  2. The cell is the simplest unit that can carry out all life processes
  3. All cells come from other cells; they do not come from non-living matter

Q

endoplasmic reticulum

A

  • Used for transporting material and proteins
  • In the brain the ER assists with the production of hormones
  • In the muscles the ER is involved with muscle contraction
  • Involved in protein and lipid synthesis

Q

golgi bodies

A
  • Collect and process materials to be removed from the cell
  • Makes and secrete mucus
  • It modifies proteins and lipids (fats) that have been built in the ER and prepares them for export outside of the cell or for transport to other locations in the cell

Q

vacuoles

A
  • A single layer of membrane enclosing fluid in a sac
  • The functions of vacuoles vary greatly
  • These include storage of food or wastes of water, removing waste from cell or maintaining cell pressure

Q

do both animal and plant cells have chloroplasts?

A

only plant cells

23
Q

photosynthesis

A

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (sunlight) → Glucose and Oxygen

CO2 + H2O + Energy –> C6H12O6 + O2

24
Q

ribosomes

A
  • Where proteins are assembled
  • exist in the cytoplasm as well as attached to the outer surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
  • non-membrane bound organelle
25
Q

centrioles

A

Create spindle fibres which are required for cell division

26
Q

do both animal and plant cells have centrioles?

A

only animal cells

27
Q

lysosomes

A
  • The garbage can of the cell - contains digestive enzymes to help break down materials and eliminate waste
  • If the cell is damaged beyond repair, lysosomes can help it to self-destruct in a process called programmed cell death, or apoptosis
    mostly in animal cells
28
Q

plant cell shape and size

A
  • 10-100 micrometers in length
  • Typically rectangular or cubic in shape
29
Q

animal cell shape and size

A
  • 10-30 micrometers in length
  • Typically round or irregular
30
Q

what do all cells need?

A
  • Source of energy
  • Nutrients
  • Water
  • Gases
31
Q

diffusion

A

A transport mechanism for moving chemicals into and out of the cell, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

32
Q

concentration

A

The number of substance (solute) present in a given volume of solution
Concentration (C) = solute/solvent

33
Q

solute

A

what is being dissolved

34
Q

solvent

A

what is dissolving the solute

35
Q

solution

A

result of solute dissolved into solvent

36
Q

osmosis

A

The movement of a fluid (water), across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration

37
Q

why do cells divide

A
  • Reproduction
  • Growth
  • Repair
38
Q

why do cells cycle?

A
  • Do not last forever
  • Must grow
  • Must produce new cells themselves
  • Must repair themselves
39
Q

why do cells die?

A
  • Age
  • Redundancy
  • Unable to function
  • Damaged
40
Q

sexual reproduction

A
  • producing offspring from two parents; the offspring inherits genetic information from each parent
  • Eukaryotic cells contain half the genetic information from two individuals combine to form offspring
41
Q

plasmid

A

small secondary strand of genetics (DNA)

42
Q

meiosis

A

Produces genetically different offspring

43
Q

asexual reproduction

A

Mitosis
- Single celled organisms divided to create two “daughter” cells
- Produces identical offspring

44
Q

what are the phases of the cell cycle?

A
  • Interphase
  • Mitosis
    • Prophase
    • Metaphase
    • Anaphase
    • Telophase
  • Cytokinesis
45
Q

what is the longest phase in the cell cycle?

A

interphase

46
Q

what happens in the interphase?

A

Cells perform their functions and prepare for mitosis

47
Q

what are the 3 subphases of interphase?

A

G1 (gap 1)
S (synthesis)
G2 (gap 2)

48
Q

what happens in G1?

A

Cell undergoes normal activities and grows

49
Q

what happens in S?

A

Replication of DNA (chromatin); cell continues to grow
- DNA must be replicated before cell division
- Each new cell will have an identical copy of DNA
- Semi-conservative = each cell has half of the old/original DNA and half new DNA

50
Q

what happens in G2?

A

Growth preparation for mitosis usually shortest phase

51
Q

what is G0?

A
  • “resting state”
  • cells stay either temporarily (until cell is ready to divide) or permanently
52
Q

what happens in mitosis?

A

Process of cell division that ensures each new cell gets a complete (identical) copy of the genome

53
Q

what are the phases of mitosis?

A

prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
