Cells

• What is the function of the cell membrane?

  It controls what comes in and out of the cell.
• What is the fundamental building block of life?

  The cell.
• What do chloroplasts contain that is essential for photosynthesis?

  Chlorophyll.
• Where do most of the chemical reactions in the cell take place?

  In the cytoplasm.
• What type of cell has a nucleus?

  Eukaryotic cell.
• Where does respiration take place in a cell?

  In the mitochondria.
• What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

  It contains the cell's information and controls growth and reproduction.
• What are organelles?

  Tiny cellular structures that carry out specific functions necessary for life.
• What is photosynthesis?

  A chemical reaction that uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
• What do ribosomes do?

  They are responsible for assembling proteins. Also known as protein synthesis
• What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells?

  It contains cell sap to give strength to the cell.
• What are the main components of a eukaryotic cell?

  • Cell membrane
  • Cell wall (in plants)
  • Nucleus
  • Mitochondria
  • Chloroplasts (in plants)
  • Ribosomes
  • Cytoplasm
  • Vacuole (in plants)
• What organelle is responsible for energy production in animal cells?

  Mitochondria
• What is the jelly-like substance inside a cell called?

  Cytoplasm
• What organelle contains the genetic material in a cell?

  Nucleus
• What is the function of the cell membrane?

  It regulates what enters and exits the cell.
• What structure is found only in plant cells and provides rigidity?

  Cell wall
• What is the formula for image size?

  Imag size = magnification × actual size
• What is a eukaryotic cell?

  A cell that has a nucleus
• What is a prokaryotic cell?

  A cell without a nucleus
• Example of eukaryotes

  Animal cell, Plant cell
• Example of Prokaryotes

  Bacteria, Red blood cells
• What is the job of a capsule?

  A gel-like layer around the outside of a bacterium that can protect the cell and stop it from drying out
• What is the job of a flagella?

  Helps some prokaryotic cells with movement
• Plasmid

  Circular loops of DNA in bacteria which contains useful genes
• Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

  Eukaryotes have a cell wall made of cellulose whereas prokaryotes have a cell wall made of murein.

  
  

  Prokaryotes of a circular DNA located in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotes have linear DNA located in the nucleus.

  
  

  Eularyotes of sub-cellular membrane bound structures whereas prokaryotes don't.

  
  

  Prokaryotes are small and simple whereas eukaryotes are bigger and more complex.
• What are the three things plant cells typically have that animal cells don't


  Cell wall Chloroplasts Vacuole
• This is a bacterium which is an example of a prokaryotic cell.

  
• What are three substances that all cells need?

  Oxygen, water, and glucose are substances that all cells need.
