mitochondria
The fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane is characterized by __________.
molecules moving freely past one another
Where is the genetic information of the cell stored?
nucleus
Drag the correct description under each cell structure to identify the role it plays in the cell.
plant cell wall- strong protective structure made from cellulose fibrils
Which of these distinguishes a plant cell from an animal cell?
presence of a cell wall
One of the ways smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) differs from rough endoplasmic reticulum is that rough ER is covered by
ribosomes.
In eukaryotic cells the first step in protein synthesis is the _____.
transferring of information from DNA to messenger RNA
Can you match the structures with their descriptions?
1. DNA is the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms; it is the main constituent of chromosomes and the carrier of genetic information. RNA is used in all steps of protein synthesis and carries the genetic information of many viruses. 3. The nucleus is the most prominent membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells, and it houses most of a cell's DNA. 4. The nuclear envelope is the two-layered membrane that encases the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, separating the nucleus from the cytoplasm. 5. A protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm is called a nuclear pore. 6. The round body that sits inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell and makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA is known as the nucleolus. 7. Chromosomes are tightly coiled bundles of DNA and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells.
Drag the organelles to the appropriate bins.
Animal cells only lysosome Plant cells only chloroplast cell wall central vacuole Both animal and plant cells plasma membrane mitochondria Golgi apparatus nucleus endoplasmic reticulum cytoplasm cytoskeleton ribosomes
Antibiotic resistance is increasingly prevalent in clinically important bacterial pathogens. Which of these methods represents the most recent innovation in searching for new antibiotics to replace those that have been rendered ineffective by the spread of antibiotic resistance?
Direct cultivation and screening of natural soil bacteria within the soil itself.
Which of the following is part of the endomembrane system?
Golgi apparatus
Drag the correct label under each cell structure to identify whether it is found only in animal cells, only in plant cells, or in both types of cells. Labels can be used once or more than once.
Lysosome- animal not plant cell wall- plant not animal nucleus- both cloroplast- plant not animal ER- BOTH
What name is given to the process in which pre-mRNA is edited into mRNA?
RNA processing
Which of the following describes the function of the chloroplast?
The chloroplast converts light energy to chemical energy.
Which three statements may correctly explain why the population size increases after time point C?
The few drug-resistant bacteria in the population reproduced, quickly leading to a large drug- resistant population. Between time points C and D, drug-resistant bacteria were reproducing faster than non-drug resistant bacteria were dying. Bacteria that acquired a mutation that conferred drug- resistance had a growth advantage over non-resistant bacteria.

Can you identify the major theme illustrated by each of the following examples? If necessary, you may review the themes in Chapter 1 of your book.
- If you think of the cell as a factory, then the nucleus is its control center. Here, the master plans are stored and orders are given. Information flow - Because genes that increase resistance to cholera offer a survival advantage where the disease is common, those genes have slowly spread through the Bangladeshi population over the past 30,000 years. Evolution - Most of the living world depends on photosynthesis, which harnesses light from the sun to produce sugar molecules. Pathways that transform energy and matter - Surrounding the plasma membrane of most prokaryotic cells is a rigid cell wall, which protects the cell and helps maintain its shape.
