Know all of the information below. Use this as a guide to make sure you have covered all topics that could come
up on your exam.
2. Know all of the components of a cell membrane and their functions. Be able to draw and label a diagram of
these structures.
3. List and describe the function of the proteins that are found in the membrane.
4. Be able to give the function of all major organelles in a eukaryotic cell. Refer to your organelle list. Make sure to
prove to yourself that you know them, don’t just read your definitions on the cell intro over and over.
5. List and describe all the components of a prokaryotic cell and be sure to know the functions of each component.
6. Distinguish between the 2 main types of cells. Identify and illustrate how one of these two categories can be
further sub-divided. Know example organisms in each category.
7. Describe the accomplishments of the major scientists the contributed to cell theory.
8. Name and explain the 3 components of cell theory.
9. Be able to describe iso, hyper, and hypo in relation to solutions. Be able to identify what solution can be
described by which prefix. Draw illustrations to clearly show a cell with each of the prefixes when discussing
water.
10. Be able to determine which way solute and/or water will move in any given scenario.
11. Describe the types of passive transport and the relationship to the concentration gradient.
12. Be able to describe spontaneous generation, and the scientists and experiment that discredit this idea.
13. Be able to describe active transport and explain the differences and similarities between this and passive
transport.
14. Name and describe each type of vesicle movement.
15. Be able to explain why cells are so small and how the ratio of surface area to volume changes as the cell grows.
16. Be able to list the organization of life from largest to smallest. (review from previous unit)
17. If given a scenario of placing a cell in a type of solution, be able to say which way water would move and what
would happen to the cell.
18. Compare and contrast plant-like and animal-like cells using a minimum 5 traits.
19. Define homeostasis and explain how it applies to this unit.
20. Be able to draw and label the 2 energy organelles in detail.
21. Explain why Cell Theory still very important to biology today.
22. Be able to describe the types of movement for single celled organisms.
23. Describe the fluid mosaic model.
24. Know the components of a solution and give an example.
25. Be able to create analogies to describe a concentration gradient. Include active and passive transport in your
explanations.
26. Know what is being referred to when we say “a cell’s volume” and “surface area” and how they are related as a
cell grows and what problems this would cause. Explain how the shape of a cell can reduce these problems and
give an example.
