Cell Test

12/15/14

QuestionAnswer
Living cells maintain a _____ by controlling materials that enter and leave. Balance
Without this ability, the cell cannot maintain _______ and will die. Homeostasis
The cell must regulate internal concentrations of water,______, and other nutrients and must eliminate waste products. Glucose
Homeostasis in a cell is maintained by the ________, which allows on certain particles to pass through and keeps the other particles out. Plasma Membrane
This property of a membrane is known as ________. Selective Permeability
It allows different cells to carry on different activities within the same __________ Organism
True or False? The structure and properties of the cell wall allow it to be selective and maintain homeostasis. False
True or False? The plasma membrane is a bilayer of lipid molecules with protein molecules embedded in it. True
True or False? A phospholipid molecule has a nonpolar, water-insoluble head attached to a long polar, soluble tail. False
True or False? The fluid mosaic model describes the plasma membrane as a structure that is liquid and very rigid. False
True or False? Cell organelles, such as the nucleus, vacuoles, mitochondria and chloroplasts are enclosed in membranes. True
True or False? The greater the number of saturated fatty acids a membrane contains, the more fluid it is. False
True or False? In animals, cholesterol strengthens the fluid mosaic and makes the plasma membrane more stable. True
All molecules have constant random movement OR move in an orderly fashion have a constant random movement
Most of the cell and its surrounding environment are in a solid solution OR water solution water solution
The net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is called osmosis OR diffusion diffusion
Diffusion occurs because of random movement of particles OR chemical energy random movement of particles
When a few crystals of potassium permanganate are dropped into a beaker of water, the ions of the dissolving compound will start to diffuse OR form a polar bond diffuse
When materials pass into and out of the cell at equal rates, there is no net change in concentration inside the cell. The cell is in a state of metabolism or dynamic equilibrium dynamic equalibrium
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is a equal concentration of co2 in the air sacs if the lungs and in the capillaries OR greater concentration of oxygen in the air sacs of the lung than in the capillaries greater concentration of oxygen in the air sacs of the lung then in the capillaries
The difference is concentration from one region to another is called dynamic equilibrium OR concentration gradient concentration gradient
Molecules of water OR oxygen need a transport protein and will not diffuse directly across the lipid bilayer water
Hypotonic definition the outside % is bigger than the inside
Hypertonic definition the inside % is bigger than the outside
Isotonic definition the % is equal
If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution what happens to the volume of the cell? This affects what type of pressure? What affect would this have on a plant? The cell will become like a ballon because all the water rushes in. This is a turgor pressure. The plant is allowed to stand upright.
What happens to a plant when it is deprived of water or is placed in a hypertonic solution? What is this called? A hypertonic solution will deflate because there is more water on the inside than the outside so all of the water rushes out.
Experiments show that lipid molecules can pass across the plasma membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration. By which process do the molecules move across the membrane? Does the cell expend energy? This is diffusion which is a form of passive transport and does not require energy.
A biochemical test shows the passive transport of sugar molecules into a muscle cell. What are the proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer that aid in its movement called? Transport protiens
In a nerve cell, sodium ions move across the membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Does the nerve cell expend energy? What type of transport is taking place? This is called active transport and require energy.
An experiment reveals a carrier protein involved in active transport of an amino acid across a membrane into a cell. Explain how the protein moves the molecule up the concentration gradient. The carrier protein in the membrane will bond with the amino acid, and then using energy, changes shape to face the inside of the cell, where is deposits the amino acid.
Name the main scientists Robert Hooke, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, Theodore Schwann, Matthias Schleiden
What did Robert Hooke do? discovered elasticity
What did Anton Van Leeuwenhoek do? invented compound microscope
What did Theodore Schwann do? founder of cell theory
What did Matthias Schleiden do? Co founder of cell theory
What does the light microscope do? magnifies small samples
What does a SEM do? magnifies by scanning
What does a TEM do? magnifies by transparency
Name the 4 organization of cells cell, organ, tissue, organ system, and organism
Cell basic unit of structure in living things
Tissue work together to preform a specific activity
organ made of tissues to preform a specific activity
organ system two or more tissues made to preform a specific activity
organism carries out life processes
