Q

What happens inside the mitochondrion?

A

Glucose is broken down into smaller molecules and water is created. Oxygen is converted into carbon dixide and form enegry for the cell

25
How does the cell make proteins inside the ribosome?
They turn RNA into protiens
26
How do vesicles move through the cell?
They are pulled along the cytoskeleton by a protein called kinesin.
27
What are the two basic cell types
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
28
In what cells is a cell wall found
Plant
29
What organelle contains DNA
Nucleus
30
What organelle makes protiens
ribosomes
31
what organelle breaks down waste
lysome
32
What does a rough ER do
Ribosomes make proteins that will be shipped via transport vesicles
33
What does a smoothe ER do
Contains a lot of enzymes >> proteins that speed up reactions in the body
34
What does the golgi do
recieves refines stores, and distribuites cellular products
35
What prokaryotic cells
small and simple cells, no nucleus or membrane bound organelles, includes bacteria
36
Whats Eukaryotic cells
Larger and more complex, contains nucleus and other membrane bound organelles, plants and animals
37
Define: Cell wall
Provides support and not found in animal cells
38
Which Endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes
rough ER
39
Name some examples of what lysosomes break down ---- into -----
Protein> amino acid carb> simple sugar fat > fatty acid Nucleic acid> nucleotide
40
After the rough er where do the transport vesicles go
Golgi body
41
Where do lysosomes come out of
golgi body
42
What are vacuoles
large membranous sac that buds off the ER or golgi body, they store water and waste
43
where are chloroplasts found
plant cells
44
what do chloroplasts do
turn sunlight into food
45
what does the mitchondria do
cellular respiration> direct energy source for the cell
46
what is the cytoskeleton
network of protien fibers that serve as the cells skeletal "muscles"
47
What are the 5 parts of a prokaryotic cell
1.cell wall 2. cell membrane 3. cytoplasm 4. ribsosmes 5. DNA
48
Whats a flagel
long whip like tail that moves cell through surroundings
49
Whats a cilia
Many short- hair like projections that draws materials in towards cell
50
Whats the pusedopodia
temporary extension of cytoplasm that allows the cell to drag itself in one direction
51
What cell has a irrgular shape, plant or animal
animal
52
what cell has a fixed shape, plant or animal
plant
53
why are cells so small
there a limit on how big cells can be, if its bigger its harder for nutrients to move in and out of the cell
54
if its a small cell its a ----- surface area to volume ratio
large
55
if its a big cell its a ---- surface area to volume ratio
small
56
whats the problem with a big cell
nutrients would not get into the cell as fast as the cell needs it to
57
what is cell speclization
basic cells specilized to perform a certain task
58
Name some examples of specialized cells
Heart, muscle, skin, brain, lungs
59
What cell type has the potiental to become any other cell
stem cell
60
whats cell diferation
cells devolve differently
61
why do different cell structures form
to perform different activities
62
why do different cell structures form
to perform different activities
