cells - animal + plant cells

Question 1

What does the nucleus do?

Answer 1

Contains genetic information (DNA) and controls the activities of the cell.

Question 2

What is the definition of a cell?

Answer 2

A basic unit for all living things

Question 3

What does the word protein synthesis mean?

Answer 3

To make proteins

Question 4

What is the job of the cytoplasm?

Answer 4

A jelly like substance, where all the chemical reactions in the cell takes place

Question 5

What are the 2 types of cells?

Answer 5

Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic

Question 6

What is the structure of DNA?

Answer 6

double helix structure

Question 7

What is the job of the cell membrane?

Answer 7

Holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out of the cell

Question 8

What is the job of the Ribosome?

Answer 8

Is where protein synthesis takes place so where proteins are made in the cell, using energy released from aerobic respiration from the mitochondria

Question 9

What is the job of the mitochondria?

Answer 9

Is where aerobic respiration takes place which releases energy for the cell to function

Question 10

What are reactants?

Answer 10

They are when things react together to make a product

Question 11

What is a product?

Answer 11

Is what you make from reactants in a chemical reaction

Question 12

What are the 2 types of respirations?

Answer 12

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration

Question 13

Which respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen?

Answer 13

Aerobic

Question 14

Which respiration releases more energy per unit of glucose?

Answer 14

Aerobic

Question 15

What is the equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 15

Glucose + Oxygen - Carbon dioxide + Water

Question 16

what type of respiration only occurs in the mitochondria?

Answer 16

Aerobic, anaerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm

Question 17

what is the function of the cell wall?

Answer 17

the cell wall contains cellulose which helps keep the plant cell strong and rigid

Question 18

What is cellulose?

Answer 18

Long straight chains of glucose

Question 19

what is the function of the Vacole

Answer 19

It contains cell sap which is a weak solution of sugars and salts. this helps it to act like a pump which helps it keep it rigid shape (stiff)

Question 20

What does the chloroplast do?

Answer 20

Its where photosynthesis occurs, it contains a green pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs light energy for photosynthesis

Question 21

what is the equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 21

Carbon dioxide + Water - Glucose + Oxygen (light energy is absorbed)

Question 22

what process can glucose be used in after being produced in photosynthesis?

Answer 22

Aerobic respiration in the mitochondria to release energy which can be used to help the plant to grow

Question 23

What are Eukaryotic cells?

Answer 23

Animal and Plant cells that have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material enclosed in a nucleus

Question 24

What type of cells are prokaryotic?

Answer 24

Bacterial cells

Question 25

What makes a prokaryotic cell different from an eukaryotic cell?

Answer 25

A prokaryotic cell has a cytoplasm and a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall. The genetic material is NOT enclosed in the nucleus

Question 26

What are plasmids?

Answer 26

One or more small rings of DNA

Question 27

In what cell is ribosomes smaller?

Answer 27

Prokaryotic

Question 28

What are main chromosomal DNA?

Answer 28

One king free floating loop of DNA

Question 29

What is flagellum?

Answer 29

Its a long hair like structure that rotates to help bacterium to move (not all bacteria have it)

Question 30

How is the DNA shaped in prokaryotic cells?

Answer 30

Circular

Question 31

How is DNA shaped in eukaryotic cells?

Answer 31

Linear

Question 32

Which cell is larger?

Answer 32

Eukaryotic
