Organic Compounds and Cells Test Review
My test is on: _________________________
1.
Know the parts and functions of each organelle in the cell. Study the Cell Notes
2. Write the definition of organic compound.
chemical compound that contains carbon atoms usually bonded to at least one hydrogen atom
3. What element must be in an organic compound?
Carbon
4. List the four types of organic compounds and their function.
a. Carbohydrates- gives off a great deal of energy
b. Lipids- Store energy , Form biological membranes, Chemical messengers
c. Proteins-help carry out chemical reactions, pump small molecules in and out of cells, ability of cells to
move
d. Nucleic Acids- store and transmit the genetic information that is responsible for life
5. Beside carbon, list the other elements that make up the organic compounds.
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, and Sulfur
6. How is the Vacuole of a plant cell different than one of an animal cell?
There is 1 large vacuole in a plant cell and many small vacuoles in an animal cell.
7. List the three components of the Cell Theory and the scientist who helped developed each principle.
a. All living things are made of one or more cells- Hooke
b. The cell is the smallest unit of life-Schleiden and Schwann
c. All new cells come from preexisting cells- Virchow
8. Define:
-Heterotroph: organisms that cannot make their own food
-Autotroph: organisms that make their own food through the process of photosynthesis
9.
