What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?
Click to flip
The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and controls the cell's activities by regulating gene expression.
Click to flip
Describe the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Click to flip
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Click to flip
What is the role of the mitochondria?
Click to flip
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
Click to flip
Explain the function of ribosomes.
Click to flip
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, reading RNA to create proteins.
Click to flip
What are the three main components of the cell theory?
Click to flip
1) All living things are composed of cells. 2) The cell is the basic unit of life. 3) All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Click to flip
Name two main types of tissues in animals.
Click to flip
Two main types of tissues in animals are epithelial tissue and connective tissue.
Click to flip
What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?
Click to flip
Epithelial tissue forms a protective covering and is involved in absorption, secretion, and sensation.
Click to flip
How do you differentiate between the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Click to flip
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes attached, aiding in protein synthesis, whereas the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
Click to flip
What is the role of the plasma membrane?
Click to flip
The plasma membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell and provides protection and structure.
Click to flip
Identify the organ involved in oxygen exchange in the respiratory system.
Click to flip
The lungs are the primary organs involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the respiratory system.
Click to flip
What distinguishes plant cells from animal cells structurally?
Click to flip
Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles, which are absent in animal cells.
Click to flip
What is the function of the digestive system?
Click to flip
The digestive system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates waste from the body.
Click to flip
Describe the role of the circulatory system.
Click to flip
The circulatory system transports nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to cells and removes waste products and carbon dioxide.
Click to flip
What is the main function of nervous tissue?
Click to flip
Nervous tissue is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses and processing information in the brain and nervous system.
Click to flip
Name two types of cells and provide an example of each type.
Click to flip
Prokaryotic cells (e.g., bacteria) and eukaryotic cells (e.g., animal cells).
Click to flip
Explain the role of lysosomes.
Click to flip
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
Click to flip
What organ is primarily responsible for detoxification in the human body?
Click to flip
The liver is primarily responsible for detoxification in the human body.
Click to flip
What are the four major types of tissues in the human body?
Click to flip
The four major types are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
Click to flip
What structure within the plant cell is responsible for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.
Click to flip
Which organ system includes glands that secrete hormones?
Click to flip
The endocrine system includes glands that secrete hormones, regulating various bodily functions.
