Cell Structure and Function

Category 1

Wins for the Day

We Will…

Know that cells are the basic structures of all
living things with specialized parts that perform
specific functions and that viruses are different
from cells.

I Will…

Compare and contrast prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells, including scientific explanations
for cellular complexity.

Multiple Choice

Some students used information they gathered from lab investigations to prepare a table. They entered the table in their lab notebooks.

Which of these correctly identifies the two cells described in the table?

Cell 1 is eukaryotic, and Cell 2 is prokaryotic.

Cell 1 is prokaryotic, and Cell 2 is eukaryotic.

Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 are eukaryotic.

Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 are prokaryotic

Wins for the Day

We Will…

Know that cells are the basic structures of all
living things with specialized parts that perform
specific functions and that viruses are different
from cells.

I Will…

Investigate and explain cellular processes,
including homeostasis and transport of
molecules.

(3 to 4 questions)

Its the body’s way of maintaining
balance to ensure it can function
and survive

communicate

Cell transport in which materials travel from
high to low concentration; no energy required

Cell transport in which material travel from low
to high concentration; energy required

osmosis

true

water

Osmosis

Simple Diffusion

Facilitated Diffusion

High

Low

Sodium potassium pump

against

low

Exocytosis

Cell uses the plasma membrane
to engulf larger material

remove

Multiple Choice

The cellular process known as the sodium-potassium pump was discovered in the 1950s by Jens Christian Skou, a Danish scientist. This process is a form of active transport that moves three sodium ions to the outside of a cell for every two potassium ions that it moves into the cell. Which of these best explains why energy is needed for active transport?

Ions are negatively charged.

Ions are attached to large proteins.

Ions are trapped inside the plasma membrane.

Ions are moved against the concentration gradient.

Open Ended

Explain one difference between the processes of diffusion and osmosis.

(Use complete sentences)

"One difference between the processes of diffusion and osmosis is..."

Wins for the Day

We Will…

Know that cells are the basic structures of all
living things with specialized parts that perform
specific functions and that viruses are different

I Will…

Compare the structures of viruses to cells,
describe viral reproduction, and describe the
role of viruses in causing diseases such as HIV
and influenza.

(2 to 3 questions)

RNA

All structures of locomotion for movement

protein

RNA

nucleus

Host cell’s mechanism

Viral proteins and RNA

glycoproteins

Inside it

No, viruses do not use energy

Symptoms

No Symptoms

Lysogenic

Sneezing, coughing, fever, rash, blisters, discharge

Multiple Choice

A diagram of an HIV infection is shown.

Which conclusion about the HIV infection of a host cell is best supported by the diagram?

It takes place outside of living cells.

It relies on the host cell to reproduce.

It involves the process of meiosis.

It requires carbon dioxide.

Open Ended
