Write a few sentences that explain what limits an individual cell from becoming
more complex. - ANSWER Bimolecular machinery and division of labor
The paramecium discussed in class contained an organelle called the contractile
vacuole. This is the presumed precursor of the: - ANSWER Kidney
In cell Biology what can limit the progress of science? - ANSWER Technology
True or False: In you own multicellular body, cells with different functions have
different DNA - ANSWER False
In order to examine cells which are smaller than can be detected by the human
senses what needs to be used? - ANSWER Technology
True or False: The contractile vacuole of the paramecium is possibly an
evolutionary precursor of the kidney - ANSWER True
A single celled organism: - ANSWER Has limited amount of bimolecular
machinery; must find food, shelter, mate, and reproduce
What limits the paramecium from acquiring more complex functions: - ANSWER
The paramecium's bimolecular machinery limits cell growth
True or False: In you own multicellular body, different cells in your body have a
division of labor between them - ANSWER True
Compared to bacteria which of the cell below are not responsible for finding food:
- ANSWER Lymphocyte, Macrophage, fibroblast
True or False: A cancer cell will be anchorage-dependent for growth and immortal
- ANSWER False
Comparing a single-celled eukaryotic organism with a multicellular organism such
as yourself identify the major difference - ANSWER Division of Labor
True or False: A cell that is anchorage-dependent for growth will also exhibit
contact inhibition - ANSWER True
A cell that is itself an organism must have the minimum of what needs? - ANSWER
Food, shelter, mate, reproduce
, True or False: A paramecium swims by way of using flagella - ANSWER False
True or False: A normal cell is anchorage-dependent for growth and mortal -
ANSWER True
True or False: The end of the retraction fiber touching the cell culture plate still
contain the cell equivalent of super glue - ANSWER True
True or False: It is presumed that the peroxisomes evolved in these primitive
proto-eukaryotes to remove oxygen, which was toxic to the primitive cells -
ANSWER True
After a cell is pancake shaped in a cell culture dish, the order of events that occurs
as a cell walks is: - ANSWER Filopodia, lamellipodia, cell muscle, retraction fiber
Why is it important to know the limitations of technology? - ANSWER It is
important to know the limitations of technology because knowing those
limitations allows for new growth and development within technology.
True or False: The ancient earth did not contain much oxygen - ANSWER True
True or False: A normal cell is mortal and anchorage dependent - ANSWER Ture
True or False: Loss of the cell wall was required for the endomembrane system
theory - ANSWER True
True or False: TEM provides a thin, 2D section of the object being studied -
ANSWER True
True or False: Fluorescence microscopy is a form of light microscopy - ANSWER
True
True or False: When cancer cells are crowded by surrounding cells, the cancer cells
become spherical and they can still go through cell division - ANSWER True
What are the limitations of cell culture technique? - ANSWER 1) Not all cells
grow in culture
2) Cells loose their histocyte - and 3D structure of the tissue is challenged
