What type of cell is pictured? How do you know?

bacteria (prokaryotic) cell--no nucleus; coccus/sphere shaped

What is the main function for nucleic acids in a cell?

provide information/instructions for making an organism (and proteins)

T/F: The cell theory applies to plants, animals, bacteria, rocks, and soil. Explain.

False; The cell theory only applies to LIVING organisms.

What is the job of the cell membrane?

regulates/controls what goes in and out of the cell

What type of cells are pictured? How do you know?

eukaryotic cells (nucleus present)

What are orgelles?

specialized structures found in eukaryotic cells that allow for specific functions

Explain the structure of a phospholipid.

Hydrophilic head; 2 hydrophobic tails

What is the main macromolecule that makes up the cell membrane?

lipids (phospholipid bilayer)

What does the cell theory state?

1. all living things are made of cells 2. cells are the basic unit of life 3. cells come from other cells

What is the purpose of carbohydrates found in/on the plasma membrane?

structural support/ cell signaling and recognition

What is the purpose of proteins embedded in the cell membrane?

transport, communication, signaling, connecting cells, etc.

What is a nucleus? Which colored structure is it in the image?

organelle that controls protects a cell's DNA- red

How many cells make up prokaryotic organims?

1

What does it mean to say that the cell is the most "basic unit of life"?

If a cell was broken down into its parts, those parts would not be considered living on their own

Which types of cells contain nucleic acids?

ALL CELLS!

Which major structures do plant cells have that animal cells lack?

chloroplasts, cell wall, central vacuole

How many cells make up eukaryotic organisms?

many (multicellular)

Give an example for organisms that are made of prokaryotic cells.

bacteria

Where is the genetic information found for prokaryotic cells?

free-floating (in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid)

Why are ribosomes important for the cell?

They are the site for protein synthesis.

What are the two main types of cells?

prokaryotic, eukaryotic

Finish the sentence: When viewing cells through a microscope, the _____________________ is usually visible for eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

cell membrane

Give an example for organisms that are made of eukaryotic cells.

animal, plant, fungi, protist

Explain why humans have so many different types of cells.

specialized cells for specialized functions

Which structures are found in ALL cells?

cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes
