1. How Does A Cell Become Differentiated?
1. How does a cell become differentiated? A cell becomes differentiated by using only the DNA that it needs.
2. Give an example of 2 differentiated cells. Two examples of differentiated cells are lysosomes and mitochondria. Lysosomes are small so they can move throughout the cell effectively. Mitochondria have a lot of surface area to make more energy
3. (Essay) What does it mean to be specialized? Explain how the structure of the cell determines its function. Give at least 3 examples. Being specialized means that the cell or organelles structure is suited specifically for its function. Three examples of this are mitochondria, lysosomes, and the plasma membrane. Mitochondria have a lot of surface area so they can create more energy. Lysosomes …show more content…
What is a stem cell? A stem cell is an unspecialized cell that can become any other specialized cell.
5. Explain the types of stem cells. Two types of stem cells are pluripotent and multipotent. An example of a pluripotent stem cell is an embryonic cell. These stem cells can become any other type of cell in the body. An example of a multipotent stem cell is an adult stem cell. These cells have the ability to become multiple types of cells, but cannot become any cell in the body.
6. How might stem cell research be used to benefit society? Stem cell research could be used to possibly cure diseases by creating needed organs and blood. It could also be used to learn more about these diseases so we can understand them better.
7. What 3 organelles are found in an animal but not in a plant? What is their function? Three organelles found in an animal, but not a plant cell are lysosomes, the centriole, and the contractile vacuole. Lysosomes clean the cell. The centriole provides structure for the cell. The contractile vacuole is smaller than a central vacuole and is used to regulate …show more content…
Name two ways the cell can communicate. Two ways that the cell can communicate are through neurotransmitters and hormones.
12. How are cells organized (from smallest to largest)? Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
13. Explain the Cell Theory. The Cell Theory is a theory that states all living things are made of cells.
14. Name two things Robert Hooke did to advance science. Robert Hooke determined that cork, as well as all other living organisms, are made up box like structures called cells. He also invented a new microscope which led to the ones that we use today.
15. What is the difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote? Give an example of each. A prokaryote has no nucleus, while a eukaryote does. An example of a prokaryote is bacteria. An example of a single celled eukaryote is a paramecium. An example of a multi-celled eukaryote is an animal cell.
16. Give three examples of single celled eukaryotes. Three examples of single celled eukaryotes are paramecium, amoeba, and euglena.
17. What features help a single celled eukaryote function? One of the biggest things that allow single celled eukaryotes to function is flagellum. These are thin structures on the outside of the cell, which allow it to move. They also have the ability to reproduce asexually, which makes reproduction much
