Did I learn it? What do cells look like?

1. Of all the membranes found in different cells, what membrane is common to all
living cells?
2. What is the difference between cytoplasm and protoplasm?
3. If you were given some bacterial cells, animal cells and plant cells, how would you
distinguish between them? (provide at least two supporting features for each group,
but you may want to find more)

4. What is unique about bacterial chromosome?

5. Name three cellular structures you find in both bacterial and eukaryotic cells:
6. What are plasmids?
7. How are plasmids cause the problem of antibiotic resistant bacteria in hospitals?
8. Can you draw the general structure of ribosomes?
What are they made of?
What do ribosomes do?

9. What is the unique feature you will find in a photosynthetic bacterium?

10. Are bacteria able to move?
11. What is the function of flagella?
What is the function of fimbriae?
12. Do the structure and mode of action of eukaryotic flagella different from that of
bacterial flagella?
Support your answer.
13. Describe these three things, including where you would find them, and what they
do;
(Understand the difference between these three very similar sounding terms)
nucleoid:
nucleus:
nucleolus:
14. What defines an eukaryotic cell?
15. How many membranes surround the nucleus?

What is inside the nucleus?

16. How would you describe the term organelle?
17. Why are some ER rough? What important cellular process happens on rough ER?
18. Identify a structural difference and a functional difference between rough ER and
smooth ER:
19. How is Golgi apparatus related to rough ER?
What is the function of Golgi apparatus?
20. When an Amoeba eats a food particle, into which cellular compartment would it
be sent for
digestion?
21. What are the three cellular organelles (plants or animal) that have two bilayer
membranes
around them?
22. Why are peroxisomes so important when it comes to burning fat in your body?
23. What are the three types of cytoskeleton? (list from smallest to largest)
__________________________________

24. Which two of these three types help with movement in cells?
25. If there were no cytoskeleton inside cells, what would be the two main problems
cells face?
26. Name two cellular components that are found in plant cells but not in animal
cells:
27. Lysosomes in animal cells are most comparable to _____________________ in plant
cells.
28. What is the cellular structure that is found only in animal cells but not in plant
cells?
Try to find it using the cell pictures in your book.
29. If a plant cell wants to store some harmful material such as nicotine, it would be
sent to which cellular compartment?

30. What is described by the theory of endosymbiosis?

31. According to this theory, which cellular component evolved first; mitochondria or
chloroplast?
32. If you were asked to provide supporting evidence for the theory of
endosymbiosis for is
accuracy, what are the facts you would highlight?
