Cell Structure and Organization Test (SWYK)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chloroplast | Uses photosynthesis to change thermal energy (sunlight) to chemical energy (glucose) |
| Mitochondria | Uses cellular respiration to transform chemical energy (glucose) into energy the plant can actually use (ATP) to do plant things-grow, make seeds, etc. |
| Cell Membrane | Controls the materials that enter and leave the cell |
| Nucleus | Controls the functioning of the cell; contains most of the cell's genetic material (DNA) |
| Vacuole | Store food, water, and waste products |
| Cell wall | If your cell is surrounded by this organelle, then it's definitely a plant cell |
| Organelles that HAVE chloroplasts | Plant Leaves |
| Cell Theory 1 | All living things are made up of one or more cells |
| Cell Theory 2 | Cells are the basic unit of structure in an organism |
| Cell Theory 3 | Cells reproduce other cells (They ONLY come from the reproduction of existing cells) |
| (T or F) All organisms carry out photosynthesis | False |
| (T or F) All organisms are consumers | False |
| (T or F) One-cell organisms like amoebas are alive | True |
| (T or F) Multicellular organisms are more complex because their cells can specialize in certain functions | True |
| (T or F) Unicellular organisms reproduce more quickly than multicellular organisms because their life processes occur over a shorter period of time | True |
| Why does a nerve cell have so many dendrites? | They touch each other to make sure the message gets sent to the brain (So it can get the message from the surface) |
| Why is a human blood cell small, round, and prokaryotic? | So they can bend and fit through tiny capillaries through out the body |
| Why do heart muscle cells have so many nuclei and mitochondria? | Because it needs the energy from the mitochondria to pump blood, so it can circulate through the blood vessels |
| Why do leaf cells have so many chloroplasts? | So it can use it to perform photosynthesis (chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis) |
| Cell | The smallest, most basic, unit of living things |
| Tissue | A group of similar cells that work together to do the same job |
| Organ | A structure that is made up of different types of tissues that work together to do a job |
| Organ Sytem | A group of organs that work together to carry out a life process |
| Organism | Organ systems that work together to keep a living thing alive |
| From the hand out of the elodea leaf, which level of organization is it? | Organ |
| Organelles make up cells; cells make up tissues; tissues make an organ; organs form an organ system, and organ systems work together in order to form an organism | Life at its basic |
