Term
How many parts are there in an animal cell?
What are they?
Definition
5
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Cell Membrane
Ribosomes
Mitichondria
Term
What is the function of the ribosomes?
Definition
This is where proteins (enzymes) are made
Term
What is the function of the cell membrane?
Definition
This controls what goes in and out of the cell
Term
What is the function of the cytoplasm?
Definition
This is where chemical reactions take place.
Term
What is the function of the nucleus?
Definition
Its contains genetic information
It controls cell activity
Term
What is the function of mitochondria?
Definition
This is the site of aerobic respiration.
This is where energy from glucose is released so it can be used by the cell. It uses oxygen and glucose to do so.
Term
What structures does a bacteria cell have that others do not?
Definition
Slime Capsule, Plasmid, Flagella, Loose Genetic Material
Term
What control chemical reactions in cells?
Definition
Enzymes
Term
What parts do bacteria cells have?
Definition
Nucleus, Cell Wall, Cell Membrane, Slime Capsule, Plasmid, Flagella, Ribosomes, Genetic Material, Cytoplasm
Term
What is is the function of the slime capsule?
Definition
It gives protection and stops the bacterium from drying out
Term
What is the function of the plasmid?
Definition
These are small circular bits of DNA that carry extra genetic information.
Term
What is the function of flagella?
Definition
These are long protein strands that bacteria use to move
Term
What are the parts of a yeast cell?
Definition
Mitochondria, ribosomes, cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell wall, nucleus.
Term
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
Definition
Glucose+Oxygen+ Carbon Dioxide + water
Term
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
Definition
Carbon Dioxide+ ethanol+ Glucose
Term
What is the function of the vacuole?
Definition
It is a space in the cytoplasm which is filled with cell sap. It keeps the cells in the plant rigid.
Term
What is the function of a cell wall?
Definition
It is made of celluose and stregnthens the cell and gives it support.
Term
What is the function of the chloroplasts?
Definition
They are green as the contan chlorophyll. This substance absorbs light energy to make food through photosynthesis. Root cells do not contain chloroplasts
Term
How do yeast cells reproduce?
Definition
Yeast cells reproduce asexually with asexual budding. This involvesa new yeast cell growing out of the original cell to form a separate yeast organism
Term
True or false? Bacteria and yeast have a cell wall made of cellulose
Definition
False,
Their wall is not made from cellulose
Term
What is a diffusion gradient?
Definition
The concerntation gradient is the difference in concerntration between two areas.
Term
What 4 important dissolved substances move across membranes by diffusion?
Definition
Amino acids, glucose, oxygen and water
Term
Which specialised cells transport oxygen?
Definition
Red Blood Cells
Term
What cell structure does the oxygen have to diffuse across to enter the specialised cell for its ttransport?
Definition
Cell Membrane
Term
In which cell structure is energy is relased from glucose using oygen?
Definition
Mitochondria
Term
What is a cell?
Definition
The smallest living oraganism
Term
What is a tissue?
Definition
A tissue is a group of cells with a similar structure and function
Term
What is an organ?
Definition
A group of similar tissues.
Term
What is an organ system?
Definition
Different organs are combined to carry out major functions.
