b1.1 Flashcards
Eukaryotic cell
Has a nucleus
Prokaryotic cell
Does not have a nucleus - the genetic material floats in cytoplasm
Cell walls are made of
Cellulose
Feautures of eukaryotic cell
Nucleus, cutoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria
Nucleus
1) controls activity of the cell
2) contains genetic material arranged as chromosomes
3) determines the cells appearance and function
4) contains instructioms to make new cells/ organisms
Cell membrane
1) selective barrier that comtrols what passes into and out of cell
Mitochondria
1) where respiration happens
2) enzymes enable glucose and oxygen to react to make energy
3) the energy is vital to the cell to survive
Cytoplasm
1) jellylike
2) all the chemical reactions of cell happen here
Cell wall
1) made from cellulose
2) keep cell rigid
Bacteria
1) smallest living organisms
2) unicellular
3) contain cell membrane, cell wall, genetic material
Extras
Pili, flagella, plasmids, slime capsule
Flagella
Enables bacteria cell to move through liquids
Pili
Enable cell to attach to structures, also used to transfer genetic material between bacteria
Slime capsule
Protects bacteria cell from drying out and from poisonous substances
Helps to stick to smooth surfaces
Plasmid
Circular
Used to store edtra genes
May help in times of stress
