Cell Structure Review

Cell Structure Review

• Create a VENN diagram to compare and contrast Prokaryote Cell and Eukaryote Cell:

Surrounded by a cell membrane

Contain genetic information

Contain ribosomes

Genetic material contained in nucloid region

Simple

Example: Bacteria

Nucleus

Complex

Contain organelles

Example: plant, animal, fungi, protist

• What part of this nested VENN diagram includes prokaryotes:

List the levels of organization from smallest to largest.

• Atom• Molecule• Organelle• Cell• Tissue• Organ• Organ System• Organism• Population• Community• Ecosystem

Draw a diagram and explain endosymbiotic theory?

A prokaryote cell engulfs another prokaryote (mitochondrion) cell and creates a simple animal cell.

What does permeable mean? Why is a cell membrane semi-permeable?

• Permeable means to permit or allow things to pass through. The cell membrane is semi-permeable because it only allows CERTAIN things to pass through.

What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion?

• Diffusion is simply the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration.

• Osmosis deals specifically with water moving from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Label the area of high concentration, low concentration and carrier molecule.

High Concentration

Low Concentration

Carrier Molecule

Define and give an example:Positive Feedback and Negative Feedback

• Positive feedback: the type of feedback when a change in the controlled quantity is further increased by the system.– Example: conversion of enzymes to other

enzymes for digestion• Negative feedback: the type of feedback

when a change in the controlled quantity is counterbalanced by the system– Example: Guard cell adjusts for changes in

temperature and moisture

• When doing a microscope lab to observe cheek cells, what lab SAFETY equipment is necessary. Circle all that apply: – Apron– fire extinguisher– Goggles– ear plugs– fire blanket– Gloves– eye washer

What would be a research “problem” or question for this experiment?Does molecule size affect permeability of a membrane

Explain the procedure for the dialysis tubing lab?Iodine is added to water outside the baggie, starch is added inside the baggie, the iodine molecules move into the baggie turning the starch purple/black

What vocabulary term did we demonstrate?Diffusion (iodine into the baggie through the membrane)

What did the results demonstrate?The iodine molecules were small enough to travel through the membrane but starch molecules were not

List three differences between these cells:

1. Prokaryote has no nucleus only nucleoid region2. Eukaryote has several membrane-bound organelles;

prokaryote has no organelles3. Prokaryote is small and simple in structure

What is the function of these two structures?

Movement

What is another word for that function?

Motility

• Cytoplasm: portion of the cell outside of the nucleus

• Nucleus: control center of the cell• Contains nearly all the cell’s DNA• Coded instructions for making proteins

and other important molecules• Cell membrane: regulates what enters and

leaves the cell and provides protection and support

•Ribosome: Small particles of RNA found in the cytoplasm that produce proteins by following coded instructions from the nucleus

Mitochondria and Choroplasts• Mitochondria: organelles

that convert chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use

•Chloroplasts: organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy – photosynthesis
