Lecture 5 A Tour of the Cell
1. What are the two categories of cells in life?
4. All cells have an outer layer called the ____. This outer layer is composed of what
biological molecule?
5. In the diagram below fill in the name of the major components of eukaryotic cells. State the
function of each.
6. Identify whether cellular components are in plant cells, animal cells, or both.

Lecture 6 The Working Cell
1. Define kinetic and potential energy, and be able to identify each.
3. The potential energy in cells is converted into what molecule? This molecule drives
chemical reactions by transferring energy from one reaction to the next.
4. What types of molecules can freely pass through the cellular membrane?
Which requires a transport protein to form a channel for passage across the membrane?
6. Large molecules are transported across the plasma membrane of a cell by endocytosis
and exocytosis. How are these processes different?

Lectures 7 and 8 Photosynthesis
1. Below is a diagram of a plant cell. What are the 3 features that distinguish it from an
animal cell? What is the purpose of these 3 features?
2. What is the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis? What are the reactants? What
are the products? Where does the energy come from, and what is it converted to throughout
this process?

5. Photosynthesis is divided into two parts, light dependent and light independent reactions.
What are the products of the first part of photosynthesis?
What are the products of the second part of photosynthesis?
1. What is the basic chemical reaction that represents cellular respiration? What are the
reactants? What are the products? What is the purpose of this metabolic process?
2. Cellular respiration takes place in which organelle? Is this organelle present in the cells of
all organisms?

transport. When is carbon dioxide released during this process? When is oxygen used?
What part of cellular respiration generates the most ATP?
5. During electron transport potential energy is converted into ATP. How is the potential
energy created in the mitochondria? How is that potential energy converted into ATP?
