For each of the diagram below label each part and identify its function: D F G C A B H K E I J L M P R N Q O S N A. Vacuole (large central vacuole means this is a plant cell) storage of food, water, enzymes B. Chloroplast (thylakoids also accepted as answer) chemical factories & storage house for food & colour pigment. Contains chlorophyll which allows photosynthesis to occur. C. Nucleus contains genetic material of the cell (in form of chromosomes), control centre of the cell. D. Endoplasmic Reticulum used to transport materials within the cell. Rough ER contains ribosomes & produces proteins, while Smooth ER has no ribosomes & produces lipids. E. Cell Wall (as this is a plant cell) rigid, protective barrier for plant cells F. Mitochondria power plant of the cell. Cellular respiration occurs here. Sugar & oxygen converted to Energy.

Left atrium pumps oxygen-rich blood (from the lung) into the left ventricle L. Centrioles small protein bodies in animal cells which help to give direction during cell division. M. Spindle fibers protein structures that guide chromosomes during cell division. N. Chromosomes contain genetic materials of the cell. (Also acceptable answer is Metaphase plate where chromosomes will line up during Metaphase) O. Alveoli tiny sacs with thin walls, surrounded by capillaries. This is where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen will diffuse out of alveoli into the capillaries. The opposite occurs for carbon dioxide. CO 2 will diffuse out of the capillaries into alveoli. P. Left Bronchus carry air coming from trachea to the left lung Q. Bronchioles bronchi will branch off into smaller branches called bronchioles, which has no cartilage rings R. Neurons nerve cells which conduct electrical signals in the body S. Myelin sheath fatty covering at the end of neurons that prevent misdirection of impulses. Short Answers: 1. Explain what arteries and veins are. What are the differences between them? Arteries and veins are blood vessels of our circulatory systems, enabling transport of materials throughout the body. Arteries are thick-walled, high pressure blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood away from the heart to be distributed to rest of body. While veins are thin-walled, low pressure blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood from the rest of the body to the heart. Veins have valves to prevent back flow of blood. 2. List the 4 components of blood, their composition within the blood and their characteristics. Plasma : fluid portion of the blood, contains 90% water & makes up about 55% of blood s volume Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes): transport O 2 and CO 2 to the bloodstream, contains Hemoglobin ironcontaining pigment that allows blood to carry O 2 & gives the RED colour, makes up 45% of blood volume White Blood Cells (Leukocytes): the only blood cells with a nucleus, colourless, makes up < 1% of blood volume, destroy invading microbes by phagocytosis Blood platelets : has a lifespan of only 7 10 days, initiates blood clotting
3. Explain how the liver and gall bladder work together in our digestive system. Liver makes bile which are then secreted into the gallbladder. The gallbladder will store the bile until it is needed. When we eat food containing fats, once the fats reached the small intestine, gallbladder will secrete bile to the small intestine. Bile works by physically breaking down large fat molecules to smaller sized ones. 4. In diabetic patients, what enzyme is either produced too much or too little? What is the organ that produce this enzyme? Insulin. Pancreas produces insulin. 5. Explain the events that happen during: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase & Cytokinesis. See your notes on Cell Cycle. 6. What is stem cell? What are the 2 types of stem cells we discussed in class? Explain the pros and cons of both types. Stem Cell : Undifferentiated cell that can divide to form specialized cells. Embryonic Stem Cells Adult Stem Cells Unspecialized Specialized Can be trained to develop into different types of cells Are not capable of developing into tissue that they are not already specialized for. During development unspecialized stem cells are plentiful Unspecialized stem cells are easily cultured and easy keep unspecialized It is hard to find stem cells in mature tissue Adult stem cells are hard to culture and are hard to keep from becoming specialized Can become mutated 7. Provide an outline of the pathway of food, starting from when it enters the mouth cavity and when it exits through the anus. Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus 8. What are the 4 chambers of the heart? Explain the flow of blood starting from when blood enters the heart and ending when it left the heart through aorta. Right & Left Atria, Right & Left Ventricles. 9. What is alveoli? Where is it located? What is its function? Alveoli are tiny sacs with thin walls, surrounded by capillaries. Located in the lungs. Alveoli is where gas exchange occurs. 10. Explain the gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) that occurs at the alveoli in the lungs. Oxygen will diffuse out of alveoli into the capillaries. The opposite occurs for carbon dioxide. CO 2 will diffuse out of the capillaries into alveoli
11. List 3 organs that can be donated by a living donor. What are some of the risks for both the donor and the patients in organ donation & transplantation process? Lobe of liver, lobe of lung, one kidney. Donor: surgery carries risks, decreased functioning due to removal of parts of organs. Patient: Immune rejection, surgery carries risks. 12. What is osteoporosis? What can individuals do to decrease their risk of osteoporosis? When bones become porous, making them brittle and easy to break. Mostly affecting older people, especially older women. Need to get sufficient intake of calcium & vitamin D in their diet, along with physical exercise. 13. What is the central nervous system? What is the peripheral nervous system? Nervous system senses the environment and coordinate responses. CNS consists of brain and spinal cord. Peripheral nervous system consists of 3 categories of peripheral nerves: Nerves that control voluntary muscles Nerves that send signals from sensory organs to the brain Nerves that regulate involuntary functions, ex: breathing, heartbeat. 14. Explain the role of xylem and phloem with regards to transport in plants. 15. What are thylakoids? Where would you find thylakoids? Why are they important? 16.

What are some of the concerns about GMO plants? 20. In our breathing lab - which gas act as a signal to the brain in order to get breathing rhythm back on? 21.
