• How do animal and plant cells differ from bacterial cells in terms of cell type?

  Animal and plant cells are eukaryotic, while bacterial cells are prokaryotic.
• What are the main subcellular structures found in both animal and plant cells?

  • Cell membrane
  • Nucleus
  • Cytoplasm
  • Mitochondria
  • Ribosomes
• What is the function of the cell membrane?

  The cell membrane controls which substances can pass in and out of the cell.
• What does the nucleus contain?

  The nucleus contains the genetic material or DNA of the cell.
• What is cytoplasm and its role in the cell?

  Cytoplasm is a gel-like substance where chemical reactions take place and subcellular structures are suspended.
• What is the primary function of mitochondria?

  Mitochondria provide energy to the cells by breaking down sugars in aerobic respiration.
• What is the process called that mitochondria use to release energy?

  The process is called aerobic respiration.
• What is the role of ribosomes in the cell?

  Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
• What are the additional structures found in plant cells that are not in animal cells?

  • Rigid cell wall made of cellulose
  • Permanent vacuole containing cell sap
  • Chloroplasts for photosynthesis
• What is the function of the cell wall in plant cells?

  The cell wall provides support and structure to the cell.
• What is contained within the permanent vacuole of a plant cell?

  cell sap
• What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

  Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis occurs.
• What substance in chloroplasts absorbs light energy for photosynthesis?

  Chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
• What type of cells are bacteria classified as?

  Bacteria are classified as prokaryotic cells.
• What is the genetic material structure in bacterial cells?

  Bacterial cells have a single circular strand of DNA that floats in the cytoplasm.
• What are plasmids in bacterial cells?

  small rings of DNA that carry extra genes.
• What is the function of flagella in some bacteria?

  allow bacteria to move
• What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?

  Unicellular organisms have a single cell, while multicellular organisms have multiple cells.
• How do the structures of eukaryotic cells differ from prokaryotic cells?

  Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
