8th grade Midterm Study Guide 2016 Hello, 8th grade! The science midterm will include material from chapters 1 and 2 and the work we did in September on the scientific method, measurement, and naming (Scientific nomenclature—Genus species). There is also some material from notes: food webs; amoebas, paramecium, and how they eat; cilia, flagellum, and pseudopods; how to read a chemical equation and count up atoms; that pigments absorb photons and that we see the colors they do NOT absorb. A good way to study is to make sure you know the definitions of all the bolded vocabulary in your book, can understand all the figures, have memorized the organelles and their functions, and can answer the questions below. Please ask me if you have any questions! You can see me during lunch, after school, or you can email me (ccing your parents) or have your parents call or text me.

Anton von Leeuwenhoek cell wall, chloroplast A is a Golgi body. Golgi bodies package proteins and other newly formed materials and distribute them to other parts of the cell. The structures are mitochondria. Mitochondria produce most of the energy the cell needs to carry out its functions. C is the endoplasmic reticulum, which transports proteins to the Golgi bodies. D is the nucleus, which directs all of the cell’s activities. No, because it contains a nucleus and other organelles and does not have a cell wall. In A, the concentration of water outside the cells would be greater than the concentration of water inside the cells. Water would move into the cells by osmosis, causing them to swell. In B, the concentration of water outside the cells would be lower than the concentration of water inside the cells. Water would move out of the cells by osmosis, causing them to shrink. In C, the concentration of water would be the same inside and outside the cells because plasma is the normal environment for the cells. The cells would keep their normal shape. They looked like the “cells” that monks and nuns lived in. Tiny rooms. See book. Chapter 1.

See teacher Meter gram Mitochondria Chloroplasts Mitochondria A is glucose. B is oxygen. Plants and other organisms that undergo photosynthesis make their own glucose. Animals and other heterotrophs get glucose from the food they consume. Oxygen comes from the surrounding air or water. C and D are water and carbon dioxide. No, oxygen is not required for the stage of respiration that takes place in the cytoplasm. Yes, oxygen is required for the stage of respiration that takes place in mitochondria. Much more energy is released by the stage of respiration in the mitochondria than in the stage in the cytoplasm. No, you cannot tell whether the cell is a plant cell or an animal cell, since both types of cells have mitochondria and carry out respiration. Carbon dioxide from the air, water from ground, photons from sun Stomata It might close to keep water from evaporating Energy from light Sugar Water muscle Green 122. 123. 124. 125. 126. 127. 128. 129. 130. 131. 132. 133. 134. 135. 136. 137. 138. Eats food it makes Eats other things Self Golgi apparatus Endoplasmic reticulum Rough ER Cytoplasm Every few seconds 400 times as big A single hair-like structure attached to a cell membrane that helps it move Genus: Tyto Species: alba 1 is anaphase. 2 is prophase. 3 is interphase. 4 is telophase. 5 is metaphase. 1, 2, 4, and 5 represent parts of mitosis. The correct order is 3, 2, 5, 1, 4. A is a centromere, which holds the two chromatids of a chromosome together. The structures are chromatids. They contain condensed chromatin. A new nuclear membrane is forming around the chromosomes in each end of the cell. The cell membrane is beginning to pinch in around the middle of the cell. ESSAY 139. The resolution of electron microscopes is much better than that of light microscopes. This better resolution enabled scientists to examine structures inside cells in more detail. 140. The cell is an animal cell if it has a nucleus but not a cell wall. The cell is a bacterial cell if it has no nucleus. The cell is a plant cell if it has a nucleus and a cell wall. 141. Mitochondria use food to produce energy. They are found in both plant and animal cells. Chloroplasts use energy to produce food. They are found in plant cells but not in animal cells. 142. See teacher 143. During photosynthesis, plant cells use carbon dioxide and water. These substances are the waste products of respiration from plants and animals. During respiration, animal cells use oxygen, which is the waste product of photosynthesis. 144. See book 145. The series of nitrogen bases on the other side would be T-G-C-G-A-A. T always pairs with A, and G always pairs with C.
