Study online at https://quizlet.com/_jj7ake

1. Define cell. The basic unit of life (structure & function) in the human body
(also, the building blocks of tissues)

2. What determines the struc- the function of the cell in the body
ture of a cell?

3. Define the following process- The division of body cells in order for the body to grow, develop
es and state where each & repair damaged cells
process occurs within the
body. - Mitosis

4. Define the following process- The production of gametes (sex cells) - eggs (ova) & sperm (this
es and state where each process only occurs in the reproductive organs known as gonads
process occurs within the (ovaries and testes)
body. - Meiosis

5. State what will happen to a Cell loses water/shrivels
cell placed into each of the
following solutions and ex-
plain WHY. - Hypertonic

6. State what will happen to a cell gains water/swells or bursts
cell placed into each of the
following solutions and ex-
plain WHY. - Hypotonic

7. State what will happen to a cell remains the same
cell placed into each of the
following solutions and ex-
plain WHY. - isotonic

8. If the concentration of solute cell gains water/swells or bursts b/c it is in a hypotonic solution
is lower outside of the cell,

what will happen to the cell
and why?

9. Give the function of each of control center of the cell (contains the genetic material/DNA)
the following organelles. -
nucleus

10. Give the function of each of allows things to enter and leave the cell
the following organelles. -
cell membrane

11. Give the function of each of produce proteins which serve as the molecular workers within
the following organelles. - ri- the cell
bosomes

12. Give the function of each of produce ATP (energy) for the cell by the process of cellular
the following organelles. - respiration
mitochondria

13. Give the function of each of the highway system of the cell that moves molecules within the
the following organelles. - ER cell

14. What is the difference be- Active requires energy to move things into and out of the cell
tween passive and active and passive does not
transport?

15. What is osmosis? The movement of water across a membrane

16. List the levels in the organi-
zation of life from simplest
to most complex (atom to or-
ganism).

17. What is cancer? uncontrolled cell growth

18. What are the four main types Lines the surfaces of the body and its organs, protection
of tissues found in the hu-
man body and what are the
functions of each? - epithelial
tissue

19. What are the four main types Movement
of tissues found in the hu-
man body and what are the
functions of each? - muscle
tissue

20. What are the four main types Unites the parts of the body (blood, bone,cartilage,fat)
of tissues found in the hu-
man body and what are the
functions of each? - connec-
tive tissue

21. What are the four main types Transmits messages through the body (brain,spinal cord,
of tissues found in the hu- nerves)
man body and what are the
functions of each? - nervous
tissue

22. Draw these epithelial tissues, diffusion
then describe what they are
good at due to their struc-
tures. - simple squamous


23. Draw these epithelial tissues, cilia sweep/ move substances
then describe what they are
