#1
Front (Question)

what is the cell theory

Back (Answer)

• cells are the simplest unit of life • all organisms are composed of one or more cells • all cells come from preexisting cells

#2
Front (Question)

Are prokaryotic organisms membrane or non membrane bound organelles?

Back (Answer)

No membrane-bound organelles

#3
Front (Question)

Do prokaryotes have a nucleus?

Back (Answer)

No

#4
Front (Question)

Are eukaryotic organisms membrane or non membrane bound organelles?

Back (Answer)

they are membrane bound organelles

#5
Front (Question)

Do eukaryotes have a nucleus?

Back (Answer)

yes

#6
Front (Question)

What is an organelle?

Back (Answer)

it’s a specialized structure that performs a specific job in a cell

#7
Front (Question)

cytoplasm

Back (Answer)

everything inside the cell membrane

#8
Front (Question)

cytosol

Back (Answer)

everything inside the cell membrane but outside the organelles

#9
Front (Question)

what are the functions of the cytosol

Back (Answer)

site of many metobolic reactions and transmits signals from the environment

#10
Front (Question)

what are the functions of the cytoskeleton

Back (Answer)

• provides cell shape and support • transport of cells contents • movement of the cell (flagella and cilia) • seperation of chromosomes during cell division

#11
Front (Question)

what are ribosomes?

Back (Answer)

site of protein synthesis, protein factories

#12
Front (Question)

what are plasma (cell) membrane

Back (Answer)

composed of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded. it provides a barrier and seperates the contents of the cell from extracellular environment

#13
Front (Question)

chromatin

Back (Answer)

DNA is wound around proteins

#14
Front (Question)

chromosomes

Back (Answer)

highly condensed chromatin

#15
Front (Question)

rough ER

Back (Answer)

( with ribosomes) proteins are folded, modified, and passed to the golgi apparatus

#16
Front (Question)

smooth ER functions

Back (Answer)

(lacks ribosomes) 1. lipid synthesis 2. detoxification

#17
Front (Question)

golgi apparatus

Back (Answer)

post office 1. recieves, modifies, and packages proteins and lipids from the ER 2. sends modified products to destination 3. synthesizes structural carbohydrates

#18
Front (Question)

lysosomes

Back (Answer)

recycling centers 1. breaks down waste molecules and worn out organelles and foreign material

#19
Front (Question)

peroxisomes

Back (Answer)

contains over 50 enzymes involved in a variety of cellular reactions hydrogen peroxide is produced as a byproduct functions: 1. break down fatty acids 2. detoxification 3. lipid synthesis

#20
Front (Question)

Why are mitochondria and chloroplasts refered to as semiautonomous organelles?

Back (Answer)

It contains DNA and RNA that functions but many of their proteins are encoded by nuclear DNA and they can divide independently.

#21
Front (Question)

mitochondria

Back (Answer)

site of aerobic cellular respiration, energy in food molecules is turned to energy in ATP

#22
Front (Question)

chloroplasts

Back (Answer)

site of photosynthesis

#23
Front (Question)

plant cell wall

Back (Answer)

composed of cellulose functions: 1. protection of plant cell from physical damage 2. shape and support

#24
Front (Question)

vacuoles (central vacuole in plants)

Back (Answer)

storage of nutrients maintaince of turgor pressure breakdown of waste
