| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A compartment in the cell, separated by a membrane, where a specific, specialized function takes place | Organelle |
| The Average size of cells ranges from... | 10 to 100 micrometers |
| Why do cells tend to be small? | They need to be able to take in nutrients and expel waste quickly. |
| What are the two types of cells? | Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic |
| Which cell has a single loop of DNA? | Prokaryotic |
| Do Prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles? | No |
| Which cell usually needs oxygen? | Eukaryotic |
| What are the advantages of having organelles? | They allow for specialization, keeping things organized and efficient in the cell. |
| What are ALWAYS found in bacteria? | Cell(plasma)membrane, Nucleoid, Ribosomes, Cytoplasm |
| What optional feature gives shape and protection to the prokaryotic cell? | Cell Wall |
| This feature allows the prokaryotic cell to move? | Flagella |
| What optional feature for a prokaryotic cell often contains genes that allow for some sort of resistance to something that might kill the bacteria? | Plasmid |
| What is a survival strategy for some prokaryotic cells? | Spores |
| Which Eukaryotic cell has a rectangular shape? | Plant Cells |
| Which Eukaryotic has the presence of a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a central vacuole? | Plant Cells |
| What are the four basic types of molecules needed to carry out their functions? | Carbohydrates, Lipids, proteins, nucleic acids |
| What regulates what goes in and out of eukaryotic cells? | Cell Membrane |
