Lesson 1

Question 1

plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process

Answer 1

chloroplast

Question 2

A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell. A chromosome is made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes. The molecule inside cells that contains the genetic information responsible for the development and function of an organism

Answer 2

DNA/Chromosomes

Question 3

A small sac formed by a membrane and filled with liquid

Answer 3

Vesicle

Question 4

the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes

Answer 4

Nucleus

Question 5

a structure found inside cells that is involved in making proteins. Ribosomes help link amino acids together to form proteins.

Answer 5

Ribosome

Question 6

the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell.

Answer 6

Cytoplasm

Question 7

membrane-bound cell organelles that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions.

Answer 7

Mitochondria

Question 8

series of connected flattened sacs, part of a continuous membrane organelle within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, that plays a central role in the synthesis of proteins.

Answer 8

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 9

synthesis of essential lipids such as phospholipids and cholesterol. Smooth ER is also responsible for the production and secretion of steroid hormones. It is also responsible for the metabolism of carbohydrates.

Answer 9

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 10

A stack of small flat sacs formed by membranes inside the cell’s cytoplasm (gel-like fluid). The Golgi body prepares proteins and lipid (fat) molecules for use in other places inside and outside the cell.

Answer 10

Golgi Body

Question 11

separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Answer 11

Cell Membrane

Question 12

divide distance traveled by the solute by the distance traveled by the solvent

Answer 12

How to find RF Values

Question 13

is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down the concentration gradient.

Answer 13

Diffusion

Question 14

is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell’s partially permeable membrane.

Answer 14

Osmosis

Question 15

Why was Lugol’s Iodine solution used?

Answer 15

To determine if starch was or was not present.

Question 16

How did you determine if glucose was present?

Answer 16

By completing a glucose paper test.
