Legend says that a faraway celldom forged a sword that together with the power of the cells (5th, 6th, 7th, and review) could defeat any evil. Gather the gems to assemble the ultimate weapon and defeat the dragon hiding in the dungeon.

Thank goodness you’ve come! We need your help!You need to find the 4 Cell Gems so that the sword has enough power and then defeat the fearsome dragon that is terrorizing our people…
Help us, only a person like you can do it!
No thank you, I’ll pass
Of course!
Ouch! I thought you were cool ... What will become of us!
Hehehe, I was kidding. Ahem, of course I’ll help you
I knew you would not fail me! Thanks a lot! Here is the holy sword. Now gather the Cell Gems to complete it and defeat the dragon.

Importance of sugars They're what gives cells the ability to use energy They're also used as building blocks to be used in cell walls, membranes, and more. PolysaccharidesUse a specific type of linkage, when 2 sugars join together they made whats called a glycosidic linkage- Cellulose- provides structural support
- Chitin- provides structural support
- Peptidoglycan- provides structural support
- Starch- provides energy (plants)
- Glycogen- provides energy (animals)
- Carbohydrates are molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
- Monosaccharides: one sugar molecule
- Oligosaccharides: a few sugars linked together (polymer)
- Polysaccharides: long chains of sugar (polymer)
- Carbohydrates perform a crucial function in cell identification. They attach to proteins and lipids on the cell surface, forming glycoproteins and glycolipids (name-tags). These sugar tags help recognize each other and communicate/send signals.
Define Oligosacchride
Small Polymer(less sugar)
Large Polymer(more sugar)
Sugars serve as building blocks & give chemical energy to cells
False
True
What type of linkages do polysaccharides have?
Genetic
Glycosidic
How many structural polysaccharides are there?
What is apart of Cell Identity?
Just Glycoproteins
Glycoproteins & Glycolipids

- What Lipids Are Made Of
- Lipids are mostly made of carbon and hydrogen, which makes them nonpolar. Because of this, they don’t mix with water.
- Why Lipids Don’t Mix with Water
- Their nonpolar bonds make them insoluble in water, just like how oil doesn’t mix with water.
- Phospholipids Build Membranes
- Phospholipids are amphipathic, meaning they have a water-loving head and water-fearing tails. This lets them form the cell membrane.
- Double Bonds Make Membranes Flexible
- Fatty acid tails with double bonds bend, keeping lipids from packing tightly. This makes membranes more fluid and flexible.
- Cholesterol Adds Stability
- Cholesterol fits between lipids and tightens the membrane, reducing permeability and helping it stay stable.
- Osmosis Moves Water
- In osmosis, water moves toward the side with a higher concentration of solute (such as salt) to equalize the concentration.
- Proteins Help Transport
- Channel and carrier proteins act like doors, moving materials in and out of the cell.
1. What are lipids mostly made of?
Oxygen and nitrogen
Carbon and hydrogen
Sugars and phosphates
Amino acids and proteins
What makes lipids insoluble in water?
They are made of ionic bonds
They contain mostly nonpolar bonds
They dissolve easily in polar solvents
They are covered in water molecules
How does the presence of double bonds in fatty acid tails influence membrane properties?
It makes the membrane thicker and less flexible
It causes lipids to break down faster
It increases membrane permeability and fluidity
It makes the membrane impermeable to all substances
What is the effect of cholesterol on membrane structure?
It reduces permeability by packing lipids more tightly
It makes the membrane more fluid and leaky
It causes the membrane to dissolve in water
It prevents phospholipids from forming a bilayer
Why are phospholipids called amphipathic molecules?
They contain only hydrophobic parts
They can dissolve completely in water
They repel both water and lipids
They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions

- Flagella
- Prokaryotic cells move using flagella, which are long, whip-like tails that spin to help the cell swim through liquids. They act like tiny motors pushing the cell forward.
- Golgi Apparatus
- The Golgi apparatus is like the cell’s shipping center. The trans side is the part that “ships” proteins out to other organelles or to the cell surface after they’ve been processed.
- Nuclear Pores
- Nuclear pores are small openings in the nuclear envelope that control what goes in and out of the nucleus, like RNA and proteins, while keeping DNA protected.
- Cytokinesis
- Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division — it’s when the cytoplasm divides, forming two separate cells after the nucleus has split.
- Cytoskeleton
- The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers that gives the cell its shape, keeps everything in place, and helps parts of the cell move when needed.
What helps a prokerotic cell to propell itself?
Flagelle
Flimbriae
Cytosol
What part of the Golgi aparatus "ships" proteins out to other organelles or cell surface.
Rough ER
Cis
Trans
Smooth ER
How do molecules enter the nucleus?
Diffusion
Osmosis
Nuclear pores
Define Cytokinesis
Groups of actin filaments grow
causing bulges in plasma membrane
A dividing cytoplasm
during cell division

and organelles
Define what a Cytoskeleton is.
