Directions: In this module, we will explore the basic units of life, their structure, function, and energy processes. To do this, you are going to explore a variety of resources, including your text, videos, and websites, to find answers to questions provided. The Bio-Quest is your guide to discovery in our modules and serves to help you navigate the material and focus on the key elements, big concepts, and enduring ideas surrounding each topic. Part one of the quest is your study guide to help you navigate the materials. It is NOT graded. Part two is your graded assignment for the module and will be submitted for 25 points as assigned by the grading rubric for Assignments.

Cell History and Theory
2. Briefly describe each person's contribution to our knowledge of cells. a. Robert Hooke b. Anton van Leeuvenhoek c. Robert Brown d. Albrecht von Roelliker e. Carl Heinrich Braun f. Earnest Everett Just g. Lynn Margulis
3. What are the three postulates of the cell theory and who is credited with each part?
Cell Structure and Function
4. What things do all cells have in common?
5. What is the role of the cell membrane? How does its structure enable the cell to survive?
6. Complete the chart comparing and contrasting prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
7. Compare the cell to something in your life (house, work, body, etc). What items would the organelles represent in that situation? Write an analogy for the organelles in the space provided, telling what role the organelle would play, and how the function of the organelle and the function of the role are alike (Example: The nucleus would be like the human brain because it controls the cell and the brain controls the body)
a. Nucleus
b. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
c. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
d. Golgi Body (Golgi Apparatus)
e. Ribosomes
f. Mitchondria
g. Chloroplasts
h. Cell Membrane
i. Cell Wall
j. Central Vacuole
k. Lysosome
Cell Transport
8. Compare and contrast passive and active transport. (focus on particle type, size, energy, and two examples of each)
9. Complete the chart on Tonicity:
Tonicity
Description
Which means there is more water:

Associate Program Material Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The three stages of this process are 1) Glycolysis: the cytoplasm 2) Krebs Cycle/The Citric Acid Cycle:…
B) Only 60% of gas produced energy of electricity which was sent to the power grid and the remaining energy was lost in the form of heat due to the blades having to overcome air resistance and also the friction of the turbines. C) Wind energy is less efficient (even when running at their optimum wind speed) because There's friction between all the moving parts, the generator or alternator aren't 100% efficient, and the energy is lost at the rotor blade friction and drag, gearbox losses, generator…

Biology Study Guide for Test on Monday Energy- Ability to do work. Work is a force to move an object. 2 Types of Energy Potential (resting energy)- is the energy of the movement. Kinetic (movement energy)- is energy of an object in motion. Energy of motion, an object that has motion whether it’s vertical or horizontal motions, it has Kinetic motion. Laws of Thermodynamics * Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. * Energy can be transformed from one to another but in the…
CHAPTER 2: From Cells to Systems Important topics in cell biology: * Cell theory: 1. All organisms are composed of cells and cell products 2. The cell is the simplest structural and functional form of life 3. An organism’s structure and all of its functions are ultimately due to the activities of cells 4. All cells arise from pre-existing cells 5. All cells share fundamental similarities and metabolic mechanisms * Cell structure: * About 210 different…
1 * Cells are highly complex and organized * Cells are constructed from a hierarchy of molecular organization * Cells possess a genetic program * Organisms are built according to information stored in a collection of genes * Hereditary information defines a species * Genes * Store information * Blue prints for constructing cellular material * Directions for running cellular activities * Program for making more cells * The…

Cell Structure Plant cells Ribosomes The ribosomes are the site of PROTEINsynthesis Controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell such as water and oxygen Chloroplasts absorb light energy in photosynthesis The cytoplasm is where the chemical reactions take place in the cell e.ge anaerobic respiration The nucleus controls the activities of the cell it also contains the genetic information Vacuole contains cell sap and helps to support the cell v mitocondria The cell wall is made…
Kinetic energy potential energy (first law or thermodynamics) cannot be created or destroyed can converted from one form to another and transferred between objects or system. Energy tends to disperse spontaneously (second law thermodynamics) ENTROPY is a measure of how much the energy of a system is dispersed. METABOLIC PATHWAY; Cells build, convert, and dispose of substances in enzyme-mediated reaction, cells store and retrieve free energy by making and breaking chemical bonds in metabolic reaction…
