CB1 Flashcards
(20 cards)
function of the nucleus:
controls cell activities + stores genetic material.
function of the ribosome:
the site of protein synthesis
function of the cell wall:
provides strength and support
function of cell membrane:
controls entry/exit of materials
function of the vacuole:
stores cell sap and provides support
what are plasmids?
small circular rings of DNA that carry genes
function of mitochondria:
the site of energy production (aerobic respiration)
function of chloroplast:
the site of photosynthesis
function of cytoplasm:
the site of chemical reactions
what is the cell wall made of?
the cell wall is made of cellulose.
which parts of a cell do NOT appear in an animal cell?
cell wall, chloroplast, vacuole and plasmids aren’t part of an animal cell.
which parts of a cell do NOT appear in a fungal cell?
chloroplast, vacuole and plasmids aren’t parts of a fungal cell.
which parts of a cell do NOT appear in a bacterial cell?
nucleus, chloroplasts, vacuole and mitochondria aren’t parts of a bacterial cell.
what do NOT appear in a plant cell?
plasmids do not appear in a plant cell.
what are the parts of a cell called?
‘organelles’ are parts of the cell.
which parts of a cell are only found in a plant cell?
chloroplasts and the vacuole are only found in a plant cell.
which part of a cell can only be found in a bacterial cell.
plasmids can only be found in a bacterial cell.
what is the basic unit of life?
the cell is the basic unit of life.
what is the ultrastructure of a cell?
the ultrastructure of a cell is its fine structure as revealed at high magnification.
what is different about fungal and bacterial cells?
the composition and structure of fungal and bacterial cell walls are different.
