Final exam review for BIO 011 UC MERCED
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Explain the three principles of cell theory. | 1 All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2 All cells arise from pre-existing cells. 3 Cells contain hereditary information that is passed from cell to cell during cell division. |
| List the 10 levels of biological organization in order. From largest to smallest: | Biosphere, Ecosystem, Community, Population, Organism, Organs, Tissue, Cell, Organelles and Molecules |
| Identify which type of microscopes to use to observe different cells or components of life. | Light microscopes, magnify to 1000-2000x Electron microscope, magnify to 2,000,000x |
| What are the 4 stages proposed for the Origin of Life on Earth? | 1.Organic Molecules 2. Polymers form 3. Enclose polymers 4. Cellular functions arise |
| Prokaryotic cells | Smaller, simpler, and have no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. They reproduce by binary fission and have less genetic variation. |
| Eukaryotic cells | Larger, more complex, and have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They reproduce by mitosis or meiosis and have more genetic variation. |
| What are Animal Cells characterized by? What type? | Eukaryotic cells, which means they have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They have a mitochondrea, ER, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and centrioles. |
| What are Prokaryotic Cells characterized by? | No nucleus -DNA in an unbound region called the nucleoid -No membrane-bound organelles -Cytoplasm bound by the plasma membrane -Ribosomes to produce proteins |
| What are Eukaryotic Cells characterized by? | True nucleus containing most DNA of cell. Has nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, ER, golgi apparatus, lysosomesand peroxisomes. |
| What are Plant Cells characterized by? What type? | Are also eukaryotic cells, but they have some unique features that distinguish them from animal cells. They have chloroplasts, vacuoles, cell wall and plasmodesmata |
| Identify the major eukaryotic cell organelles and list their major functions. | Nucelus, ER, Golgi apparatus, Mitochondria, Chrloroplasts, Vesicles,Cytoskeleto, Cilia and flagella |
