Q

All cells fall into one of the 2 categories for cells, what are the 2 categories?

What are some differences?

A

Prokaryotes: all single celled organisms, they tend to be smaller, more simple, primitive,

Eukaryotes: (“Eu” have a nucleus), tend to be bigger & more complex

Q

What is the name of the “command center” for the cell,

as well as where we find DNA,

and typically the largest ORGANELLE found inside eukaryotes !

A

Nucleus ! ! !

17
Q

What are the 3 main parts of the nucleus?

A

nuclear envelope (“wall” around nucleus)

chromatin (knotted up DNA)

nucleolus (the nucleus inside the nucleus makin’dem ribosomes!)

18
Q

Ribosomes (remember those protein factories?)

take their directions from the ______________ .

A

DNA (within the nucleus)

19
Q

Ribosomes are found mainly in what 2 places in the cell?

A

Cytoplasm

and

Rough ER

20
Q

What are Smooth ER and Rough ER? What does each make?

A

They are types of ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Rough (for ribosomes) make proteins

Smooth make lipids (AKA fats)

BONUS: What tissues can you find more of each one?

21
Q

Explain how the Golgi Apparatus is like

a Lego set builder.

A

“Cell Manager” Golgi takes vesicle proteins

and builds them into needed materials for the cell and body.

It also makes lysosomes!

22
Q

Vesicles do what?

A

transport molecules around the cell (from ER to Golgi)

23
Q

Who are the trash eating demo organelles?

A

Lysosomes

BONUS: Where do they come from?

24
Q

If Lysosomes are the “trash men” of the cell,

what organelle stores the cell’s water, food, and poo?

Ew, floating around together?

A

Vacuoles! !

BONUS: Identify which cell is a plant and give 2 reasons?

25
What organelle has cell sap and explain why it causes plants to wilt?
A plant **VACUOLE** holds cell sap which keeps a plant upright. If the plant doesn't get enough water, the vacuole will not be full enough to keep the plant standing up.
26
What "m" organelle has mDNA ? "mother" DNA? ;) What's it's job?
mitochondria make menergy
27
What is the green beast of the leaf? You know the thing that holds chloro-what? And magically turns sunlight into wha-what?
Chloroplasts! Chlorophyll Energy
28
Endosymbiotic Explain this super confusing hard to pronounce word.
endo- "in" symbio- "relationship" One creature living inside another.
29
Endoskeleton is skeleton on the "inside" (like humans), Exoskeleton is on the outside of creatures (like xenomorphs & bugs) What is cytoskeleton?
The internal protein-filament frame in a cell, gives it shape or movement. BONUS: What are the 2 types of protein-filaments? #82
30
Centrioles, WTF are they ?
ONLY ANIMAL CELLS: Tubulin structures that help in cell reproduction (AKA: cell division)
31
What are some jobs of a cell's Lipid Bilayer?
Flexible "bags" to hold all the cell juice & organelles together. Gatekeeper to what comes in & out of the cell (using protein "gates") Carbohydrates embedded in the lipid bilayer are the cell's ID.
32
A solvent and solute make up a **solution**. What is a **solvent**? What is a **solute**?
A **solute** is being dissolved by the **solvent** (typically liquid).
33
The more solute in a solvent the higher the ______________ of the soultion.
concentration Bonus Berry Time ! ! !
34
When a solution reaches **equilibrium**, what does that mean about the solute and solvent?
The solute has **diffused** evenly throughout the solution.
35
Explain how water (and not a sugar molecule) can move through a semipermeable membrane?
Semipermeable only lets certain molecules through. Water diffuses through membranes by osmosis.
36
True or False: **Osmotic pressure** is the amount of water inside a cell causing pressure on the cell membrane (**lipid bilayer**).
True ! Think of a swelling balloon!
37
**Passive transport** is the movement of molecules across the lipid bilayer (cell membrane). What are the 2 types? (one moves on its own like water, one needs "help")
**Diffusion** and **Facilitated diffuse** (via protein channels in the **lipid bilayer**)
38
**Passive transport** does NOT require energy? What is the type of transport that requires activity?
39
What are **endocytosis** and **exocytosis**?
**Endocytosis** is when the cell membrane "chomps" up material outside forming a vacuole & ***brings it into the cell***. **Exocytosis** is when the cell ***spits it out*** (via a vacuole).
