Biology 2201 Chapter 2 Review

Interactions of Cell Structures

Using you text and the links below, start reviewing the concepts from Chapter 2, Interactions of Cell Structures. Check the Unit Review for a full list of terms and concepts. Of most importance are questions 1-18, 21 and 27 on pages 65, 66, and 67.

Cell Review

Go to Introducing Cells to review some of the basic concepts around the cell theory

Question 1:Are there any cell organelles or structures that still confuse you? List some things you can do to help you understand.

Section 2.1 The Molecular Basis of Life (pp. 40 - 49)

Review the answers for questions 1-4, 5, 7, 9
Visit this site: How Cells Work for an explanation of proteins and enzymes and many other parts of the cell, including DNA
This site http://www.quia.com/dir/bio/ will give you some interactive activities to test your knowledge so far

Question 2:Cells divide to create new cells, essentially halving their material. How do cells replenish the supply of materials they need for all the structures and functions of the cell? List 3 main ways cells may do this.

Section 2.2 Cell Membrane Structure (pp.50 - 61)

See questions 1-18 on page 61. Do you remember the human models of the cell membrane we constructed in class?
This site http://www.usd.edu/~bgoodman/Membrane.htm gives an excellent overview of the cell membrane, how scientists came to view the cell membrane, and the different forms of transport across the membrane.

Question 3:What is the major difference between active and passive transport?
Question 4:What would happen to an animal cell if left too long in a hypertonic environment? in a hypotonic environment?

Section 2.3 Bulk Membrane Transport (pp.62-64)

See questions 1-8 on page 64
For a comprehensive look at endocytosis and exocytosis, go to http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/E/Endocytosis.html
Try this quiz: http://www.glencoe.com/qe/science.php?qi=1395

Question 6:How are endocytosis and excytosis the same? How are they different?
Question 7:List the differences between the 3 different forms of endocytosis.

There will be more to come for your review, but this should help you start making the connections between everything. Good luck!
