what is the difference between plant cell and animal cells?
-cell walls in plants not in animal cells
-they both have cell membrane
-both have nucleus
-both have cytoplasm
-chloroplasts only present in plant cells
-ribosomes found in both
-mitochondria found in both for respiration
-vacuoles found in both
Describe the structure of a bacterial cell
cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm,
ribosomes, circular DNA, plasmids
state the function of cell wall
-protects and supports cell
allows oxygen and water to pass through
state the function of cell membrane
controls what goes in and out of the cell
state the function of the nucleus
contains genetic material and controls cell activities
state the function of cytoplasm
home to cell’s organelles
state the function mitchondria
breaks down sugar molecules to create energy for respiration
state the function of ribosomes
produces proteins
state the function of chloroplasts
captures energy as form of sunlight and uses it to produce food for cells
state the functions of vacuoles
storage area for cells
How are new cells produced?
by division of existing cells
What is the function of ciliated cells?
movement of mucus in the
trachea and bronchi

What is the function of red blood cells?
transport of oxygen
What is the function of palyside mesophyll cells?
Photosynthesis
What is the function of neurones?
conductal of electrical impulses
Function of sperm and egg cells?
reproduction
Define a cell
basic functional and structural units in a living organism
Define a tissue
group of cells of similar structure working together to perform the same function
Define an organ
made from different tissues working together to perform a specific function
Define an organ system
group of organs with related functions, working together to perform body functions
define an organism
different organ systems work group together to form an organism
What is the formula of magnification?
= image size ÷ actual size
how to convert a milimeter into micrometer?
1mm is 1000 micrometer so x1000
