Bio 101 tutorial questions

1. State the cell theories


i. All living organisms are made up of cells or cell
ii. Cell is the structural and functional unit of a living organisms or things
iii. New cells are made from the pre-existing cells by cell division or all other cells are made or
produced by other living cells.
2. Mention the scientists that discovered and contribute to the discovery of cell.
i. Robert Hooke discovered honey comb like structure under a compound microscope and coined
it (cell), he was the first person/ scientist to perform an experiment on a living thing in 1665.
ii. Felix Dujardin: A french scientist discovered that the cell have a content under a much
improved microscope then named it sarcode later named it protoplasm (Nucleus&the cytoplasm)
(1835).
iii. Mathias Schleiden : A German Botanist (dealing with plants) perform an extensive study on
plant and discovered that plants are composed of cells (1838)
iv. Theodore Schwann: In 1839, A German Zoologist made an extensive study on a bit of animal
cell and discovered that animals were composed of cells.
3. Mention 3 structures in plants cell and 2 functions each.
i. Cell wall: * it gives rigidity (i.e ability to change shape) to the cell and the plant as a whole *it
allows free passage of materials.
ii. Cell membrane (plasma membrane) *This regulates the movement of materials within the cell
iii. Mitochondria : *they serve as the power house of the cell *it protects the cytoplasm(i.e the
organelles in the cell) *it help to code the synthesis of proteins in the mitochondria membranes.
4. Similarities between plant and animal cells
-Both posses cytoplasm
-Both possess cell membrane (plasma membrane)
-Both have nucleus, Golgi bodies, Mitochondria, Nucleolus, Nuclear membrane, etc.
5. Differentiate between plant and animal cell
i. Plant cell.
-chloroplast is present.
-cell wall is present
-Food is stored as starch granules
-Large permanent central vacuole is present.

ii. Animal cell


-chloroplast is absent
-cell wall is absent
-Food is stored as glycogen and fat
-Vacuole usually absent but if present are small and temporary.
6. Forms in which cell exist and one example each
i. As single and free living organism e.g amoeba, paramecium, Euglena and chlamydomonas
ii. As a colony e.g volvox and Eudorina
iii. Filament e.g spirogyra
iv. Part of living organisms e.g
7. Differentiate between colonial & Filamentous organisms
i. In colonials identical cells form a round mass while in Filamentous organisms identical cells
form end to end 🔚.
ii. There is division of labor in colonial organism while in Filamentous organisms there is no
division of labor.
8. Examples of cells and a brief note on each
-skincell
-Neuron cell (nerve cell)
-Blood cell (white&Red blood cell)
-Muscle cell (Mycote)

tutorial question under reproduction


1 Asexuality reproduction
It's a is a type of reproduction in which only one parent is involved.
2. Organism may break into two or more pieces and each piece can then develop into a new
individual organisms e.g spirogyra is fragmentation
3. Budding is produced as an outgrowth of the parent cell e.g yeast
4. Mucor and penicillium reproduce asexually by means of spores
5. Saprophytes e.g yeast are used in preparation of alcohol to ferment sugar to alcohol
6. An organism may break down into two or more pieces and each piece is can then develop into
a new organism e.g (planaria and tapeworm) is fragmentation
7. Difference between mitosis and meiosis
Mitosis 1 it take place in somatic cells
2 it produces two diploid cells from parents diploid cell
3 short prophase stage
4 no chiasmata occur
Meiosis 1 it's take place in reproductive cells
2 it produces four haploid cell from parents diploid cell
3 long prophase stage
4 chiasmata occur
8 fertilization is the fusion of haploid male gaments (sperm) with a haploid female gamete (egg)
9 external fertilization: aquatic animals e.g toad, frog
10 internal fertilization: terrestial organisms e.g birds and mammals
11 vertebrates (fish, toads, frogs, lizards and mammals carry out cross-fertilization
1 2 hermaphroditism is a situation in which both ovaries/testes are present in one parents
13 oviparous reproduction: this organisms lay eggs in which the embryo hatch outside the body
of the parents. Examples are amphibians (toads or frogs fish or birds.
14 Oviviparous fertilized eggs are produced, developed and animal nourished inside the body of
the parents and hatch before or soon after laying of eggs e.g tsetse fly, snakes, lizards.
15. Viviparous reproduction :Fertilized eggs are produced,developed, nourished inside the body
of the mother through placenta. E.g goat, sheep, dog 🐶.
