Q

Vacuole

A

cell support and turgidity

temporary food store in plants.

21
Q

Cell Surface Membrane

A

controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell.

22
Q

Chloroplast

A

site of photosynthesis.

23
Q

Stroma in chloroplast

A

contains enzymes required for photosynthesis.

contains DNA and ribosomes to make proteins needed for photosynthesis.

24
Q

Double Membrane in chloroplast

A

highly selective.

25
Thylakoid in chloroplast
contains chlorophyll
26
Granum in chloroplast
stack of thylakoids gives a large surface area for photosynthesis.
27
Microvilli
large surface area to increase absorption of substances into the cell.
28
Cytoskeleton
protein fibres that maintain and stabilise the cells shape.
29
Centrioles
protein fibres form the spindles during cell division.
30
Eukaryote Organelles
``` mitochondria smooth ER nucleolus nuclear envelope nuclear pores rough ER golgi apparatus ribosomes lysosomes cell surface membrane ```
31
Prokaryote Organelles
``` cell wall ribosomes circular DNA plasmid flagella cytoplasm plasma membrane capsuole ```
32
Circular DNA
contains genes for survival and enzymes that break down antibodies/antibiotics.
33
Flagellum
spins and corkscrews to help aid movement through fluids
34
Capsule
sticks to surfaces and other bacteria inorder to protect the cell.
35
Cell Wall
protects against mechanical damage
36
Prokaryotes Size
0.1 to 10 micro meters in length
37
Eukaryotes Size
10 to 100 micro meters in length
38
Folds in the Membrane
contains enzymes for respiration or photosynthesis .
39
Plasmid
contains genes that aid survival and produce enzymes to break down antibodies
40
Differences between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes (nucleus)
E has a nucleus | P has no nucleus
41
Differences between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes (bound organelles)
E has membrane bound organelles | P has no membrane bound organelles
42
Differences between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes (cell wall)
E has a cellulose based cell wall | P has a peptiglycon based cell wall
43
Differences between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes (DNA)
E has DNA held on linear chromosomes and located within the nucleus P has DNA held on circular chromosomes and located within the cytoplasm
44
Differences between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes (ATP production)
E happens in the mitochondria | P happens in infolded regions of the cell membrane called mesosomes
45
Differences between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes (ribosomes)
E has 80s ribosomes | P has 70s ribosomes
46
Bacteria Cell Wall
peptidoglycan
47
Fungi Cell Wall
chitin
48
Plant Cell Wall
