1. What are the three aspects of the (unified) cell theory?2. What are three features or structures that both prokaryotic AND eukaryotic cells have in common?3. What are two ways that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are different from each other?4. Sketch a prokaryotic cell and label the cell wall, cell membrane, nucleoid region, ribosomes, and DNA on your sketch.5. Place the following in order from smallest to largest (some might be equal in size – be sure to indicate that as well!):Protein, animal cell, bacteria, virus, mitochondria, plant cell.6. Review plant cells and animal cells and the organelles and structures that they each contain. Find at least SIX ways in which plant and animal cells are the same (organelles and structures they have in common).7. What are three things you might observe inside a plant cell that is not inside an animal cell?8. A major portion of this chapter and of the exam for this chapter covers the function of each organelle or part of a cell (see sections 4.3 and 4.4). A function is basically the job of the organelle (or what does it do, or why is it important to the cell).Write the function for EACH of the following organelles and structures.– Cell Wall:– Cytoplasm:– Cytosol:– Plasma membrane:– Cilia:– Cytoskeleton:– Flagella:– Nucleus:– Nucleolus:– Nuclear envelope:– Nuclear pore:– Chromatin (DNA / chromosomes):– Rough ER:– Smooth ER:– Golgi Apparatus:– Vesicles:– Lysosome:– Mitochondria:– Peroxisome:– Chloroplast:– Central Vacuole:– Ribosomes:– Vesicles:9. The endomembrane system is usually one of the more difficult concepts in this chapter. View the animation with the book or the mini-lecture on this. Now sketch a cell and include the following parts of the endomembrane system: Rough ER, Ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, Transport vesicle, Plasma membrane.10. Imagine a protein will be made at a ribosome on the rough ER and it will eventually be excreted out of the cell. Describe the path that this protein will take and what might happen to it at each stop along the endomembrane system from the previous question.11. What is the main function/s of extra cellular matrix?12. There are four main types of cell-cell connections described in this chapter. Review the information and answer the questions below.a. What are the three types of connections you might find between animal cells?b. Which type allows communication?c. Which type would you find in the bladder where a watertight seal is needed?d. Which time join cells in one spot to maintain sheet-like formations in organs and tissues such as skin and musclee. What type of cell to cell connection would find in plant cells and what is their function?

Assignment: Case Study AnalysisExplain the following related to this case study:  Anemia and the different kinds of anemia (i.e., micro and macrocytic).Why a patient would need a splenectomy after a diagnosis of ITP.In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.Case Study:A 14-year-old female is brought to the urgent care by her mother, who states that the girl has had an abnormal number of bruises and “funny looking red splotches” on her legs. These bruises were first noticed about 2 weeks ago and are not related to trauma. PMH not remarkable and she takes no medications. The mother does state the girl is recovering from a “bad case of mono” and was on bedrest at home for the past 3 weeks. The girl noticed that her gums were slightly bleeding when she brushed her teeth that morning.Labs at urgent care demonstrated normal hgb and hct with normal WBC differential. Platelet count of 100,000/mm3 was the only abnormal finding. The staff also noticed that the venipuncture site oozed for a few minutes after pressure was released. The doctor at urgent care referred the patient and her mother to the ED for a complete work-up of the low platelet count, including a peripheral blood smear for suspected immune thrombocytopenia purpura.

For this assignment, you will find an article pertaining to food culture and some sort of change that is occurring today.  You must choose a food culture outside of the United States.  You will then write a paper (2 pages minimum; double-spaced) that includes:Summarizes the articleDiscusses the internal and external pressure that have caused the change in food cultureYour conclusionsYou may need to seek out other sources that dig deeper into the topic and answer all the rubric points.  All sources must be cited in APA format in both a list at the end of the paper, and in the body of the paperArticles can be found in journals, good-quality magazines, and newspapers.  If you have a question about the quality of the source, please send me a message to confirm that you can use it.Here’s an example of internal and external pressures for a ficticious topic/article.You find an article about rising saffron precies in India.  External pressures (those outside of the country) might include decreased demand from other countries and global climate changes that have lowered crop yields.  Internal pressures (those inside the country) might include a decreasing number of saffron growers, civil war, or issues with infrastructure such as destroyed bridges or roads.
