The Cell in Action

Chapter 4: The Cell in Action pgs. 90 - 101 Study Stack for Mrs. Hacker Science

QuestionAnswer
(term) the movement of water through a membrane osmosis
(term) the movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy passive transport
(term) the process by which a cell membrane surrounds and encloses a large particle to bring it into the cell endocytosis
(term) the sac formed around a large particle to allow a cell to take in or remove the particle vesicle
(term) the movement of substances through a cell membrane with the use of cell energy active transport
(term) the movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density diffusion
(term) the process by which a cell gets rid of large particles exocytosis
During the process of diffusion ______________. particles more from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration
Osmosis is important to cell because ________. cells are filled with fluids that are made mostly of water
Cellular respiration is the process by which _______________. cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
One type of fermentation in muscle cells produces ______. lactic acid
Photosynthesis allows _________. a plant to produce food (glucose)
(term) the process a plant uses in order to create glucose photosynthesis
(term) the place where cellular respiration in eukaryotes takes place mitochondria
(term) the process cells use to produce energy without oxygen fermentation
(term) the substance that supplies energy to fuel cell activities ATP
A eukaryotic cell _____. has a nucleus
How are binary fission and mitosis similar? How do they differ? They both involve cell division. They differ because binary fission occurs in prokaryotes and mitosis in eukaryotes.
What would happen if cytokinesis occurred without mitosis? There would be one chromosome and the cell would look exactly like one parent cell.
In your own words, write a definition for the term "fermentation". Fermentation is the process by which food is broken down without the use of oxygen.
02 is released during _____. photosynthesis
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related? They go into each other.
How are respiration and fermentation similar? How are they different? They both are used to get energy from food. Cellular respiration uses oxygen to get energy and fermentation doesn't use oxygen to get energy.
Applying Concepts: You have been given the job of restoring life to a barren island. What types of organisms would you put on the island? If you want to have animals on this island, what other organisms must you bring? Explain your answer. I would put many plants and trees because they would produce oxygen and shelter. I would put cows on the island cause they would fertilize the plants.
Why is it important for your body produce millions of new cells by the time you finish reading this sentence? Making many new cells allows you to grow and replace cells that have died to stay with enough cells to live.
When does the cell cycle begin? when the cell is formed
When does the cell cycle end? when the cell divides and makes new cells
What must a cell do before it can divide to make a new cell? Before a cell divides, it must make a copy of its DNA
What makes sure that each new cell will be an exact copy of its parent cell? The DNA of a cell is organized into structures called chromosomes. Copying chromosomes ensures that each new cell will be an exact copy of its parent cell.
A cell without a nucleus is a ____ cell. prokaryotic
A cell with a nucleus is a ____ cell. eukaryotic
A chromosome is the main ring of DNA in a _______ cell. prokaryotic
A chromosome is made up of DNA and protein in a ____ cell. eukaryotic
A chromosome is made u of DNA and protein in a ______ cell. eukaryotic
Are bacteria prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells? prokaryotic
Bacteria create new cells through a kind of cell division called _____ _____. binary fission
When binary fission is complete, the results are 2 cells that each contain one copy of the circle of ___. DNA
Humans have ___ chromosomes. 46
Fruit have only _ chromosomes. 8
Potatoes have ___ chromosomes. 48
Chromosomes line up into pair called __. homologous chromosomes
In the beginning of the eukaryotic cell cycle, the cell grows and duplicates its ____ and ___. organelles : chromosomes
After a chromosome is duplicated, the 2 copies are called _____. chromatids
Before mitosis begins, what paired cell structures are copied? the chromosomes
What happens in the third stage of the eukaryotic cell cycle? the cell splits into 2
What happens in the 2nd stage of the eukaryotic cell cycle? the chromatids separate
What is the first stage of mitosis called? the interphase
