Lysosome

31
Q

What parts of a plant cell are only in a plant cell but not an animal cell?

A

Cellulose cell wall
Chloroplast
Permanent Vacuole

32
Q

What is the theory of endosymbiosis?

A

A prokaryotic cell was engulfed by another larger cell

this resulted in the eukaryotic cell that has organelles that resemble prokaryotes

33
Q

What is the evidence of theory of endosymbiosis happening?

A

Double membrane
Bacterial ribosomal RNA
Own DNA genome
size

34
Q

35
Q

Identify which features of a chloroplast act as evidence for the theory of endosymbiosis

A

Double membrane
Own DNA genome
Bacterial ribosomal RNA (70s)

36
Q

DEF cell wall

A

Provides structure and support to the cell

37
Q

38
Q

Draw and label and animal cell showing the protein production pathway

A

page 45

39
Q

What are proteins also known as?

A

polypeptide

40
Q

What is an organelle?

A

sub cellular structures that carry out a specific role within a cell

41
Q

DEF of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

folding and transport of polypeptide into transport vesicles

42
Q

DEF transport vesicle

A

transports proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus

43
Q

DEF Golgi apparatus

A

FINAL modification and packaging of proteins into the secretory vesicle

44
Q

DEF secretory vesicle

A

allow protein to be secreted out of the cell by exocytosis

45
Q

Describe the function of the mitochondira in the protein production pathway

A

Aerobic Cellular respiration this means that mitochondria provide energy required for protein production

46
Q

Explain what would not occur in a patient with this skin condition?
(page 50)

A

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
Q

State the organelles involved in the synthesis of a protein for export out of a cell, in order

A

Nucleus - 80s ribosomes - RER - transport vesicle - Golgi apparatus - secretory vesicle

48
Q

Define mitosis

A

mitosis is the process by which the nucleus of a somatic cell replicates or divides

49
Q

Give two organelle examples of the theory of endosmosis

A

mitochondrion
chloroplasts

50
Q

What do you do to get the overall magnification?

A

times the lenses together

51
Q

What happens to the field of view as the magnification increases

A

we see a smaller proportion of the field of view due to the increase of magnification

52
Q

Why use thin samples for a wet mount slide?

A

so light can pass through it and we are able to see the sample

53
Q

Why add water for a wet mount slide experiment?

A

prevents the sample drying out

54
Q

What is methylene blue satin used for

A

stain nucleus
stains the chromosomes in the nucleus

55
Q

what is the iodine stain used for

A

plant cells
stains the cell wall and nucleus

56
Q

What stain would we use to see chromosomes in the nucleus

A

methylene blue

57
Q

what stain would we use to see the cell wall of a plant cell

A

iodine stain

58
Q

state 2 differences between a light and electron microscope

A

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
Q

state the 3 steps in making a wet mount slide

A

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.
