Cells

Review for the Cells Test

QuestionAnswer
What are the four basic needs of living things? food, water, air, shelter
What are the 6 characteristics of living things? must have cells, must use energy, must be able to reproduce, must respond to stimuli/adapt, must move, and must grow and develop
What are the three parts of the cell theory? 1. cells are the basic unit of life, 2. all living things are made up of one or more cells, 3. Cells come from other living cells
What is the MAIN difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells? prokaryotic cells have no nucleus and eukaryotic cells do have nucleus
What are the three things a plant cell has that an animal cell does not? cell wall, chloroplast, large vacuole
This organelle is the place where a plant cell makes food. Chloroplast
This organelle digests particles in the cell. Lysosome
This organelle is a small cavity that stores/holds things and moves them around the cell. Vesicle
This organelle is a rigid structure on the outside of a plant cell. Cell Wall
This organelle is a small structure that makes proteins. Ribosomes
This organelle is called the transport pathway. ER
This organelle controls all things that happen in the cell. Nucleus
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell and breaks down food to release energy. Mitochondria
This is the jelly-like fluid that fills the cell. Cytoplasm
This organelle packages and delivers proteins. Golgi
This is the "blueprints" of the cell and is the genetic material. Chromosomes (DNA)
This organelle has pores that let things in and out of the cell Cell Membrane
This organelle is a storage center. Vacuole
What is photosynthesis? the process where a plant makes food using the sun's energy
What three things does a plant need for photosynthesis? water, sunlight, carbon dioxide
What are the two products of photosynthesis? glucose, oxygen
What organelle does photosynthesis occur in? chloroplast
What types of organisms does photosynthesis occur in? plants only
What are the two things an organism needs to do cellular respiration? glucose and oxygen
What are the three products of cellular respiration? carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP)
What is cellular respiration? The process of breaking down food to release energy
What organelle does cellular respiration occur in ? mitochondria
What types of organisms does cellular respiration occur in? plants AND animals
Where does almost all the energy for living things come from? sun
How do plants depend on animals? Animals give carbon dioxide to plants.
How do animals depend on plants? Plants give animals oxygen and food
Why is it important for your body to produce new cells all the time? to replace the ones that die
Cells --> ______ --> organs --> ____ --> organisms tissue, organ system
When a cell goes through the cell cycle, how do the daughter cells compare to the parent cell? They are identical
What is the cell cycle? the process in which a cell divides
What happens during interphase? the cell grows and DNA is duplicated
What happens during prophase? the nucleus dissolves and the chromosomes wind up into chromatids.
What happens during metaphase? the chromatids line up along the center of the cell.
What happens during anaphase? the chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell with help from the centrioles
What happens during telophase? a new nucleus forms around each of the groups of chromatids, and then the chromatids unwind
What happens during cytokinesis? the cell splits into two new daughter cells, identical to the parent cell.
What is biogenesis? life comes from life
What is spontaneous generation? life simply appears
What is active transport? movement of particles from low to high concentration using energy
What is passive transport? movement of particles from high to low concentration without using energy
Why are microscopes useful to scientists? they allow us to see things that are too small to see with the naked eye

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
