CELLS: Unit Review

Front

What is a eukaryote?

Back

A eukaryote is a type of cell that has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include plant and animal cells.

Front

What organelle in plant cells uses solar energy to create glucose?

Back

The chloroplast is the organelle that uses solar energy to create food in the form of glucose.

Front

Which organelle is primarily responsible for cell division?

Back

The centrosome is primarily responsible for organizing microtubules during cell division.

Front

What is cytosol (cytoplasm)?

Back

Cytosol, or cytoplasm, is the fluid portion of the cell that contains organelles and is the site of many metabolic processes.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are organelles that generate ATP energy through the process of cellular respiration.

Front

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

What is the role of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the cytoskeleton?

Back

The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers that provides structural support and helps in cell movement.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
