Exam 2 Flashcards
True or False and why?
An image produced by a light field microscope will have a light background with the object being dark.
True
True or False and why?
A transmission electron microscope (TEM) gives a 3D image of the surface of cells and specimens are prepared by being sliced thinly and coated in amber.
False, it gives an image of the interior of the cell
True or False and why?
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) gives an image of the interior of cells and specimens are prepared by being coated with a heavy metal stain.
False, it gives an image of the exterior of the cell
Cell theory states:
- All organisms consist of one or more cells
- Each new cell arises of one or more pre-existing cell
Cells must be large enough to house _________, proteins, and structures. But must be small enough for an allowable __________ to ___________ ratio for exchanges with its environment.
- DNA
- Surface to volume
Describe the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. How is this important for life’s functions?
consists of two layers of phospholipids, with a hydrophobic, or water-hating, interior and a hydrophilic, or water-loving, exterior
List two proteins that are associated with the plasma membrane and their functions.
peripheral proteins and integral proteins
List some differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
prokaryotic calls are small, one, small circular chromosome, lack a membrane-bond nucleus and organelles
Eukaryotic cells are very larg, haves multiple paried cromosomes and have a membrane-bound nucleus and organells
Is it beneficial for eukaryotic cells to have compartmentalization? Why or why not?
yes, it help to preform different functions
Match the organelles with their functions.
Nucleus A. Maintains cell shape and
organization
Ribosomes B. Temporary storage
Rough ER C. Packages products
Smooth ER D. Breaks down organic material in
cells
Golgi apparatus E. Makes proteins
Lysosomes F. Breaks down free radicals
Peroxisomes G. Complex carbohydrate and lipid
production
Vacuoles H. Studded with ribosomes to make
proteins
Cytoskeleton I. Houses DNA
I- Nucleus- Houses DNA
E- Ribosomes- makes proteins
H- Rough ER- Studded with ribosomes to make proteins.
G- Smooth ER- Complex carbohydrate and lipid production
D- Golgi apparatus- Breaks down organic material in cells
C- Lysosomes- Packages products
F- Peroxisomes- Bracks down free radicals
B- Vacuoles- Temporary storage
A- Cytoskrlrton- Maintains cell shape and organization
Compare mitochondria and chloroplasts.
mitochondria- produces ATP
chloroplasts- produces sugars
Both- `have their own DNA, and ribosomes, reproduce themselves, and have a double membrane.
Describe the function of Microtubules
forms the internal section of the cell
Describe the function of Intermediate filaments
cell shape and ancers the cell in place
Describe the function of Microfilaments
cell movement and stablization
Describe the function of Plasmodesmata
open channels that extend across the primary wall of adding cells
Describe the function of each of Gap junctions
Describe the function of each of Anchoring junctions
True or false: Flagella are longer and move in a whiplike fashion while cilia are shorter and move in a synchronized fashion.
True or false: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion while potential energy is stored energy.
What do the laws of thermodynamics state?
First law-
What do the laws of thermodynamics state?
Second law-
Which statement is true?
Exergonic reactions store energy and endergonic reactions release energy.
Exergonic reactions release energy and endergonic reactions store energy.
True or false: Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to end a reaction.
What is the function of enzymes?
