(13 cards)
Which of the following are Eukaryotes?
Animals
Plants
Bacteria
Animals
Plants
The _________ contains the cell’s genetic material (in the form of DNA), and so controls the cell’s activities.
Cytoplasm
Mitochondria
Nucleus
Cell membrane
Nucleus
The _________ are where proteins are made. We sometimes call them the site of protein synthesis.
mitochondria / nuclei / ribosomes
Ribosomes
What is ‘cytoplasm’?
A jelly-like material containing nutrients and salts, where chemical reactions take place
What is the role of the mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration, so they release energy for the cell.
Which of the following are found in plant cells, but not in animal cells?
Permanent Vacuole
Cell membrane
Ribosomes
Cell wall
Chloroplast
Nucleus
Permanent Vacuole
Cell wall
Chloroplast
Chloroplasts carry out the process of________ , which involves using light energy from the ________ to make glucose.
The green pigment that absorbs the light energy is called _______ . This is what makes plants green.
Photosynthesis, Sun, Chlorophyll
The ____________ is a large sac in the middle of the cell that contains a watery solution of sugars and salts (cell sap). It helps maintain the structure and shape of the cell.
Vacuole
The ___________ is made of cellulose. This makes it strong and allows it to maintain the shape of the cell.
Nucleus
Cell membrane
Chloroplast
Cell wall
Cell Wall
Bacteria are classed as ___________ organisms.
Prokaryotic
True or false? Bacteria have both a cell membrane and a cell wall.
True
Are bacterial cells larger or smaller than animal cells?
Smaller
Which of the following are not found in bacteria?
