Identify a picture of a cell as either plant or animal.
Describe the differences between plant and animal organelles.
Identify different examples of organic macromolecules.
Describe the structure and function of the plasma membrane / cell membrane.
Explain the chemical equation for photosynthesis and cellular respiration and know where each
process occurs in the cell (i.e. which organelle).
Describe the difference between cellular respiration and fermentation in terms of being aerobic /
anaerobic.
Explain what happens in each of the four parts of the cell cycle: G1, S, G2, and M.
Describe, sequence, and draw each phase of mitosis.
Identify the differences between plant and animal cells during mitosis.
Analyze why cells divide through mitosis.
Evaluate how disruptions in the cell cycle can lead to cancer.
Identify specific causes and treatments for cancer.
Explain the products of meiosis and analyze why cells go through meiosis.

Short Answer Questions (20 points):
You will be required to answer ALL of the following questions on the day of the test.
1. How do cells function? Provide at least two examples (4 points)
2. What is the importance of having several types of cells? (3 points)
3. What processes are involved in cellular division (mitosis) and reduction (meiosis)? In other
words, describe all parts of mitosis and meiosis. (7 points)
4. Compare and contrast cellular respiration with photosynthesis. You may write your answer
in sentences or by making a Venn Diagram (overlapping circles). Include 2 points of
comparison and 2 unique traits for each process. (6 points)
