cells

Question 1

what are mitochondria

Answer 1

This is where respiration occurs

Question 2

what are ribosomes

Answer 2

This is where protein is created

Question 3

what is a nucleus

Answer 3

this is where genetic information is stored

Question 4

what is cytoplasm

Answer 4

where chemical reactions take place

Question 5

what is a cell membrane

Answer 5

controls what goes in and out of the cell

Question 6

what is a cell wall

Answer 6

Cell wall. A cell wall is a structural layer that surrounds some types of cells, situated outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides cells with both structural support and protection

Question 7

what are chloroplasts

Answer 7

where photosynthesis occurs

Question 8

what is a vacuole

Answer 8

Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. … Those tiny water bags help to support the plant.

Question 9

what are chromosones

Answer 9

In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Question 10

what are plasmids

Answer 10

A plasmid is a small DNA molecule within a cell that is physically separated from a chromosomal DNA and can replicate independently. They are most commonly found in bacteria as small circular, double-stranded DNA molecules; however, plasmids are sometimes present in archaea and eukaryotic organisms.

Question 11

what is differentiation

Answer 11

cellular differentiation is the process where a cell changes from one cell type to another. Most commonly this is a less specialized type becoming a more specialized type, such as during cell growth.

Question 12

high concentration to low concentration

Answer 12

diffusion

Question 13

It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes and occurs in some single-celled eukaryotes. After replicating its genetic material, the cell divides into two nearly equal sized daughter cells.

Answer 13

Binary fission

Question 14

The vascular tissue in plants which conducts sugars and other metabolic products downwards from the leaves.

Answer 14

phloem

Question 15

one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, phloem being the other. The basic function is to transport water from roots to shoot and leaves, but it also transports some nutrients.

Answer 15

xylem

Question 16

what is a daughter cell

Answer 16

a cell formed by the division or budding of another

Question 17

parent cell

Answer 17

A cell that is the source of other cells, as a cell that divides to produce two or more daughter cells, or a stem cell

Question 18

what is cloning

Answer 18

cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually.

Question 19

white blood cell function

Answer 19

White blood cells, also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.

Question 20

what is hemoglobin

Answer 20

Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen.

Question 21

what is red blood cells function

Answer 21

Red blood cells carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to the lungs for you to exhale. Red blood cells are made inside your bones, in the bone marrow. They typically live for about 120 days, and then they die.

Question 22

Osmosis

Answer 22

Osmosis is the special case of diffusion involving water molecules. Water molecules move from areas of high water concentration to areas of low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane.

Question 23

stem cells

Answer 23

stem cell. An unspecialized cell that gives rise to a specific specialized cell, such as a blood cell. An unspecialized cell found in fetuses, embryos, and some adult body tissues that has the potential to develop into specialized cells or divide into other stem cells.

Question 24

example of diffusion

Answer 24

Oxygen in the lungs diffuses from the alveolar air space into the blood circulating around the lungs. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood circulating around the lungs into the alveolar air space.

Question 25

active transpport

Answer 25

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration it requires energy.

Question 26

what are stem cells useful for?

Answer 26

Stem cells represent an exciting area in medicine because of their potential to regenerate and repair damaged tissue. Some current therapies, such as bone marrow transplantation, already make use of stem cells and their potential for regeneration of damaged tissues.
