Scatter: Science- Cells

List the essential properties of life.
Self-preservation (staying alive), Self-regulation (control of life processes), Self-organization (forming, grouping, repairing body cells), Self-reproduction (making new life of the same kind).
Who suggested spontaneous generation?
Aristotle.
What does not involve the union of sex cells?
Asexual reproduction.
A person who studies cells and their structures is called...
A cytologist.
What's the function of the nucleus?
It controls all the activities of the cell and contains the genes(DNA).
What involves the union of an egg and sperm?
Sexual reproduction.
What are the stages of mitosis?
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.
What is an offspring called when it contains one dominant gene and one recessive gene?
A hybrid.
What is the fusion of two cells, one from each parent, that occurs during sexual reproduction?
Meiosis.
What is one difference between meiosis and mitosis?
During meiosis DNA is exchanged but during mitosis it's not.
Describe interphase.
The cell is carrying out its life functions and the DNA duplicates.
Describe prophase.
The chromatins coil up and condense into units called chromosomes. The centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell.
Describe metaphase.
The chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell. Then the duplicate chromosomes separate.
Describe anaphase.
The microtubules shorten, pulling the chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell.
Describe telophase.
The duplicate chromosomes are now on opposite sides of the cell and a nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes. The cell divides forming two daughter cells.
Identify 4 structures in an animal cell.
Mitochondria- Make food and energy. Nucleus- Controls activities of cell. Cell membrane- Actively regulates what enters and leaves cell. Cytoskeleton- Maintains shape of cell.
Identify 4 structures in a plant cell.
Cell wall- A protective barrier for the cell. Chloroplast- Convert light energy to food (photosynthesis). Golgi apparatus- Packages macromolecules for transport elswhere in the cell.Vacuole- Sac containing large amount of liquid.
Cell membrane
Covers entire cell. Holds cell together. Actively regulates what enters and leaves cell.
Nucleus
Central mass of cell. Controls activities of cell and contains genes.
Cytoplasm
Sticky substance holding parts of cell together.
Mitochondrion
The powerhouse of the cell. Where food energy is made in animal cell.
Ribosome
Tiny structures that manufacture proteins.
Cell wall
Thin layer consisting of cellulose. Outside cell membrane.
Chloroplast
Photosynthesis takes place. Semi-liquid traps light energy and converts it to chemical energy for the manufacture of food.
Vacuole
Sacs containing large quantities of water.
