Level 1 Chapter 7 Review Guide – Cells
Organize your notes in the following order:
1. Homework assignments from iBook
2. Notes packet with the following:
a. Microscopes – general info, compound light, STM, SEM & TEM
b. The cellular level of organization – organelles, cell theory
c. Prokaryotic v. eukaryotic cells, endosymbiotic theory
d. Eukaryotic cells, all cell organelles
i. Plasma membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, cytosol, nucleus, chromatin,
nucleoplasm, nucleolus, nuclear envelope, nuclear pores
ii. Ribosomes
iii. Endomembrane system, ER, rough & smooth ER, golgi apparatus,
vacuoles & vesicles
iv. Lysosomes
v. Energy-related organelles, chloroplasts, mitochondria
vi. Cytoskeleton, microfilaments, microtubules, centrioles, cilia & flagella
e. Plant vs. animal cells
3. Microscope lab
4. Cell diagram – plant & animal
5. Cell analogies
6. Plant vs. animal cell lab
Test questions will be based on the following main ideas:
 Be able to compare the types of microscopes in terms of
o Magnification & resolving power, (not specific numbers, but which is best for
each)
o How they work (in general)
o Image produced (3D or flat)
o Any limitations of their use
 Be able to identify the parts of the cell theory
 Be able to explain the differences and similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cells
 Be able to explain the endosymbiotic theory, and be able to list/explain evidence for it.
 Be able to accurately label a diagram of a plant and animal cell.
 Be able to explain the functions of each of the following cell structures in detail. If the
organelle has a link to another, be prepared to explain that link.
o Plasma membrane
o Cell wall
o Cytoplasm
o Cytosol
o Nucleus (include chromatin, nucleoplasm, nucleolus, nuclear envelope, nuclear
pores)
o Ribosomes
o ER – smooth and rough
o Golgi apparatus

o Vacuoles
o Lysosomes
o Chloroplasts (be familiar with its structure within)
o Mitochondria (be familiar with its structure within)
o Centrioles (be familiar with its structure within)
o Cilia and flagella (be familiar with its structure within)
Be able to explain how plant and animal cells are structurally different, and why those
differences exist.
