32. Start with the scanning power objective. Use the coarse adjustment to find the image in the eyepiece.
Use the fine adjustment to fine tune the image. Increase the power of the objective lenses without
touching the coarse objective knob. You can fine tune using the fine adjustment knob each time the
objective power is increased.
33. nucleus; prokaryotes
34. prokaryotes; eukaryotes
35. Animal Cell; Plant Cell
A) Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum—makes proteins and sends them to the Golgi apparatus.
(ribosomes are attached)
B) Cytoplasm—liquid matrix of the cell suspending all the organelles
C) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum—makes lipids and sends them to the Golgi apparatus.
(ribosomes are not attached)
D) Nucleolus—makes ribosomes
E) Nucleus—control cell functions; chromosomes located here
F) Mitochondria—provides most energy used by the cell by breaking down food to create ATP
G) Golgi Apparatus-- receives proteins from the ER and sends them to specific parts of the cell
and body
H) Ribosome—makes proteins
I) Cell Membrane—controls what enters and leaves the cell
Plant Cell
J) Cell wall—provides protection and support for the cell
K) Nucleus—control cell functions; houses chromosomes
L) Cell membrane—controls what enters and leaves the cell
M) Endoplasmic Reticulum—makes proteins and sends them to the Golgi apparatus
N) Chloroplast—captures sun energy and stores energy in glucose (food)
O) Vacuole—storage site for water and other nutrients used by the cell
36. chloroplasts, cell wall and a large central vacuole
37. centrioles
38. It allows some things to cross but restricts other things
39. maintaining a stable internal environment
40. a. lipids: have a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail; water resistant barrier
b. proteins: act as passageways for large and charged particles
c. carbohydrates: act like chemical ID tags for other cells
41. The heads are hydrophilic and love water the tails are hydrophobic and hate water. The tails sandwich
themselves in the middle so they are not in constant contact with water.

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
47. 6H2O + 6CO2 + Light Energy  C6H12O6 + 6O2
48. Chloroplast
49. C6H12O6 + 6O2  6H2O + 6CO2 + Chemical Energy (in the form of ATP)
50. Mitochondria
51. stored, usable
52. They both involve the use of the same elements and compounds (oxygen, sugar, water, and carbon
dioxide) and they both result in the transformation of energy.The reactants of each are the products of
the other. The energy source for photosynthesis is light energy and the energy source of respiration is
chemical energy.
53. D. Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.
54. Absorb all wavelengths except for green. It reflects green light so you see green light.
55. Glycolysis is the process in which one molecule of glucose (C 6H12O6) is broken in half, producing two
3 carbon molecules of pyruvic acid (pyruvate) It uses 2 ATP molecules but 4 ATP molecules are
created. Net gain: 2 ATP. The Krebs Cycle breaks down pyruvic acid from glycolysis into carbon
dioxide (CO2) releasing energy as ATP, NADH, and FADH2; 2 ATP are produced. In the Electron
Transport Chain, the energy from electrons that is stored in NADHand FADH2 is transferred between
electron carrier molecules and is used to make ATP; O2, NADH, and FADH2 are used and ATP, H2O,
and 32 ATP are produced.
56. Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport chain;
57. Fermentation
58. Alcoholic; Lactic acid
Differentiate glucose and ATP and know when the cell uses each.
59. ATP, glucose

62. Energy is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate
Mitosis and Meiosis
63. a. Interphase - G1 (Cell growth), S (DNA Replication), G2 (Preparation for mitosis); b. Cell Division/M
Phase – mitosis and cytokinesis
64. Nucleus; Cytoplasm
65.
1. Prophase- Chromatin condenses to produce chromosomes, centrioles separate, spindle
Forms 2. Metaphase- Chromosomes line up across the center of the cell, chromosomes
connected to the spindle fiber at the centromere 3. Anaphase- Sister chromatids separate into
individual chromosomes and move apart 4. Telophase - Chromosomes gather at opposite ends
of the cell and two nuclear envelopes form
