Question
Answer
What is the order of organization of systems?   Cell--tissue--organ--organ system--organism  
🗑
Organism   Anything that can live on its own  
🗑
Cell   membrane covered structure that contains all the materials necessary for life  
🗑
Tissue   a group of cells working together to perform a specific job  
🗑
Organ   two or more tissues working together to perform a specific job  
🗑
Organ system   group of organs working together (i.e- digestive, respiratory)  
🗑
Robert Hooke   Saw first cells in cork  
🗑
Anton Van Leewenhoek   first observed living cells in pond water  
🗑
Cell theory   a) all organisms are composed of one or more cells b) cell is the basic unit of life in all living things c) all cells come from other cells  
🗑
Why can't cells be the size of a basketball? (Include volume/surface area in your answer)   Cells are small because the surface is not large enough to bring in enough nutrients or get rid of enough waste to keep cell alive -Inside (volume) grows faster than the outside (surface area) -Big or small organisms have the same size of cells  
🗑
What are the 2 type of cells?   Eukaryote & Prokaryote  
🗑
Prokaryote   No nucleus to contain DNA; it floats around (i.e- bacteria)  
🗑
Eukaryote   Has nucleus which contains DNA (i.e- animal cells)  
🗑
Organelles   little organs of function  
🗑
Cytoplasm   jellylike material that surrounds organelles  
🗑
What does the cell membrane do?   allows nutrients and waste to move into and out of cell -made of phospholipids that do not like water so they force the water to go through gated channels -all cells have cell membrane  
🗑
Nucleus   largest organelle; stores DNA  
🗑
Nucleolus   in nucleus; stores material used to make ribosomes  
🗑
Ribosomes   smallest and most abundant organelle -amino acids hook together to make proteins  
🗑
Ednoplasmic Reticulum   sacks and tunnels of membranes that carry substances to outside of cell -Found a lot in cells that make proteins, lipids, and enzymes -Break down chemicals that harm cells  
🗑
Types of endoplasmic reticulum   Rough- covered with ribosomes; transport proteins Smooth- is not covered with ribosomes  
🗑
Golgi bodies   flattened stacked membranes -changes lipids and proteins, pinches them off into sacks (vesicles) and ships them out of the cell -helps create lusosomes  
🗑
Vesicle   membrane bound structure that carries substances from golgi bodies  
🗑
Lysosomes   contain digestive enzymes -breakdown old cells and bacteria -"garbage trucks" of the cell  
🗑
What cells have a lot of lysosomes and why?   White blood cells b/c they attack bacteria, etc.  
🗑
Mitochondria   energy is released in this organelle from glucose being broken down -active organs like muscles have more mitochondria  
🗑
Cristae (mitochondria has it)   inner folds that increase the surface area so more glucose can be broken down and more energy (ATP) released  
🗑
Plant cells have some organelles that ___________ don't have   animal cells  
🗑
Plant cells: cell wall   made of cellulose -tough and rigid  
🗑
Chloroplasts   contain cholorophyll- green pigment; absorb sunlight where photosynthesis occurs and glucose (sugar) is made  
🗑
Vacuoles   Sack that contains water, waste material, food -Makes up most of cells volume  
🗑
What are the two basic shapes of cells and what cells are they?   Square- plant cells usually round- animal cells  
🗑
Microscope   -magnifies objects  
🗑
Magnification   how much larger a specimen is when using a microscope  
🗑
List the 3 types of microscopes in order from least magnified to most magnified   Light microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope, and Transmission Election Microscope  
🗑
Light microscope   the models found in most schools, uses compound lenses and light to magnify objects. -The lenses bend or refract the light, which makes the object beneath them appear closer  
🗑
Scanning Electron Microscope   -SEMs do not use light waves; they use electrons (negatively charged electrical particles) to look at surface of object -Magnify objects up to 500,000X -If you want to look at the surface you may have to cover the surface by a very thin layer of gold  
🗑
Transmission Electron Microscope   aims beam of light through thin slices of specimen -Thicker pieces appear darker -Magnifies up to 1,000,000X  
🗑
cell membrane- gated channels   protein molecules that create openings to allow H2O or sugar, etc. to enter and leave the cell  
🗑


   

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.
