Q

Virus characteristics

A
  • non-living
  • smaller than bacteria
  • can only reproduce by entering a host cell
  • infect any organism
  • strand of DNA or RNA, surrounded by a protein coat
  • All are pathogens
17
Q

Virus examples

A

Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) - prevents chloroplasts from growing = discoloured leaves

Influenza Virus - causes the flu and HIV that causes AID

18
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Chemical reactions occur

Living material, mostly consisting of water

19
Q

Nucleus

20
Q

Cell Membrane

A

Selectively permeable - controls what enters and leaves

Creates a barrier between cytoplasm and outside of cell

21
Q

Cell Wall

A

Non-living material

Freely permeable

22
Q

Vacuole

A

Filled with water to hold its shape
Cell Sap - Contains dissolved minerals and other solutes

23
Q

Chloroplasts

A

Contains chlorphyll - absorbs light for photosynthesis

24
Q

Mitochondria

A

Site of aerobic repsiration

25
Ribosomes
Site of proteinsynthesis
