Intro to Cells Study Guide

Cell Organelle and Cell Environment Test Study Guide
by Mr. Carrison - Gates Intermediate School, Scituate, MA

Yuck, Plant Cells! Is it true that I am made of a trillion cells? What is a trillion? What the heck is a cell? Can I eat one? Are cats made of cells? Yum, cat.......

Check out the 4 NEW study guide questions!

Check out this site for a neat online cell parts test/quiz http://www.biologycorner.com/bio1/cellquiz.html

Might also check out Tess's cool blog. Has some nice cell links and of course awesome picts for Flash the Wonder Hound.

Test Next Friday! Will cover all the parts of the cell that I tricked you into reviewing in class! So... I would know ALL the many cell organelles and what job/function they perform in the cell. You should also know the info on pages 32-41 in our NEW textbook.





1. Compare and contrast osmosis and diffusion.

2. What the heck is ACTIVE and PASSIVE transport all about?

3. What causes diffusion, that is what "powers" it and why does it happen?

4. Why are proteins often called the molecules of life?

5. Where are proteins synthesized in the cell?

6. What is the powerhouse of the cell?

7. What is my fav word? Can you explain what is is of does for the cell?

8. Do animal cells have a cell wall? Why or why not needed?

9. Yuck, what is cytoplasm?

10. List two very important jobs of the lysosome.

11. Define vacuole and list three different types.

12. Why are golgi bodies called the UPS of the cell? Why is their job so important?

13. Explain what function or job the nucleus does for the cell.

14. Do prokaryotic cells have a nucleus?

15. What kingdom are all prokaryotes?

16. What organelle performs photosynthesis?

17. What is all the hub-bub about photosynthesis? What is it? Why the big deal?

18. Can you give an analogy for all of the above mentioned organelles?

19. What is cellular hierarchy? Can you list all 5?

20. Would it be worth your time to find all the cell MCAS questions and review them?

21. What was the demo in class? It demonstrated how what worked?

22. What is the difference between a plant and animal cell?

23. Explain what cellular respiration is and why it is sooooooooo important!

24. Where does cellular respiration take place?

25. What is needed for products to perform cellular respiration?

26. What is the by-product of cellular respiration?

27. Should you take the time to review all the worksheets used in class?

28. Review Atoms - what are the 3 major parts? Do they have charges?

29. What by definition is a molecule?

30. Does the DOE MCAS web site have any questions on cells? Hum......

31. Flash thinks you should know all about the demonstrations and experiments I did in class this week. Pretty smart for such a lazy hound!

  4. IT IS NOT THE 7TH GRADERS FAULT!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Uh, actually, it was the Seventh Grade Officers' fault. Nobody nominated each other, so thus, no nomination was accepted.

  10. welll gtpd or whatever, you dont need to just lay it all on the 7th graders, it is partly your fault also, not to be rude or anything, i was not part of the typo police, but i think it is a bit mean for putting all the blame on the 7th graders.....

  13. Mr. Carrison, do you want me to bring the questions to school on Tuesday?
    Tess
    P.S. It took me soooo long to make the multiple choice, I hope they are good!!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. To all who are confused,

    I must point out that in the Typo Police Constitution, all nominations needed to be accepted by January 10. It is also the job of 7th grade officers to nominate other 7th grade officers. Only one nomination was made, but this person declined.

    Therefore, the 7th graders did not take the initiative needed in order for the Typo Police to survive.

    Signed,
    John C.

    ReplyDelete
  15. That's cuz no one really cares, John.

    Hey Mr. C!!
    OH MY GOD.
    listen up, seventh graders.
    study for this test, take good notes; the works.
    Cell organelle and cell environment is a HARD SUBJECT!!
    STUDY UNTILL IT HURTS.
    UNTILL YOU RECITE VOCABULARY WORDS AND DEFINITIONS IN YOUR SLEEP, TILL EVERY TIME SOMEONE MENTIONS THE WORD 'PLANT' YOU RECITE EVERY CELL NAME AND FUNCTION.

    Just kidding, but really. It's a tough one, so take notes.

    -Emily H, former period 4, study period 3.

    ReplyDelete
  16. ya john, stop blaming the seventh graders!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hey mr. c. I have an idea...
    I should have to sign the blog handouts!!
    What an awesome way to steal their points back!! none of 'em know me!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. for extra points, that is...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Noo, I wunna sign them....besides that would be sooo unfair if they didn't know you!!! LOL!!!
    Tess

    ReplyDelete
  20. Tess:

    Yeah, she can be cruel like that.

    And the reason she hates the typo police is because she never did anything for it, even when she was Chief.

    ReplyDelete
  21. O, well then...IDK, maybe....I got nothing!
    Tess

    P.S. But I am STILL signing the papers!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I hope that I don't have to sign, TO MANY!!!:-)

    ReplyDelete
  22. John not to be rude but seriously you really need to get a life if its now you goal to try make seventh grades feel guilty for an unsucsessful club that YOU were incharge of so its YOUR fault nobody cares enough to listen YOU need to make people WANT to listen, not be bored to death with a "mournful" speech... and FYI the only way an idea can die is if you stop trying to make it a reality, so sorry if it sounds harsh but personily I think you are stupid beyond stupid for just giving up something you worked hard for without even trying to fix it, AND then blaming it on SEVENTH GRADERS. Seriously can we act a little it more mature???

    You will NEVER guess who wrote this...

    ReplyDelete
  23. k, not butting in on anthing, but WHO-EVER wrote that about John is, really inconcederate, and really MEAN!!! Y would u even say that???

  28. Yea, that anonymous was me, Tess. Why are some so mean, the blog is supposed to be fun!!! It isn't supposed to make people feel bad, or anything like that, that's not why Mr.Carrison made the blog! I really hate seeing people being mean too other people, so just stop, okay? Enough!
    -Tess :-(

    ReplyDelete
  29. Thank You Tess!

    I agree comepletely with your philosophy.

    People just don't understand that I published my speech out of defeat, yet they continue to insult me, "kicking me while I'm down"

    ReplyDelete
  30. I agree with tess that the ideas only die... person was really mean. Why would somebody write that? R-U-D-E!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yea, I understand, why are people so mean? Can you answer that, why do some people dislike you??? What's the whole typo police thing??? Ahhh, I am so confused!!!!!!
    -Tess

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wehn is the tset??

    ReplyDelete
  33. o, idk, but i will sign ur cell papers!!!!
    tess

    ReplyDelete
  34. Well, the typo police was an organization whose job was to search Mr. Carrison's Blog for typos. We were rewarded for our efforts with points on our tests. But skeptics have been insulting us since day 1, though I don't really know why.

    J.C.

    ReplyDelete
  35. oooo, so just like I get extra points for helping out Mr. Carrison, with my blog, and making questions for the test, you got extra points for being the "typo police"??? Am I right? And also I bet they were insulting you because they were JELOUS!
    Tess

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well, it's actually a little more complicated. First of all, an officer has the option of receiving points. Also, if an officer gets points numerous times without doing any work, it's what we call "mooching" and that officer could get suspended, or even expelled.

    This is all spelled out in the Constitution of the GTPD.

    J.C.

    ReplyDelete
  37. haha! Yeah, they probably were "jealous" (spelled with an "a")

    J.C.

    ReplyDelete
  38. yea, whatever, I don't care about spelling, I was typing fast too! So I didn't even know about this typo police thing until like 2 weeks ago, so this is all big news to me!!! WOW!!!!
    -Also Mr. Carrison, I hope you like my multiple choice questions ahhh, they took me sooo long to do!!!!!!!!!
    Tess

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well, it was going on for a year.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ahhh, well, do the 8th grade teachers have any blogs???? If they did you could still spellcheck their blogs, but I guess not, I don't think they do, well why don't any 7th graders be the typo police? I don't get it!
    Tess

    ReplyDelete
  41. Mr. Carrison I think "messily" is supposed to be spelled 'measly.'

    ReplyDelete
  42. Tess-

    There are 7th grade officers. But I guess none of them wanted to be Chief...

    ReplyDelete
  43. Well, what do you do if you are cheif???
    Tess

    ReplyDelete
  44. MR CARRISON....the spider thingy creeped me out!!! i showed it to my sister melissa and she freakeddd out SO MUCH...just as mmuch as me! ugghh i was soo sccared!

    ReplyDelete
  45. To all who have questions-

    Perhaps it would be easier if I gave?showed you a copy of the Typo Police Constitution. It spells everything out.

    Thanks, Tess

    ReplyDelete
  48. Basically, I'm going to double-check the Constitution, but I think that the Typo Police should start over, with new establisment.

    In other words, the Typo Police are not yet disbanded.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Ah, what's disbanded mean, well....um..., idk, what is the typo police, EXACTLY???? give me some more details, i know you like check spelling, but who made it up? when? why?, and so on!
