Cell parts

Question 1

What is the function of the nucleus?

Answer 1

The primary functions of the nucleus are to store the cell’s DNA, maintain its integrity, and facilitate its transcription and replication.

Question 2

What types of cells have a nucleus?

Answer 2

Both plant and animal but not prokaryotic

Question 3

What is the function of a cell wall?

Answer 3

The cell wall is made of cellulose and gives support and shape to all plant cells. The structure is strong and rigid which allows the cell to be supported as turgor pressure increases.

Question 4

What two parts are found in plant cells but not animal cells?

Answer 4

Cell wall and chloroplasts

Question 5

Which organelle is found in an animal cell but not a plant cell?

Answer 5

mitochondria

Question 6

What is the function of ribosomes?

Answer 6

Ribosomes assembles amino acids to make proteins for the cell.

Question 7

What is the basic unit or building block of life?

Answer 7

cells

Question 8

What is the smallest unit of matter?

Answer 8

cells

Question 9

How do pro and eukaryotic cells work

Answer 9

A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific job.

Question 10

What is an organism?

Answer 10

an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form

Question 11

What is a Organ System

Answer 11

A group of organs that work together to perform body functions

Question 12

What is a biome

Answer 12

Large ecosystems with similar climate, animals, and vegetation.

Question 13

What is a community

Answer 13

Contains multiple populations of different species living in a common area.

Question 14

What is an individual?

Answer 14

single celled

Question 15

What is a organism?

Answer 15

A community of biotic species and abiotic parts of an environment.
For example: birds, trees, elephant, sun, rock, water

Question 16

What is a Biosphere?

Answer 16

Large neighboring biomes that interact across a planet. The term translates to “ball of sphere”.
For example: the Earth

Question 17

What is a organ?

Answer 17

A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific job.

Question 18

List the levels of organization from cells to biosphere:

Answer 18

A,M,Org,C,T,O,OS,Or,P,Co,E,B,BS

Question 19

What does biotic mean?

Answer 19

of or relating to life

Question 20

What does abiotic mean?

Answer 20

devoid of life

Question 21

List all three parts of the cell theory

Answer 21

1. All living thing came from cells 2. cells are the basic unit of life 3. Cells came from pre exising cells

Question 22

What is Phototropism?

Answer 22

The turning of all or part of a plant (and other organisms) in response to the direction of light.

Question 23

What is Gravitropism mean?

Answer 23

The turning of all or part of a plant (and other organisms) in response to the sensation or downward pull of gravity.

Question 24

What is thigmotropism?

Answer 24

It’s where is reacts to touch.

Question 25

Define turgor pressure

Answer 25

urgor, Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall. Turgor is what makes living plant tissue rigid. Loss of turgor, resulting from the loss of water from plant cells, causes flowers and leaves to wilt.

Question 26

Which type of cell(s) contain the organelle called a vacuole?

Answer 26

Plants

Question 27

Which type of cell is larger, more complex, and generally rounder in shape? Eukaryotic or prokaryotic

Answer 27

Eukaryotic

Question 28

What is the function of a vacuole?

Answer 28

To hold the water

Question 29

What is the function of chloroplast?

Answer 29

Chloroplast captures light to give energy to the plant called photosynthesis.

Question 30

what is Cytoplasm?

Answer 30

Cytoplasm is the gel-like fluid that fills the inside of ALL types of cells. It is the fluid that all parts of cells float in.

Question 31

Which type of cells contain ribosomes? Plant, Animal, Prokaryotic?

Answer 31

Both

Question 32

What part of the cell surrounds the entire cell (like an outer skin) and controls what comes in and out of the cell?

Answer 32

Cell membrane

Question 33

What is mitochondria?

Answer 33

Mitochondria is the “power house” organelle of cells. It converts food into energy (ATP).
