Cells And Microscopes Flashcards
(24 cards)
What are the two main types of cells
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells.
Which type of microscope can be used to view plant and animal cells?
Light microscope
What is the function of the Golgi body/apparatus?
Packaging and transport
Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?
Chloroplast
Where is the genetic material of the cell located?
Nucleus
Which organelle is responsible for protein synthesis
Ribosomes
What is the function of the cell membrane?
Regulates what enters and leaves the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
detoxifying harmful substances in the cell
Formula to calculate the size of a cell
Size= FOV/Number of cells across the FOV
Function of Endoplasmic Reticulum?
Protein synthesis
Function of Vacuoles?
Stores water, waste, and nutrients in plant cells?
What organelle is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins?
Golgi body
Which type of cells do not have membrane-bound organelles?
Prokaryotic cells
Which organelle is involved in cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
What is the nucleus in its function?
The control Center or the cell, where genetic information is stored.
What is the mitochondria responsible for?
Mitochondria is responsible for producing energy for the cell through cellular respiration
Name is 3 key factors of prokaryotic cells
Does not have a true nucleus.does not have membrane-bound organelles or fewer.smaller by comparison.
Name three key factors of eukaryotic cells
Has a true nuclear start has membrane-bound organelles or more.bigger by comparison.
Name three key factors of animal cells
Does not have a cell wall.does not contain chloroplasts.has numerous small vacuoles.
Name three key factors of plant cells
Has a cell wall.has a chloroplast which contains chlorophyll.has a large centralised vacuole.
What is the cytoplasm and its function?
Holds component cell in place and protects from damage.
What is a cell wall and its function? 
Provide structure and protection to cell.
What is photosynthesis and its function?
Side of photosynthesis (6H2O + 6CO2 -> C6H1206 + 6CO2)
What is a mitochondria and what are the functions?
Site of respiration (6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6H2O + 6CO2 + ATP
