29
What is one function of red blood cells
transport O and nutrience through the body
30
What is one function of white blood cells
fighting bacteria and infection
31
What is unique about the structure of red blood cells relative to other eukaryotic cells?
it has no nucleus
32
What is unique about the nuclei seen in white blood cells
they are multilobed/segmented which makes it look like it has many under a microscope
33
What is the function of sketetal muscle cells?
Moving muscles (contracting)
34
How many nuclei do sketetal muscle cells have
many
35
Would you expect a skeletal muscle to produce alot fo protein? why or why not?
alot since it requires alot of movement and energy
36
would you expect a skeletal musecle cell to have more mitochondria than other cell types? why or why not?
More, it needs alot of energy
37
What is unique about the function of sperm
meant for alot of movement and reproduction
38
Which organelle can be seen on sperm that was not observed in previous cell types? why does it need this?
flagella, it needs it for quick movement
39
Do spern have a nucleus? if so, where?
yes, in the head
40
Whould you expect a sperm cell to have a relatively low or high number of mitochondria compared to other cells
high, it requires alot of movement
41
What is the funciton of squamous cells? how does the shape of squamous cells contribute to their function?
protection from the outside world. they are wide and flat
42
How many nuclei do squamous cells have
one
43
What is unique about the fucntion fo a nerve cell
Send and receive signals from your brain
44
What is unqie about the shape of a nerve cell
It is star shaped with arms reaching out to connect to other cells
45
What organelles are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cels? can you see them with the microscope?
cell wall, yes
46
What is unique about the surrounding structure of plant cells? why would they need this?
cell wall, for structure and support and to keep rigidity
47
Do plant cells have a cell membrane? mitochondria?
yes,
48
Regarding size, how do prokaryotic cells compare to the size of eukaryotic cells?
Prokariotic cells are smaller
49
How many nuclei do prokaryotic cells contain
None, they have a nucleiod region
50
do prokaryotic cells have mitochondria
nah
51
Do prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane? wall?
yes
52
do prokaryotic cells have DNA
yes
53
Do bacteria have a nucelus
no
54
Do bacteria have membrane bound organelles
no
55
What shape is coccus bacteria? bacillus?
Coccus: round Bacillus: rod
56
what does Staphylo imply about a bacteria grouping pattern? Strepto?
Staphylo: Clusters Strepto: Chains
57
What is the shape of Clusters of round bacteria

Strepto Bacillus
61
Most bacteria have an outer cell wall made of a polymer of sugars and proteins called ________-
peptidoglycan
62
What is peptidoglycon
a polymer of sugars and proteins that make up the outer cell wall of some bacteria
63
What is a gram positive bacteria
Bacteria with a cell wall composed of up to 90% peptidoglycan
64
What is a gram negitive bacteria
Bacteria with a cell wall composed of only about 20%. Gram negitive bacteria will have a second, outermembrane made of phospholipids.
65
What is the order of reagents in gram staining procedure and what does each step basically do
Crystal violet (purple dye), iodine (mordant), alcohol (decolorization), safranin (counterstain)
66
What color is a gram positive bacteria? negitive?
Pos:purple Neg: pink
67
What does crystal violet stain?
gram pos and neg
68
What does iodine/mordant do in a gram stain?
it binds the crystal violent to the cytoplasm
69
What does decolorizer/alcohol do in a gram stain
Drills a hole in the thin layer of peptidoglycan of gram neg, causing the purple to leave (it doesn't affect pos because the peptidoglycan is thick and only becomes less permiable)
70
What does counterstain/Safranin do in a gram stain
stain the decollorized (neg) bateria pink
71
What process drives solutes to move about in a solution so that the concetration of each individual solute is the same throughtout the entire solution
diffusion
72
What is the goal of diffusion
equalibrium
73
Cell membranes contain channels and pumps that specifically allow only certain substances to cross, making the membrane _____-
semipermeable
74
Solutes that have channels (not pumps) let solutes move ______ into or out of cells ______ the solutes concentration gradient
passively, down
75
What solution has the same amount of solute compared to the cytoplasm
isotonic
