  Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes
• What does a plant cell contain?

  Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Membrane, Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Cell Wall, Vacuole, Chloroplasts
• What does a bacterial cell contain?

  cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, plasmids, ribosomes, bacterial chromosome
• What cell does not have a cell wall?

  animal cells
• Which cell does not have a nucleus?

  Bacterial cell
• What does a fungal cell contain?

  Cell wall, membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes and vacuole.
• Which cells have a vacuole?

  A plant cells and fungal cells
• What is the duty of a cell wall?

  To support and strengthen the cell
• In what cell(s) can a cell wall be found

  Plant, bacterial and fungal.
• What is the duty of the cell membrane.

  Controls which substances enter and exit the cell (it is selectively permeable)
• In what cell(s) can a cell membrane be found

  Animal, plant, bacterial and fungal
• What is the duty of cytoplasm?

  The location of chemical reactions in a cell
• In what cell(s) can cytoplasm be found

  Animal, plant, bacterial and fungal
• What is the duty of the mitochondria?


  The location of aerobic respiration (energy is made here)
• In what cell(s) can a mitochondria be found?

  Animal, plant and fungal cells.
• What is the duty of chloroplasts?

  Contain chlorophyll and are the location of photosynthesis
• In what cell(s) can a chloroplast be found?

  Plant cell
• What is the duty of a vacuole?

  Helps maintain water balance + contains cell sap and supports the cell
• In what cell(s) can a vacuole be found?

  Plant cell
• What is the duty of ribosomes?

  The location of protein synthesis
• In what cell(s) can ribosomes be found in?

  Animal, plant, bacterial and fungal.
• What is the duty of a plasmid?

  Small circular loop of DNA (works as a nucleus)
• In what cell(s) can a plasmid be found in?

  Bacterial cell
• What is the duty of a nucleus?

  To control most cell activities
• In what cell(s) can a nucleus be found?

  Animal, plant and fungal
• What is the cell wall made up of?

  cellulose
• What are unicellular organisms?

  organisms made up of one cell
• What are multicellular organisms?

  organisms that are made up of many cells
• What is the scale of millimetres to micrometers

  1 millimetre = 1000 micrometers
• What is the duty of a bacterial chromosome?

  Contains the genetic material
