Question 1

What is a cell?

Answer 1

The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms

Question 2

What is an organelle?

Answer 2

Tiny structures inside a cell with a specific function

Question 3

What are the 2 types of cells. Compare.

Answer 3

The 2 types of cells are Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, while Prokaryotic do not have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are in multicellular organisms while Prokayotic cells are in unicellular organisms. Eukaryotes are complex with many subcellular structures called organelles Prokaryotes are simple, with a few.

Question 4

What are some examples of a Eukaryotic cell

Answer 4

Plant cells
Animal cells
Fungi

Question 5

Are Viruses Eukaryotes or Prokaryotes

Answer 5

They are neither as they have no cells

Question 6

List some features of a cell membrane

Answer 6

partially permeable
controls what enters and leaves the cell

Question 7

List some features of the cytoplasm

Answer 7

jelly -like substance
where chemical reactions take place

Question 8

List some features of a nucleus

Answer 8

contains chromosomes
diploid (only haploid in either an egg cell or a sperm cell)
controls cell activities

Question 9

List the features of a Mitochondria

Answer 9

powerhouse of the cell
gives the cell energy
site of aerobic respiration

Question 10

list the features of a ribosome

Answer 10

site of protein synthesis

Question 11

list the features of a vacuole

Answer 11

stores water and cell sap( sugar , water , waste , )

Question 12

List the features of a cell wall

Answer 12

supports and strengthens the cell
fully permeable
gives the cell its shape

Question 13

list the features of a chloroplast

Answer 13

contains chlorophyll
site of photosynthesis

Question 14

What are the vessels used to transport water in plants

Answer 14

Xylem

Question 15

Adaptations of Xylem

Answer 15

strengthened with lignin rings
made of dead cells
have tubes and are porous so that water can easily go through

Question 16

Prokaryotic cells what are bacterial cell

Answer 16

They are prokaryotic cell without A nucleus simple structures and a few organelles

Question 17

What is a cell wall made of

Answer 17

It is made of peptidoglycan

Question 18

Describe the singular circular strand of DNA in bacterial cells

Answer 18

It has no nucleus and floats freely in the cytoplasm

Question 19

What is the difference between ribosomes in animal cells and bacterial cells

Answer 19

The ribosomes in bacterial cells are smaller than those in eukaryotes

Question 20

What are plasmids

Answer 20

They are extra circular loops of DNA which carry beneficial gene

Question 21

Why do some bacterial cells have a flagellum

Answer 21

For extra movement

Question 22

What is the capsule

Answer 22

It is an extra protective outer layer in some bacterial cells

Question 23

Compare a bacteria cell and Animal cell

Answer 23

A bacterial cell has no nucleus while and Animal cell has a nucleus. A bacteria has a singular stand of DNA floating freely while DNA is stored in the nucleus in animal cell. Some bacteria have a capsule while all animal cells have no capsule and the most outer layer is cell membrane. Some bacteria have a flagellum, while no animal cells have one. Bacteria Cells have a flexible cell wall while no animal cells have a cell wall. Bacteria cells are prokaryotic while animal cells are Eukaryotic. Bacteria cells have smaller ribosome while animal cells have longer ribosome. Bacteria cells have few cellular structures while animal cells have many

Question 24

List some similarities of bacterial cells and animal cells

Answer 24

Both have a ribosome both have cell membrane both have cytoplasm both have DNA

Question 25

What are the adaptations of a red blood cell

Answer 25

Red blood cells have hemoglobin to bind transport oxygen. They have no nucleus to pack more hemoglobin. They have a biconcave shape for more surface area. The most surface area allows for faster diffusion of gases.

Question 26

List the adaptation of a ciliated epithelial cell
