AP Biology: Unit 2 Review (CED)

Front

Why can eukaryotic cells be larger than prokaryotic cells?

Back

Membrane-bound organelles compartmentalize intracellular processes.

Front

What happens to the SA:V ratio as cells increase in size?

Back

As cells increase in size, the SA:V ratio decreases.

Front

Which type of molecule can easily pass through the cell membrane?

Back

Steroid Hormone.

Front

What are the characteristics of a membrane-bound protein?

Back

Hydrophilic R group exterior cell & hydrophobic R group interior membrane.

Front

What is the primary function of rough ER?

Back

Rough ER compartmentalizes the cell.

Front

What is the primary function of smooth ER?

Back

Smooth ER functions in detoxification and lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the role of membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells?

Back

They compartmentalize intracellular processes.

Front

How does cell size affect metabolic efficiency?

Back

Smaller cells have a higher SA:V ratio, enhancing metabolic efficiency.

Front

What type of molecules are typically unable to pass through the cell membrane easily?

Back

Charged ions and large polar molecules.

Front

What is the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules?

Back

Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water, while hydrophobic molecules repel water.
