Chapter 4 General Biology Study Guide
1.
Know the three statements of cell theory and be able to define a cell.
2.
Be able to state the limiting factor of cell growth and know how surface area to volume ratio
is calculated for a typical cell.
3.
Be able to calculate the actual size of a cell from an estimated apparent size using metric
conversions.
4.
Be able to draw, label and explain the molecules that make up cell membranes.
5.
Be able to draw a typical animal cell and label 16 cellular organelles
6.
Know the structure and function of those organelles as well as special features discussed in
class.
7.
Be able to list the distinguishing differences between plant and animal cells
8.
What are the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? Give an example of each.
9.
List the organization of matter and biologics- atoms-molecules-cells-tissues-organs-organ
systems, organisms and give an example of each level.
10.
Know the significance of the following scientists: Robert Hooke and Anton van
Leeuwenhoek.
11.
Be able to calculate magnifying power and label parts of the microscope.
12.
Be able to describe the three major cellular processes i.e. ( respiration, division, metabolism)
13.
As always, you will need to be able to work metric conversion problems in scientific
notation, but this time I will need you to actually calculate a real value in terms of size of
varying cells in conjunction with the microscope use.
14.
