Life Science - Unit 3: Cell Structure

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

Term
Definition
Active Transport   The movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to high concentration. This DOES require the use of energy.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   An outer boundary of protection for the organelles within a cell. All cells have a cell membrane.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Chloroplast is green in color and is involved with capturing and storing energy for plant cells.  
🗑
Cilia   Tiny hair like structures on the outside of some cells. These are short and there are many of them.  
🗑
Cytology   The study of cells.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   The thick fluid inside the cell membrane where the organelles are located.  
🗑
Diffusion   The movement of molecules by Passive Transport from and are of high to low concentration.  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   Directs the assembling of proteins.  
🗑
Flagaella   Tiny hair like structures on the outside of some cells. These are long and there are only a few of them.  
🗑
Fluid Mosaic Model   A basic membrane structure that is composed of a double layer of lipids and embedded with protein molecules.  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   Processes, packages, and sends molecules where they need to go.  
🗑
Hydrophobic   In a cell membrane the lipids hydrophobic end does not like water so it points toward the interior of the cell membrane (away from the water).  
🗑
Hydrophilic   In a cell membrane the lipids hydrophilic end like water so it points toward the outer part of the cell membrane (closer to the water).  
🗑
Lysosome   Beaks down waste and digests old cell parts.  
🗑
Mitochondria   Breaks down sugar into usable energy.  
🗑
Nucleus   This is called the control center of the cell which contains DNA (a genetic material of the cell).  
🗑
Organelles   Different parts of the cell that perform many of the functions needed to keep the cell alive.  
🗑
Osmosis   The passive transport of water molecules from an area of high to low concentration.  
🗑
Passive Transport   The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This does NOT require the use of energy.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   A process where chloroplasts use energy from the sun to make sugar.  
🗑
Ribosomes   The place where proteins are made.  
🗑
Vacuole   This is where the cell stores food, water, and waste.  
🗑
What does a selectively permeable membrane allow to pass through it?   It allows only certain molecules to pass through it.  
🗑
How are osmosis and diffusion the same.?   They both involve passive transport - moving molecules from an area of high to low concentration.  
🗑
How are osmosis and diffusion different?   Osmosis is the movement of water molecules while diffusion is the movement of other molecules.  
🗑
How are active and passive transport similar?   The both are involved in diffusion.  
🗑
How are active and passive transport different?   Active transport requires energy and moves molecules from an area of low to high concentration. Passive transport does not require the use of energy and moves molecules from an area of high to low concentration.  
🗑
How are plant and animal cells different?   Plant cells have a cell wall, one large vacuole, and chloroplast when animal cells do not. Animal cells have lysosomes and many small vacuoles when plant cells do not.  
🗑
Why is the compound microscope called "compound"?   Because it uses two sets of lenses.  
🗑
What two organelles help the cell to move?   Cilia and Flagella  
🗑
Where is the genetic material of a cell located?   In the nucleus - the control center of the cell.  
🗑
What is the difference between a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell?   Eukaryotic cells have genetic materials that are surrounded by a membrane. Eukaryotic cells also have a nucleus and their organelles are surrounded by a membrane.  
🗑
What are eukaryotic cells? Name 3.   They have a true nucleus and their genetic material is surrounded by a nuclear membrane. They also contain most organelles. Examples include: algae, plant cells, animal cells, and human cells.  
🗑
What are prokaryotic cells? Name 1.   Their genetic material is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane. An example is bacteria.  
🗑
What is turgor pressure?   It is the abundance of water inside a cell that has a rigid cell wall. You can tell if a plant has high turgor pressure if the leaves and stems are crisp and stiff. If a plant has low turgor pressure the leaves and stems will be limp and wilted.  
🗑
What is a fluid mosaic model made of?   They are made of proteins and lipids = proteins embedded in a lipid bi-layer.  
🗑
What is the outer boundary of the cell called?   cell membrane  
🗑


   

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.
