- Microvilli increased surface area for more absorption - Lots of mitochondrialots of ATP for active transport
62
How is a protein produced and secreted?
In the nucleus DNA is transcribed to mRNA using RNA polymerase. mRNA is then translated into an amino acid chain on the ribosomes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The amino acid chain (primary structure of a protein) is then transported to the golgi body in a vesicle where it is modified and folded into a protein. The protein is then packaged into a golgi vesicle and transported to the cell surface membrane where the vesicle fuses with the membrane and ejects the protein on the other side of the membrane in the process of excocytosis

75
Define prokaryote
Single celled organisms
76
Give examples of prokaryotes
Bacteria and archae
77
Discuss the presence or absence of a nucleus in prokaryotic cells
Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus. Instead they have a circular loop of DNA that is free floating in the cytoplasm. The DNA carried by prokaryotic cells contains no introns and is not found around histones
78
Do prokaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles?
No
79
List some membrane bound organelles

Are slime capsules found in prokaryotic cells?
Yes but only in some
84

More complex cells e.g. animal cells, plant cells and fungi
85
Do eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus?
Yes - it is found as a nuclear envelope containing nuclear pores which holds the nucleolus and the chromatin
86
Do eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles?
Yes
87
What is the size of eukaryotic ribosomes?
Big
88
Are cell walls found in eukaryotic cells?
Yes, in some- Animal cells = no cell wall- Plant cells = yes, made of cellulose- Fungi = yes, made of chitin
89
Do eukaryotic cells have plasmids?
No
90
Do eukaryotic cells have a slime capsule?
No
91
What do viruses have?
- Genetic material (RNA or DNA)- A capsid- Attachment proteins
92
What do attachments proteins do for a virus?
They attach it to a host cell
93
What type of cells are viruses and why?
They are acellular because they have no cell
94
Are viruses alive?
No
95
Why aren't viruses alive?
They cannot replicate without another living cell
96
How do viruses reproduce?
They attach onto a hosts receptor proteins with their complementary receptor proteins and inject their genetic material which hijacks the hosts cell and the viruses uses the hosts cells organelles to reproduce more viruses
