CELL STRUCTURE & LIVING THINGS
STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS LEARNING TARGETS:
• I CAN iden2fy basic cell structures and tell what each one does.
• I CAN compare and contrast the differences between plant and animal cells
• I CAN describe and explain how living things are classified.
1. What is the smallest unit of life? A cell
2. What are the major structures within a cell called? organelles
3. What is the func7on of the cell membrane? To control what enters and exits a cell
4. What is diffusion? A way materials move across a cell membrane
5. How do the materials move during diffusion? From high concentra7on to low concentra7on
6. What is osmosis? The diffusion of water
7. What is the func7on of cytoplasm? To hold all other organelles in place
8. What does the cytoplasm look like? What is it made of? It is a gel-­‐like fluid made mostly of water
* Examples are mushrooms, yeasts, mold, mildew
9. What is the func7on of the nucleus? To control the cell
10. What is the func7on of the vacuole? A temporary storage center
Plant Kingdom Characteristics:
11. What things can a vacuole store? Water, waste, and food
* multicellular, eukaryotic organisms
12. What is the func7on of chloroplasts? To change light energy into food
* all
autotrophs (photosynthetic)
13. What do chloroplast contain? chlorophyll
*
sexual
(pollen & ovule)
14. What is the freproduction
unc7on of mitochondria? To create energy for the cell
*
cell
walls
made
of
cellulose
15. What is the func7on of the cell wall? To provide shape and support to a plant cell
* classified
into Nonvascular (no tubes) or Vascular (has tubes) with or without seeds
16. What organelles are in both plant and animal cells? Cell membrane, vacuoles (different sizes), mitochondria, cytoplasm, *
Examples
are mosses (NV), ferns (seedless V), pine trees, shrubs, grass, flowers (V with seeds)
nucleus
*
nonmotile
17. What organelles are in plant cells only? Cell wall, chloroplasts
18. Why do animal cells need smaller vacuoles? Because they get food from their environment
Animal
19. What are tKingdom
he general Characteristics:
shapes of plant and animal cells? Animal: circular Plant: rectangular
*
multicellular,
organisms
20. What are the three teukaryotic
ypes of bacteria? Draw them. Spiral (corkscrew shaped), bacillus (rod/pill shaped), and coccus (round *
all
heterotrophs
shaped)
* NO
21. What are cell
the twall
hree pro7sts? Amoeba, paramecium, and euglena
*
mostly
asexual
reproduction
22. Why are cellular processes essen7al? They ensure the survival of the cell and the larger organism
* Cells
are
organized into
tissues
thatchloroplasts
make up organs
23. Where does photosynthesis occur? In the *
Movement:
most
are
motile;
some
are
sessile/nonmotile (coral)
24. Where does respira7on occur? In the mitochondria
*
very
diverse;
95%
invertebrates,
5%
vertebrates
(Phylum Chordata)
25. What process is used to eliminate the cell of waste? diffusion
FYI…
prokaryote:
eukaryote:
no nucleus, no chloroplasts, has cell wall, some move
has nucleus, has many complex cell parts
plant cell:
animal cell:
plant cell:
animal cell:
has nucleus, cell wall (made of cellulose), chloroplasts
has nucleus, NO cell wall, NO chloroplast
