52
Q
  1. This cavity contains the tiny ear bones, name them.
A
  1. Middle ear: malleus, incus, stapes
53
Q
  1. Explain why active metabolizing cells need to be relatively small.
A
  1. Cells need to remain relatively small because as a cell expands the amount of surface area relative to the volume of the cell decreases. The smaller cell is more active because relative to its volume its surface area is larger than a bigger cell. With a larger surface area (relative to its volume) this allows the metabolic processes to occur faster. Metabolic processes such as transportation of wastes across the membrane and diffusion can all occur at a faster rate.
54
Q
  1. Explain the three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
A
  1. 1) Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller than eukaryotic cells. Most are between 1-10 μm (micrometers) in size (about 1/30,000 of an inch); therefore, they are just visible with the light microscope. 2) The DNA of a prokaryotic cell is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane (prokaryotic means “before the nucleus”). 3) Prokaryotic cells do not contain many of the internal membrane-bounded organelles of eukaryotic cells.
55
Q
  1. Describe aerobic respiration and the purpose of ATP production.
A

57.Eukaryotic cells require mitochondria to convert the chemical energy found in food (glucose) into ATP. This process is called aerobic respiration. During cellular respiration oxygen is required to break down food. Carbon dioxide, water and ATP are produced.

56
Q
  1. Explain what happens in Tay-Sachs disease.
A
  1. One of the normally present digestive enzymes inside lysosomes is lacking. Thus, a toxic lipid in the brain cells cannot be broken down. The resulting buildup of lipids in these cells can cause intellectual disability and death.
57
Q

a. nucleus

A

Nucleus - contains DNA and serves as the control center of the cell.

58
Q

b. ribosomes

A

Ribosomes - tiny manufacturing plants that assemble proteins.

59
Q

c. smooth ER

A

Smooth ER -synthesizes lipids.

60
Q

d. rough ER

A

Rough ER - modifies and transports proteins derived from the ribosomes that are found along its surface.

61
Q

e. RNA

A

RNA - take the coded amino acid sequence from nucleus to ribosome for protein synthesis.

62
Q

f. endospore

A

Endospore -dormant, extremely durable cell produced by the bacteria clostridium botulinum which can lead to botulism.

63
Q

g. Golgi complex

A

Golgi complex - responsible for receiving lipids and proteins synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum, altering their structures and shipping them to other parts of the cell.

64
Q

h. lysosome

A

Lysosome - possess digestive enzymes which break down biomacromolecules.

65
Q

i. mitochondria

A

Mitochondria - convert the chemical energy found in food into ATP.

66
Q

j. plasma membrane

A

Plasma membrane - contains specialized “pumps” and “gates” that regulate the passage of materials into and out of the cell. In prokaryotic cells the membrane folds inward to provide a place for reactions to take place.

67
Q

k. microtubules and microfilaments

A

Microtubules are hollow and anchored to the MTOC; microfilaments are solid and create movement.

68
Q

l. extracellular matrix

A

extracellular matrix contains collagen fibers, found in human/animal cells.

69
Q

a. eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells

A

a. eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells - recognize the three main differences between them (size, organelles and membranes).

70
Q

b. membranes

A

b. membranes - know their detailed structure (including hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions of proteins, phospholipids and cholesterol). Understand the importance of membranes in being able to separate or confine molecules. Know what is “fluid” about a membrane.

71
Q

c. diffusion

A

c. diffusion - know the difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion and know which molecules use each type and why.

72
Q

d. active transport

A

d. active transport - know how this process relates to the concentration gradient and that it requires additional energy.

73
Q

e. endocytosis

A

e. endocytosis – understand the three types of endocytosis (also in the figure). Know how to describe which types of molecules use this method.

74
Q

f. proteins

A

f. proteins - know how proteins are used in diffusion, active transport, and the extracellular matrix.

75
Q

g. isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic

A

g. isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic-know the difference in these terms and how a cell would react in different solutions (see examples in text). Remember that these terms refer to the amount of solute in an aqueous solution. Water moves into an area of high solute concentration.

76
Q

h. cholesterol

A

h. cholesterol- describe how it helps to stabilize the cell membrane.
