3.1

The Cellular Level of Organization

pages 66 - 67

1. The macromolecules, such as carbohydrates and nucleic acids, discussed in the last chapter are not alive, yet the

(a)

(b)

cell is alive. The cell is the structural

and functional

unit

(c)

of an organism. It is the smallest unit capable of performing all the functions necessary for life

Concluded that all cells come from preexisting cells.

Stated that plants are composed of cells.

Stated that animals are made up of living units called cells.

First used the term "cell" to refer to the honeycomb

structure of cork observed in the microscope.

3. The cell theory is a basic theory of biology which states

? All organisms are made up of basic living units called cells

? All cells come only from previously existing cells

4. Complete the following table.

Cube side length

Surface Area (6s2)

Volume (l x w x h)

SA:V Ratio

1 cm

6 (12) = 6

13 = 1

6:1

2 cm

6 (22) = 24

23 = 8

24 : 8 = 3 : 1

3 cm

6 (32) = 54

33 = 27

54 : 27 = 2 : 1

4 cm

6 (42) = 96

43 = 64

96 : 64 = 1.5 : 1

5. Using the information from the table above, explain why humans are made up of trillions of small cells instead

of just big one. Amount of SA affects the ability to get materials in and out of the cell. Also, larger cells need

more nutrients and produce more wastes BUT have a low SA:V ratio. This is inadequate to sustain the needs of

the cell.

6. Why are there some cells that are much larger, even visible to the human eye, such as a

chicken egg?

These types of cells are not actively metabolizing like other cells. Once fertilized, their

metabolism kicks in and they divide internally into smaller and smaller cells.

7. Give an example of a modification utilized by cells that specialize in absorption.

Columnar epithelial cells along intestine surface are highly folded into microvilli to

increase SA

8. All cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane

consisting of a phospholipid

(c)

bilayer

embedded with protein

molecules.

9. Describe the composition of cytoplasm. Water, salts, dissolved organic molecules

10. Define organelle: Any well-defined subcellular structure that performs a particular function for the cell

11. Identify the organelles on the following diagram. Use Figure 3.3 on page 70 to help.

nucleolus

nucleus

chromatin

vesicle or lysosome

smooth ER

centrosome

(or centrioles)

Golgi apparatus

cytoskeleton

rough ER

mitochondria

plasma membrane

cytoplasm

ribosome

12. Match the functions of the organelles to their correct descriptions.

G. processing, packaging and distribution of proteins and lipids

F

J. storage of genetic information; synthesis of DNA and RNAhe

Cytoskeleton

pages 77 - 80

13. Briefly describe the specific parts of the nucleus

?

chromatin: DNA & associated proteins (¡°loose¡± DNA)

?

chromosomes: condensed DNA (just before cell division)

?

nucleoplasm: the cytoplasm of the nucleus

?

nucleolus: rRNA production and formation of ribosome subunits

?

nuclear envelope: double membrane around nucleus

? nuclear pores: allows proteins, ribosome subunits, etc to enter and exit the nucleus

14. Where in the cell are ribosomes found? Floating in cytoplasm (can be polyribosomes) and attached to rough ER

15. The endomembrane system consists of the:

?

nuclear envelope

?

endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough)

?

Golgi apparatus

? vesicles

16. How does the Golgi apparatus known whether the proteins made at the rough ER belong inside the cell or are

to be transported out of the cell? specific molecular tags like ¡°postal codes¡±

17. Name three functions of lysosomes. (1) digest materials that

come into the cell (e.g. breakdown polymers) (2) immune

system aid (e.g. destroy pathogens) (3) autodigestion (e.g.

breaking down old or unneeded cell parts)

18. Use Figure 3.7 on page 74 to identify the missing labels in the diagram below.

plasma membrane

secretory vesicle

incoming vesicle

Golgi apparatus

lysosome

transport vesicle

transport vesicle

rough ER

smooth ER

19. Where in the body do we have cells that contain high numbers of peroxisomes? liver

20. Contrast animal and plant cells (based on organelles or specific organelle functions).

i. lysosomes

ii. centrosome / centrioles

iii. peroxisomes: break down fat, produce bile salts

* cilia & flagella rare for plants

?
