| What are the three parts of the cell theory? | All living things are made up of cells; Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in an organism; All cells come from preexisting cells |
| Describe prokaryotes | Single celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
| Describe eukaryotes | uni or multicellular organism that has a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles |
| Cell wall | surrounds the cell membrane, supports, and protects the cell (only found in plant cells) |
| Cilia | hair like structures used for movememnt |
| Cytoplasm | Material where organelles are suspended; fills the empty space of the cell |
| Flagella | long, whip-like structure used for movement (sperm - it's how they get to the egg) |
| Golgi body | The packaging and distribution center of the cell; it packages and secretes proteins made by the cell at one location and used at another |
| mitochondria | provides the cell’s energy; changes food energy into chemical energy, it’s bean shaped, “the mighty mitochondria” |

| vesicle | used to transport substances throughout the cell |
| chloroplast | sites of photosynthesis – only in plant cells |
| lysosome | produced by golgi body; contain digestive materials that break down other materials |

| What kind of cell has no cell wall, chloroplast, and smaller vacuole; more fluid in shape (b/c no cell wall) | Animal cell |
| How are mitochondria and chloroplasts similar? | They both contain their own DNA; both are sites where important chemical reactions occur |
| What are the differences between mitochondria and chloroplasts? | mitochondria are where cellular respiration occurs, chloroplast is site of photosynthesis |
| Describe why the inner membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded. | More surface area means that there is more places for cell respiration to occur which means more energy for a cell |
| Where does cell respiration occur in the cell? Photosynthesis? | Cell respiration – mitochondria; photosynthesis – chloroplast |
| Where are proteins made in the cell, where are they packaged, and how do they exit the cell? | Made in the ribosomes and rough ER, packaged at the golgi apparatus, exit by vesicles |
| What are the steps of the cell cycle in order? | G1, S, G2, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis; G1, S, G2 = interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase = mitosis; So – you could also say the steps are interphase, mitosis, then cytokinesis |
| What happens in G1 | the cellular contents (except for chromosomes) double; cell growth |
| What happens in S | DNA is replicated (chromosomes double) |
| What happens in G2 | proofreading stage – the cell checks for errors and the cell continues to grow |
| What happens in prophase | nuclear membrane disappears and chromatin coil and the chromosomes are visible |
| What happens in metaphase | chromosomes line up in the equator (middle) of the cell; spindle fibers attach chromatid to centriole |
| What happens in anaphase | sister chromosomes separate at the centromere; they are being pulled apart because the spindle fibers are shortening |
| What happens in telophase | nuclear membrane forms again, cell technically has two nuclei |
| Explain cytokinesis | The cytoplasm divides between the two daughter cells by cleavage furrow in animals or cell plate in plants |
| 14. Explain the importance of the check points in the cell cycle. What can occur if the cell cycle is not regulated? | Checkpoints in the cell cycle help to make sure that no errors occur, especially during DNA replication. If the cell cycle is not regulated, cancer can occur. |
| What is the end result of mitosis? | Two identical daughter cells |
| Which three macromolecules help to make up the cell membrane? | Lipids, proteins, carbohydrates |
| Which part of the phospholipid is hydrophilic? | Hydrophilic phosphate group |
| Which part of the phospholipid is hydrophobic | hydrophobic fatty acid tails |
| Explain the process of diffusion. | Molecules randomly move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration |
| What is osmosis? | The diffusion of water |
| What is the result of diffusion? When, if ever, does diffusion stop? | The result is dynamic equilibrium (in a cell – an isotonic solution), diffusion stops when the concentration is the same throughout the solution (or inside and outside a cell) – but movement of water continues equally in both directions |
| What is active transport? | requires energy and involves substances moving from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration (against a concentration gradient) |
| What is passive transport? | does not require energy and involves substances moving from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration (down a concentration gradient) |
| Explain the role of cholesterol in the cell membrane. | Keeps the tails of the phospholipids separate |
| What does endocytosis do? | moves substances into the cell |
| What does exocytosis do? | moves unwanted substances out of the cell |
| Explain the role of a peripheral protein in the cell membrane | identifies/recognizes the cell type |
| Explain the role of a transport protein in the cell membrane | moves substances across the cell membrane |
| Explain the role of a receptor protein in the cell membrane | binds to substances to move them in or out of the cell |
| What are the functions of the cell membrane | The cell membrane surrounds, protects, and isolates the cell; it is selectively permeable – some substances are allowed to pass through and others aren’t |
| Describe the net movememnt of water in a hypertonic solution | – the concentration of water is higher inside the cell (because the concentration of solute is lower inside the cell) – most of the water will move from higher concentration inside the cell to lower concentration outside the cell, cell shrivels |
| Describe the net movememnt of water in a hypotonic solution | the concentration of water is lower inside the cell (because the concentration of solute is higher inside the cell) most of the water will move from higher concentration outside the cell to lower concentration inside the cell, cell swells |
| Describe the net movememnt of water in a isotonic solution | the concentration of water is the same inside and outside the cell, so the same amt of water moves into and out of the cell, cell remains same size |
| What molecule do we use for energy in active transport? | ATP |
| Describe a diploid cell | A diploid cell has 2 copies of each chromosome (one from mom, one from dad) |
| Describe a haploid cell | A haploid cell has 1 copy of each chromosome |
| What are the two types of cells? | Gametes-sperm (males) and eggs (females); they are haploid Somatic cells-all cells EXCEPT sperm or eggs; they are diploid |
| What are the two types of chromosomes? | Sex chromosomes-chromosome #23 (either and X or Y) that affect gender Autosomes-all other chromosomes (1-22) that do NOT affect gender |
| What is crossing over and when does it happen? | Exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes that occurs during prophase I of meiosis and causes genetic variation |
| What is the purpose of meiosis? | To create 4 genetically different daughter cells, called gametes |
| What is a karyotype? | A photo of chromosomes from a person |
| What can you learn from analyzing a karyotype | You can learn if a person has a chromosome abnormality or mutation from a karyotype. |
| What are two disorders you can see on a karyotype? | Monosomy and Trisomy |
| How can you tell if a karyotype is of a male or female? | Look at chromosome #23. If it is XX it is female. If it is XY it is male. |
| What is the purpose of a Punnett Square? | To predict the probabilities of traits for the offspring of two parents whose genotypes you know. |
| Compare and contrast genotype and phenotype. | Genotype: Allele combination (example: Bb) Phenotype: Physical appearance of trait (example: Brown hair) |
| Give an example of homozygous dominant | AA |
| Give an example of homozygous recessive | aa |
| Give an example of heterozygous | Aa |
| Law of segregation | During meiosis, the alleles separate from each other, one into one gamete, and one into another |
| Law of independent assortment | allele pairs separate independently during the formation of gametes. This means that traits are transmitted to offspring independently of one another. |
