Although they give answers in the form of questions on the TV show, you do not need to do this. You do need to write your answers on your game board! Keep track of your score … Add points for correct answers!

Cell Transport Cell Specialization Cell MembraneCell Classification Cell Structure & Function

The diffusion of water $100

Osmosis Back to Game

The internal balance a cell or oranism must maintain $200

Back to Game homeostasis

$300 Explain what happens during active transport

Back to Game Molecules move from low concentration to high and cells use energy

$400 Explain why it would be harmful to a saltwater fish to be placed into freshwater

Back to Game Placed in a hypotonic environment (high % of water,) water would flow into the cells and they may burst

$500 A cell containing 20% solutes is placed in an environment with 25% solutes. In terms of osmosis, explain what happens to the cell

Back to Game Since there is a higher % of water in the cell than outside, water moves out of the cell causing it to shrink

100 All the cells in your body would have the same amount of Mitochondria, Ribosomes, genetic material, or lysosomes

Back to Game Genetic material

$200 Place the following in order from largest to smallest Organelle, protein, organism and cell

Back to Game Protein, Organelle, cell, organism

$300 The basic unit of all living things

Back to Game cells

$400 Give the function of the macrophage in the body and describe the organelles that allow it to perform this function

Back to Game Fights infection Endocytosis forms vesicles engulfing bacteria. The vesicle fuses with a lysosome which breaks down the bacteria. The vesicle then release the waste through exocytosis

$500 Describe the function of a neuron and the organelle necessary to perform the function

Back to Game Vesicles containing neurotransmitters are released by exocytosis. This causes ions to be pumped through the transport proteins of the 2 nd cell carrying the impulse

$100 Provide energy for the cell

Back to Game mitochondria

$200 Provide cell with storage space

Back to Game vacuole

$300 Function of DNA

Back to Game Instructions to make proteins

$400 Identify the brown strucrue in these cells

Back to Game nucleus

$500 Identify the cell, its function and the organelles needed for it to perform that job

Back to Game Sperm cell (male reproductive cell), has flagella for movement with many mitochondria to provide energy

$100 Name this structure and tell which end is hydrophilic

Back to Game Phospholipid bilayer

$200 The cell membrane is made mostly of what two molecules

Back to Game Phospholipids & proteins

$300 Which end is repels water?

Back to Game The tails

$400 Which type of molecules move through this structure?

Back to Game Polar molecules

$500 Why is the structure of the cell membrane described the mosaic model?

Back to Game Has properties of liquids that allow some molecules to move (dissolve) through the cell membrane

$100 Name two structures that plant cells have which anial cells do not

Back to Game Cell wall & chloroplasts

$200 Are these plant or animal cells? Explain how you know

Back to Game No cell wall visible, round shape, no chloroplasts

$300 Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic? Explain how you know.

Back to Game Prokaryotic, no nucleus

$400 Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic? Explain how you know.

Back to Game Exocytosis

$500 Plant cell or Animal Cell Explain how you know

Plant Back to Game

How many points do you want to risk?

Explain one factor that determines whether a substance can pass through the cell membrane

Makes blood hypertonic, removing water from your cells causing you to die of dehydration

And the winner is …
