MONDAY, MAY 9, 2011. What are the advantages of being

multicellular?   What are the differences between

mitosis and meiosis?

MONDAY, MAY 9, 2011.1. What are the advantages of being

multicellular? Organisms can grow larger, cells can do

special jobs, reduced surface to volume ratio

 What are the differences between mitosis

and meiosis? Mitosis—produces two nuclei Meiosis—produces four different cells

TUESDAY, MAY 10,2011. List the parts of the cell theory.

In which part of the cell is DNA found?

TUESDAY, MAY 10,2011. List the parts of the cell theory. 1. All cells come from other cells2. All living things are made of one or more

cells3. All of an organism's life functions occur

within cells. 4. Cells contain the hereditary information

(DNA) necessary for cell functionsIn which part of the cell is DNA found? DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic

cells, and in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells (which have no nucleus).

WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 2011.What part of the cell contains chlorophyll? Which part of the cell breaks down food to

make ATP? In which type of cells and where do you

find a cell wall?

WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 2011.What part of the cell contains chlorophyll?The chloroplast Which part of the cell breaks down food to

make ATP? The mitochondria In which type of cells and where do you

find a cell wall? Plant cells; the cell wall surrounds the cell

membrane and provides rigid structure (support).

THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2011.What are the differences between

prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?  List the major differences between plant

and animal cells.  

THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2011.What are the differences between prokaryotic and

eukaryotic cells? Prokaryotic- No nucleus, no membrane covered

organelles.

List the major differences between plant and animal cells.

Plants have cell wallsPlants make their own food (photosynthesis)Plants have chloroplastsAnimals have Lysosomes (contains chemicals that

break down food particles and worn-out cell parts)  

FRIDAY, MAY 13, 2011. List the major differences between

asexual and sexual reproduction.   How many chromosomes are in a normal

human body cell?

How many chromosomes are in a normal human sex cell?

 

FRIDAY, MAY 13, 2011.List the major differences between

asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction produces exact

replicas of the parentSexual reproduction produces offspring

with ½ of their chromosomes from each parent.

How many chromosomes are in a normal human body cell? 46 chromosomes

How many chromosomes are in a normal human sex cell? 23 chromosomes
