What types of cell is an animal and plant cell
Eukaryotic
What type of cell is a bacteria cell
Prokaryotic
What sub cellular structures are in animal cells
Cytoplasm
Cell membrane
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
What is the cytoplasm
Gel like substance where most chemical reactions take place
What is the cell membrane
Semipermeable and controls what enters and leaves the cell
What does the nucleus do
Contains DNA and controls what goes on in the cell
What does the mitochondria do
Uses aerobic respiration to release energy from glucose
What do ribosomes do
Create protein for the cell
What structures do plant cells have
The same structure as animals cells but with three extra features
Chloroplast
Cell wall
Vacuole
What does the cell wall do
Plant cells are filled up with water so a cell wall strengthens it so it doesn’t burst
What is the vacuole
A bag of cell sap where water nutrients and waste products are stored. It helps the cell keep firm
What are chloroplasts
Carries out photosynthesis. Chlorophyll traps sunlight so photosynthesis can occur
What structures do ALL bacteria have
Ribosomes
Cytoplasm
Loop of genetic material
What is the division of prokaryotic cells called
Binary fission
What structures do SOME bacteria have
Flagellum to swim
Slime capsule so airborne bacteria do not dry out
Why are plasmids in bacteria useful
Enzymes can be used to cut out a piece of the plasmid and replace the DNA with a human one to create insulin
What are chromosomes
Compacted strips of DNA
What are genes
A part of DNA that codes for proteins
What are DNA made out of
Genes
Most of a cell cycle is getting ready for mitosis. True or false?
True
How do cells prepare for mitosis
They Duplicate sub cellular structures
Explain the process of mitosis
The nucleus disappears and the chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell
Spindal fibres pull 2 identical arms of each chromosome to opposite sides of the cell
A neucleus forms around each set of chromosomes
A cytoplasm forms between and divides the cell into two identical daughter cells
What is the centre of the cell called
Equator
