Zusammenfassung der Ressource

Frage 1

Frage
Choose the statement which BEST describes a cell.
Antworten
  • The simplest collection of matter which is alive.
  • One of the structures which make up a living organism.
  • A little living thing.

Frage 2

Frage
Select the statements about cells that are CORRECT.
Antworten
  • All organisms are made of cells.
  • Cells can make up multicellular organisms.
  • All cells are identical.
  • Cells come in many different types.

Frage 3

Frage
The 3 Domains of living things are:
Antworten
  • Eukarya, Bacteria, Archaea
  • Eukarya, Bacteria, Prokarya
  • Bacteria, Archaea, Prokarya
  • Eukarya, Bacteria, Protists

Frage 4

Frage
The Kingdoms of Domain Eukarya are:
Antworten
  • Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista
  • Animalia, Plants, Fungi, Protists
  • Animals, Plants, Fungi
  • Animalia, Plantae, Fungi

Frage 5

Frage
Bacteria and Archaea are [blank_start]prokaryotes[blank_end].
Antworten
  • prokaryotic
  • eukaryotic
  • protists

Frage 6

Frage
Most plant and animal cells are between [blank_start]10-100μm[blank_end] in diameter. Bacteria is typically between [blank_start]1-5μm[blank_end] in diameter.
Antworten
  • 10-100μm
  • 1-5μm

Frage 7

Frage
1mm = ?
Antworten
  • 1000μm
  • 100μm
  • 10μm

Frage 8

Frage
Which statement about the endosymbiont theory is INCORRECT?
Antworten
  • Mitochondria and plastids as we know them may have evolved from aerobic cells being engulfed by larger anaerobic cells, and this is known as the endosymbiont theory.
  • The endosymbiont theory is supported by the fact that mitochondria and plastids carry some of their own genes within themselves.
  • The endosymbiont theory suggests that organelles with double membranes evolved from bacteria to insert into eukaryotic cells.

Frage 9

Frage
Cells are limited to their sizes due to the ratio of surface area to volume of the cell. (s.a./V = smaller for smaller cells.) A small ratio means greater efficiency of exchange between environments.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 10

Frage
[blank_start]Microscopes[blank_end] allow us to see cells. There are three important parameters in microscopy: - [blank_start]Magnification[blank_end], which is the [blank_start]ratio[blank_end] of the image compared to the actual size - [blank_start]Resolution[blank_end], which is the [blank_start]clarity[blank_end] of the image ("resolving of two points") - [blank_start]Contrast[blank_end], the difference between light and dark areas of image
Antworten
  • Microscopes
  • Magnification
  • ratio
  • clarity
  • Resolution
  • Contrast

Frage 11

Frage
Light Microscopy (LM) and Electron Microscopy (EM) are the two types of microscopy used to look at cells.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 12

Frage
Electron microscopy lets you look at live cells.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 13

Frage
Light microscopy is the only imaging technique that lets you look at live cells.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 14

Frage
Select the statements about electron microscopy that are CORRECT.
Antworten
  • EM uses electrons to "slice" through a very thin cross section of a cell and look at it.
  • Resolution is INVERSELY proportional to wavelength. Therefore as an electron microscopes particles have very low wavelengths, the images produced have very high resolutions.
  • Resolution is PROPORTIONAL to wavelength. Since an electron microscope's particles have long wavelengths of light, they therefore produce high resolution pictures.

Frage 15

Frage
Electron microscopes come in [blank_start]two[blank_end] varieties. Firstly, [blank_start]scanning electron microscopes[blank_end]. Specimens coated in a thin film of gold are scanned and [blank_start]electrons[blank_end] that bounce back are used to create a 3D image of the specimen's surface. (These images are grey scale, only show us the [blank_start]surface[blank_end] of cells, and must be artificially/digitally coloured.) Secondly, [blank_start]transmission electron microscopy[blank_end]. This does not [blank_start]reflect[blank_end] electrons, but passes them [blank_start]through[blank_end] the specimen to produce an image of the cell's [blank_start]internal[blank_end] structure. Scattered electrons are collected by electromagnets to form an image. Again, the specimen must be stained with heavy metals.
Antworten
  • two
  • scanning electron microscopes
  • transmission electron microscopy
  • electrons
  • surface
  • reflect
  • through
  • internal

Frage 16

Frage

Antworten
  • Lysosomes
  • Centrosomes
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum
  • Ribosomes

Frage 17

Frage
Which of the following is are structures found in plant cells but NOT in animal cells?
Antworten
  • Vacuole
  • Cell Wall
  • Plasmodesmata
  • Golgi
