cells

Question 1

prokaryotes

Answer 1

a group of single-celled organisms with no nucleus and circular loop of DNA (bacteria and archaea)

Question 2

eukaryotes

Answer 2

a group of single and multi celled organisms with a nucleus and linear strands of DNA, animals, plants and fungi

Question 3

unicellular

Answer 3

is made of only one cell

Question 4

multicellular

Answer 4

is an organisms composed of many cells

Question 5

organelles

Answer 5

any of a number of organised or specialised structures within a living cell

Question 6

mitochondria

Answer 6

highly folded inner membrane surrounded by the second outer membrane
site of aerobic cellular respiration (produces ATP)

Question 6

golgi body

Answer 6

stacked flattened sacs that are the sites of protein sorting, packaging and modification

Question 7

nucleus

Answer 7

is surrounded by a double membrane
protects the DNA of the cell
inside the nucleus is a smaller structure called a nucleolus (site of ribosome production)

Question 8

rough endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 8

a membranous chain of connected and flattened sacs which are coated with ribosomes
synthesising and modifies proteins

Question 9

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 9

a membranous chain of connected and flattened sacs that is NOT coated with ribosomes
responsible for production of lipids

Question 10

chloroplast

Answer 10

a double membrane-bound organelle that contains flattened, fluid-filled sacs
is the site of photosynthesis

Question 11

cell wall

Answer 11

a sturdy border outside the plasma membrane outside plasma membrane that provides strength and structure the plant

Question 12

large vacuole

Answer 12

a membrane-bound sac that is used for water and solute storage
maintains plant cell structure

Question 13

ribosomes

Answer 13

tiny structures made of rRNA and proteins
freely float in cytoplasm or attached to rough ER
building blocks to make proteins

Question 14

lysosomes

Answer 14

membrane-bound vesicle containing digestive enzymes

Question 15

isotonic

Answer 15

describes a solution with the same solute concentration as another solution

Question 16

hypotonic

Answer 16

describes a solution with a lower solute concentration when compared to another solution

Question 17

hypertonic

Answer 17

hypertonic describes a solution with a higher solute concentration when compared to another solution

Question 18

photosynthesis

Answer 18

the process of converting light energy, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen

Question 19

respiration

Answer 19

he biochemical process in all living things that converts glucose into ATP. Can be aerobic or anaerobic
