(24 cards)
What are all living things made of?
Cells.
Eukaryotic cells are…
Complex.
All animal and plant cells are…
Eukaryotic.
Prokaryotic cells are…
Smaller and simpler.
Bacteria are…
Prokaryotic cells.
The different parts of a cell are called…
Subcellular structures.
What 5 subcellular structures do most animal cells have?
- Nucleus,
- Cytoplasm,
- Cell membrane,
- Mitochondria,
- Ribosomes.
Plant cells have all the subcellular structures that animals cells have but they also have…
- A cell wall,
- A vacuole,
- Chloroplasts.
What 5 subcellular structures do bacteria cells have?
- Cell wall,
- Cell membrane,
- Cytoplasm,
- A single loop of DNA,
- Plasmids.
What is the function of the nucleus?
It contains genetic material which controls what the cell does.
What is the function of cytoplasm?
It’s a gel like substance in a cell where most of the chemical reactions take place.
What is the function of the cell membrane?
It controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What’s the function of the mitochondria?
It’s where most aerobic respiration happens which transfers energy that the cell needs to work.
What’s the function of ribosomes?
To make proteins.
What’s the function of the cell wall?
It supports and strengthens the cell. It’s made of cellulose.
What is the function of a vacuole?
It contains cell sap.
What’s the function of chloroplasts?
It’s where photosynthesis happens which makes food for the plant.
What’s the function of DNA?
It stores the genetic information.
What’s the function of plasmids?
They are small rings of extra DNA.
Give two differences in structure between bacteria cells and animal cells.
Any from:
1. Bacteria cells are smaller than animal cells.
2. Bacteria cells don’t have mitochondria but animal cells do.
3. Bacteria cells don’t have a nucleus but animal cells do.
4. Bacteria cells have a cell wall but animal cells don’t.
5. Bacteria cells have plasmids but animal cells don’t.
6. Bacteria cells have circular DNA but animal cells don’t.
If a cell has a nucleus it’s _________.
Eukaryotic.
If a cell doesn’t have a nucleus it’s _________.
Prokaryotic.
Plant and animal cells are _________.
Eukaryotic.
Bacteria cells are __________.
Prokaryotic.
