatus?

Answer 13

The Golgi apparatus completes and ships cell products, stores, modifies and packages them

Question 14

Why are both chloroplasts and mitochondria essential for providing energy?

Answer 14

Chloroplast turns solar energy into stored chemical energy. Mitochondria turns sugars into energy in the ATP

Question 15

What is the general purpose of the cytoskeleton?

Answer 15

The cytoskeleton: controlling cell shape and movement

Question 16

What are the functions of the vacuole?

Answer 16

Vacuoles play a variety of roles in cell metabolism and cell shape

Question 17

What are the roles of microtubules?

Answer 17

Microtubules play an important role in cell movement, like postal service they move organelles, molecules and chromosomes from one place to another
Located in cytoskeleton

Question 18

What are the roles of mircofilaments?

Answer 18

They move cell or cell contents to help determine cell shape.
Also found in cytoskeleton

Question 19

Microtubular and microfilaments work like what?

Answer 19

Like a track to help walking molecules or motor proteins get around
