Cells (parts, functions, processes)

Question 1

Bacteria

Answer 1

The kingdom of life which has no cell membrane or nucleus and is always unicellular

Question 2

Body cell

Answer 2

All of the cells in an organism not involved in reproduction

Question 3

Cell Differentiation

Answer 3

A process where cells chance to perform different roles

Question 4

Cell Division

Answer 4

A process where one cell becomes more than one cell

Question 5

Cell membrane

Answer 5

Surrounds the cell and keeps it together; also decides what material enters and leaves

Question 6

Cell Organelle

Answer 6

Parts of the cell that perform specific functions

Question 7

Cell Wall

Answer 7

The stiff outer layer of a cell that protects the cell and gives it shape

Question 8

Cell

Answer 8

The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms

Question 9

Cellular Respiration

Answer 9

The process where organisms get energy from organic molecules

Question 10

Cilia

Answer 10

A hair-like organelle on the outside of a cell used in movement

Question 11

Dominant

Answer 11

A genetic characteristic that is always expressed by the organism

Question 12

Eukaryote

Answer 12

A type of organism that has a true nucleus in its cell(s)

Question 13

Flagella

Answer 13

An organelle of some prokaryotes that allows for movement and resembles a tail

Question 14

Gametes

Answer 14

The cells that are responsible for sexual reproduction; sperm, eggs

Question 15

Meiosis

Answer 15

The process of cell division which produces four sex cells (gametes) from one cell

Question 16

Mitochondria

Answer 16

An organelle in all eukaryotic cells which is responsible for energy production

Question 17

Mitosis

Answer 17

The process of cell division which produces two body cells from one cell

Question 18

Photosynthesis

Answer 18

The process that happens in plants and some other organisms which takes the sun’s energy and turns it into usable energy; 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light è C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2

Question 19

Chloroplasts

Answer 19

Organelles that conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight, converts it, and stores it in the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water in plant and algal cells

Question 20

Asexual Reproduction

Answer 20

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes

Question 21

Sexual Reproduction

Answer 21

The production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types (sexes). In most higher organisms, one sex (male) produces a small motile gamete which travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by the other (female).

Question 22

Somatic Cell

Answer 22

a cell that does not participate in reproduction
