ECQ REFLECTION
Directions: Compare these RIGHT answers with your answers. Highlight the parts
of your answers that match with the correct answer. If any part of your answers
are wrong, scratch out the parts of your answers that are wrong (draw a thin line)
and write the correct answers somewhere there is space. After you are done
writing, highlight the new correct parts of the answers. Write small enough to fit all
of your answers.
ECQ ANSWERS FOR SECTION 7.1
1.
a) Prokaryotic cells are cells that are very simple. These cells don’t have
membrane bound structures called organelles. They are the only cell in an
organism thus creating unicellular organisms. They are alive, meaning, they
undergo cellular respiration, grow and reproduce. Prokaryotic cells are simple
because they can only have a few chemical reactions in them. They don’t
have separate areas (organelles) for the chemical reactions to happen. An
example of a prokaryotic cell, as seen in the lab, is bacteria.
b) Eukaryotic cells are cells that are more complex. These cells have
membrane bound structures called organelles. They are part of many
other cells thus creating a multicellular organism. They are alive,
meaning, they undergo cellular respiration, grow and reproduce.
Eukaryotic cells are complex because they can have many chemical
reactions in them going on at the same time. They have separate areas
(organelles) for the chemical reactions to happen. An example of
eukaryotic cells, as observed in the lab, are cheek cells and onion cells.
c) Viruses are very different from prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Viruses
are non-living particles. They are not living because they are not cells, they
don’t carry out respiration, grow or develop. All they do is replicate (which
means they can make copies of themselves) with the help of living cells that
are called host cells. The structure of viruses are also different from cells.
They have an envelope of lipids on the outside, a capsid made of protein and
nucleic acids inside their inner core. Viruses are very different from cells.
2)
a) Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are considered “living” cells. These cells are
considered living because they carry out respiration (which means the cells helps
the organism to breathe), they grow and reproduce.
b) Viruses are not considered “living”. These are considered non-living particles.
Viruses are not considered living because they do not carry out respiration (which
means that they don’t breathe), they don’t grow and they do not reproduce. They
don’t make proteins.
