Cell Structure & Function

Every organelle with its job, plus transport across the membrane.

How to use it

Learn organelles by job, not by shape. The exam asks for function.

Roots are where y = 0.Roots, zeros, solutions and x-intercepts all mean the same thing.SOLVE BY FACTORING — try this firstx² + 7x + 12 = 0 → (x + 3)(x + 4) = 0 → x = −3 or −4Find two numbers that multiply to c and add to b. Here: 3 × 4 = 12 and 3 + 4 = 7.Zero product property: if two things multiply to zero, one of them must be zero.THE QUADRATIC FORMULA — always worksx = ( −b ± √(b² − 4ac) ) / 2aWrite a, b and c down first, with their signs. Most errors are a lost minus sign.x² + 7x + 12: a = 1, b = 7, c = 12.THE DISCRIMINANT b² − 4acpositive → 2 real rootszero → 1 repeated rootnegative → noneCheck it before you factor — it tells you whether factoring will work at all.Quadraticslittleactivity.com

Replace y: 3x + (2x + 1) = 112. Solve: 5x + 1 = 11 → x = 23. Back-substitute: y = 2(2) + 1 = 5Solution: (2, 5)ELIMINATION — when the terms line up2x + 3y = 12  and  2x − y = 41. Subtract the equations: 4y = 8 → y = 22. Substitute back: 2x − 2 = 4 → x = 3If nothing cancels, multiply one equation through first.Solution: (3, 2)HOW MANY SOLUTIONS?Onelines crossdifferent slopesNoneparallel linessame slope, different interceptInfinitethe same linesame slope, same interceptSystems of Equationslittleactivity.com
