Unit 2: Cell Structure & Function

Question 1

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Cells

Cell

Answer 1

basic structural and functional units of every organism
all cells are bound by plasma membrane & contain cytosol, chromosomes, and ribosomes

Question 2

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Prokaryotes

Cell

Answer 2

before nucleus, DNA is in the nucleoid region
smaller in size

Bacteria and Archaea domains

Question 3

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Eukaryotes

Cell

Answer 3

true nucleus, DNA is in nucleus
membrane bound organelles
linear DNA

Protists, fungi, animals, and plant domains

Question 4

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Organelles

Organelle

Answer 4

cell structures

Question 5

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Endomembrane Organelles

Organelle

Answer 5

nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex, lysosomes, vesicles/vacuoles, and plasma membrane

Question 6

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Energy Organelles

Organelle

Answer 6

mitochondria and choloplast

Question 7

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Compartmentalization

Organelle

Answer 7

allows for different metabolic reactions to occur
increases surface area
prevents interfering reactions

Question 8

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Nucleus

Organelle

Answer 8

contains chromosomes (genetic information) & nucleolus
enclosed by nuclear envelope
has pores

pores - regulate entry/exit of materials

Question 9

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Ribosomes

Organelle

Answer 9

comprised of RNA and protein
function is to synthesize proteins
found in cytosol or bound to endoplasmic reticulum/nuclear envelope

Question 10

Topic 1,2,10, & 11

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Organelle

Answer 10

network of membranous sacs and tubes
synthesizes membranes
compartmentalize cell to keep proteins separate from free ribosomes
Rough ER - contain ribosomes
Smooth ER - symthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbohydrates, & detoxifies cell
