This study stack is to help you study for a test on Cells

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
What is the function of the cell wall?   helps to protect and support the cell  
🗑
What does the cell membrane do for the cell?   controls what substances come into and out of the cell  
🗑
Which cell has a cell wall, an animal cell or a plant cell?   plant cell  
🗑
What is the "brain" of the cell   the nucleus  
🗑
What is an organelle?   the tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell  
🗑
What does mitochondria do for the cell?   converts energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its function  
🗑
Which part of a cell produces protein?   ribosomes  
🗑
What is the function of chloroplasts?   takes energy from the sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell (photosynthesis)  
🗑
What is the difference between a bacterial cell and a plant or animal cell?   does not contain a nucleus.  
🗑
What is diffusion?   the main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane  
🗑
What causes diffusion?   collisions of molecules against each other cause them to push away from one another which, over time, cause the molecules will spread out until they are evenly distributed.  
🗑
Give an analogy of diffusion.   students in a crowded hallway spread out when going through a bigger hallway  
🗑
Give an analogy of a cell membrane   the walls of a castle are like a cell membrane because they protect the castle and the gatekeeper decides who to let in or out  
🗑
What is osmosis?   the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
Why does osmosis occur?   because cells cannot function properly without adequate water and many cellular processes depend on it  
🗑
What process took place when we put the food coloring into the water for our egg experiment?   diffusion  
🗑
What process took place when the egg sat in the water with food coloring?   osmosis  
🗑
How is osmosis related to diffusion?   it is the process by which small molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. versus the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
Give an analogy of photosynthesis   solar panels, because they take energy from the sun and turn it into energy we can use.  
🗑
What is active transport?   the movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy; it requires the cell to use its own energy  
🗑
What is passive transport?   is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without using cellular energy  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
