in the cytosol

25
DEF mitochondria
Site of aerobic cellular respiration
26
Aerobiv cellular respiration worded equation
Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
27
DEF lysosome
contains digestive enzymes for the destruction of unwanted cellular material
28
Draw and label a plant cell
page 26
29
DEF of chloroplast Where are they found?
Site of photosynthesis Only in plant cells
30
What parts of an animal cell are only in an animal cell but not in a plant cell?
Lysosome
31
What parts of a plant cell are only in a plant cell but not an animal cell?
Cellulose cell wall Chloroplast Permanent Vacuole
32
What is the theory of endosymbiosis?
A prokaryotic cell was engulfed by another larger cell this resulted in the eukaryotic cell that has organelles that resemble prokaryotes
33
What is the evidence of theory of endosymbiosis happening?
Double membrane Bacterial ribosomal RNA Own DNA genome size
34
Draw the endosymbiosis diagram
page 29
35
Identify which features of a chloroplast act as evidence for the theory of endosymbiosis
Double membrane Own DNA genome Bacterial ribosomal RNA (70s)
36
DEF cell wall
Provides structure and support to the cell
37
DEF permanent vacuole
Storage of cell sap
38
Draw and label and animal cell showing the protein production pathway
page 45
39
What are proteins also known as?
polypeptide
40
What is an organelle?
sub cellular structures that carry out a specific role within a cell
41
DEF of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
folding and transport of polypeptide into transport vesicles
42
DEF transport vesicle
transports proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus
43
DEF Golgi apparatus
FINAL modification and packaging of proteins into the secretory vesicle
44
DEF secretory vesicle
allow protein to be secreted out of the cell by exocytosis
45
Describe the function of the mitochondira in the protein production pathway
Aerobic Cellular respiration this means that mitochondria provide energy required for protein production
46
Explain what would not occur in a patient with this skin condition? (page 50)
BECAUSE there would be no final modification and packaging of the pigment into the secretory vesicles, THEN the pigment protein would not be secreted out of the cell. Therefore leading to the hypo-pigmented areas
47
State the organelles involved in the synthesis of a protein for export out of a cell, in order
Nucleus - 80s ribosomes - RER - transport vesicle - Golgi apparatus - secretory vesicle
48
Define mitosis
mitosis is the process by which the nucleus of a somatic cell replicates or divides
49
Give two organelle examples of the theory of endosmosis
mitochondrion chloroplasts
50
What do you do to get the overall magnification?
times the lenses together
51
What happens to the field of view as the magnification increases
we see a smaller proportion of the field of view due to the increase of magnification
52
Why use thin samples for a wet mount slide?
so light can pass through it and we are able to see the sample
53
Why add water for a wet mount slide experiment?
prevents the sample drying out
54
What is methylene blue satin used for
stain nucleus stains the chromosomes in the nucleus
55
what is the iodine stain used for
plant cells stains the cell wall and nucleus
56
What stain would we use to see chromosomes in the nucleus
methylene blue
57
what stain would we use to see the cell wall of a plant cell
iodine stain
58
state 2 differences between a light and electron microscope
A light microscope has low resolving power whereas an electron microscope has a high resolving power making it have a higher magnification Light microscope the specimenq has to be stained whereas in a electron microscope the specimen is coated by heavy metals in order to reflect electrons
59
state the 3 steps in making a wet mount slide
Place a drop of water to keep the cells alive for longer. Place a thin piece of the sample of a microscope slide to allow light to go through it. Place a drop of stain to see organelles or chromsomes. Use a paper towel to draw this through so there is no excess. Put a coverslip ontop of this.
