Document Summary

Cells are the fundamental units of life. Simplest collection of matter that can be alive. All cells are related by their descent from earlier cells. Can differ substantially from one another but still share some common features. Plasma membrane, semifluid substance called cytosol, chromosomes, ribosomes. Dna in a unbound region called the nucleoid. Dna in a nucleus that is bounded by a double membrane. Cytoplasm in the region between the plasma membrane and nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger than prokaryotic cells. Genetic instructions are mostly housed in the nucleus and carried out by the ribosomes. Ribosomes use the information stored in the dna to to make proteins. All eukaryotic cells have internal membranes that divide the cell into compartments. Mitochondria and chloroplasts change energy from one form to another. Sites of cellular respiration, a metabolic process that uses oxygen to generate. Found in plants and algae, are the sites of photosynthesis.

1,Match the descriptions to the type of transport.

- A. B. C.	Water enters a cell because it is hypertonic compared to the extracellular environment, increasing its turgor pressure
- A. B. C.	Water enters guard cells because the guard cells are hypertonic compared to the surrounding cells
- A. B. C.	Potassium ions are pumped into guard cells
- A. B. C.	The motor cells of a Venus fly trap are hypotonic compared to surrounding cells, causing water to leave the motor cells
- A. B. C.	Sugar is loaded into the phloem

A.	Both active and passive transport
B.	Passive Transport
C.	Active transport

2,Describe what is wrong with the following statement and explain why:

All prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain plasma membrane, nucleus, ribosomes, organelles, cytoplasm, and cell walls.

What is short-distance transport?

	a,	The movement of solutes from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration
		b,The movement of water, nutrients, and other substances between cells
c,		The movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
d,		The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration.

What terms describe the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of high water concentration towards a region of low water concentration (and high solute concentration.)

What is found in the proptoplasm?

Cell wall, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, nucleus, and other cell organelles

Plasmodesmata, cell wall, and plasma membrane

Cell wall, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane

Cytoplasm, nucleus, and other cell organelles

The channels that allow nutrients and protoplasm to pass between plant cells are called _________________.

What happens when a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution?

Water will enter the plant cell and the plasma membrane will swell and cell lysis will occur

Water will leave the plant cell and the plasma membrane will pull away from the cell and plasmolysis will occur

Water will enter the plant cell and the plasma membrane will swell and push against the cell wall

Water will leave the plant cell and the plant cell will lose turgor pressure, causing the plant to wilt

________________ transport uses cellular energy.

What molecules make plasma cell membranes hydrophilic on the outside and hydrophobic on the inside?

What type of cells do plants have?

		Bacterial
		Archaeic
		Eukaryotic
		Prokaryotic

Can you guys please help me fix this

Instructions: Review the content in Chapter 3 of the textbook and prepare a table or diagram that compares the components and characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Be sure to include both (1)similarities- characteristics in common and (2) differences- characteristics unique to each cell type.

My project:

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Similarities between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic :

- Both are made of cells.

- Cell is covered by a lipid bilayer membrane

- Both reproduce and multiply for grows

- Their genetic material is either DND or RNA

Differences:

Prokaryote eukaryote

absent	nucleus	present
smaller	ribosome	larger
Fold and condense prokaryotic dna	dna	Wrap their dna around proteins called histones
absent	Membrane bound organelle	present
absent	chloroplast	present
Absent	mitochondria	present

My teachers notes :

Both cell types have cytoplasm.

Be specific and include a list of membrane bound organelles in eukaryotic cells.ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿

Please answer the following three essay questions.

All living cells, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, have thefollowing cell structures: plasma membrane, cytosol, ribosomes, andat least one chromosome. Choose any one of these. Describe itsbasic structure (including molecular composition) as well as thefunction. Explain why a cell could not exist without thefunction(s) performed by this cell structure.
Cells can be categorized as either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.Only bacterial cells are prokaryotic. For question two, answer anyone of the following comparison questions. Be sure to compare bothmolecular (physical) structure and function in each answer.
1. Compare the nucleoid area (prokaryotic) to a nucleus(eukaryotic)? How do they differ; how are they similar?
2. Compare the bacterial flagellum (prokaryotic) to an animal cellflagellum (eukaryotic)? How do they differ; how are theysimilar?
3. Compare a bacterial cell wall (prokaryotic) to a plant cellwall (eukaryotic)? How do they differ; how are they similar?
Eukaryotic cells (in plants, animals, fungi, and algae) arebigger than prokaryotic (bacterial) cells. This bigger size allowseukaryotic cells to have more structural complexity.

Choose any one of the following eukaryotic cell structures for ashort essay:

Mitochondrion
Cytoskeleton
Golgi apparatus
Endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome
Chloroplast (found only in photosynthetic cells)

In your answer, describe its basic structure (includingmolecular composition) as well as the function. Why is the functionimportant to keeping the cell alive?
Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference listand in-text citations for references used throughout theassignment.
