Your body is made up of trillions of cells that perform all the functions you need to
survive. Which other kinds of organisms are composed of cells? : All organisms are
composed of cells.
Several kinds of specialized cells work together to create the sense of hearing.
Hair-shaped cells sense vibrations, and nerve cells send signals to the brain.
Structural cells hold the hair cells in place. No matter their specialty, which
functions must all cells perform to survive? : conducting nerve signals and
obtaiting energy
Issam and Yahya are partners in a mystery lab. The boys have a compound light
microscope and several unlabeled slides. Their task is to find out everything they
can about the samples on the slides. Issam puts a slide on the microscope stage
and focuses the lenses on the sample. He can see that the sample is made up of
tiny cells.
Even without knowing anything else about the cells he sees, what can Issam
reasonably conclude about them? : The cells help an organism to fight off
illnesses.
Issam wishes he could magnify the cells even more so he could see more details.
He suggests, “If we had an electron microscope, we could see all of the cells inside
these cells, and even the cells inside those smaller cells!” Yahya disagrees with
Issam's thinking. What is wrong with Issam’s suggestion? : Cells are the basic unit
of life, and they do not have more cells inside them.
Yahya looks into the microscope and sees that Issam has done a good job of
focusing on the sample, but the cells are still too small to see much detail. Issam
looks again at the microscope and figures out a way to see the cells much better.
Predict how Issam can improve the view of the sample. : He can switch the
objective lens from 4x to 40x to see the cells larger

Which of the following is a sac-like structure that store food, wastes and water? :
Vacuoles
Which of the following cell organelles receives the proteins made and released by
the ER and then condenses, modifies, packs and releases them? Golgi complex
Which of the following is the small rod shaped structure that helps releases
energy from food? Mitochondrion
Which of the following gives all cells their shape, maintains theirs sizes and
protects the internal structures inside ? Cell membrane
Which of the following organelles act as the digestive system (getting rid of waste
etc) within the cell? Lysosomes
1.3
“Cell Eating” or “Cell Drinking”- whereby cells ingest the particles through the cell
membrane. endocytosis
The movement of particles without the use of energy- from high to low
concentrations. diffusion
Sarah added two drops of blue food colouring to 2 beakers of water. She later
finds that the water in the beaker is all pale blue. She recognizes that the process
of ____________________________has caused the dye to spread evenly
throughout the water. diffusion
Endocytosis and exocytosis are similar in that both processes involve the.
movement of large particles across a cell membrane.
Transport that involves the use of no energy by the cell. (includes two types).
passive transport
Endocytosis is often described as “cell eating” because the cell membrane takes
particles into the cell by engulfing the particles. Since exocytosis is the reverse
process (whereby the particles leave or exit the cell) it could be described as. “cell
pooping”
1.5
As a plant carries out photosynthesis, which of the following would not occur
during stage 1 of the process? Oxygen is released as waste.
Glucose
Complete the following equation. What are the two missing materials (one
reactant and one product)- in order?
Water; Glucose
Where do plants get the carbon needed to make glucose molecules during the
process of photosynthesis? from the air
The purpose of cellular respiration is.Glucose must be broken down into usable
energy
Which of the following is the complete chemical equation for cellular respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy
The organelle(s) that makes/gives the reactants for cellular respiration is…The
cellular organelle that the process of photosynthesis occurs in is ?Chloroplasts and
mitochondria
Which of the following organisms depend on the process of cellular respiration for
survival?Chloroplasts
In addition to carbon dioxide, which of the following would you expect to be given
off as a waste product from performing cellular respiration. All organisms that
break down glucose for food; including plants and animals
Which statement is true for both photosynthesis and cellular respiration? They
both occur in the mitochondria
Animal cell:
