a bacteria cell includes…
cell membrane
cytoplasm
cell wall
circular strand of DNA
one or more plasmids
nucleus
contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell
mitochondria
where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration take place
cytoplasm
gel-like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen
contains enzymes that control these chemical reactions
cell membrane
holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out
ribosomes
where proteins are made in the cell
cell wall
made of cellulose
supports the cell and strengthens it
permanent vacuole
contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts
chloroplasts
where photosynthesis occurs
contain a green substance called chlorophyll
plasmids
small rings of DNA
respiration
process of breaking down glucose to transfer energy
occurs in every cell
photosynthesis
process by which plants use energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
chlorophyll
green substance found in chloroplasts which absorbs light for photosynthesis
