What type of cells are being discussed in this video?
Eukaryotic cells
View source
What organelles are important to know for A-level biology?
Cell surface membrane
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts
Golgi apparatus
Vesicles
Lysosomes
Ribosomes
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Cell wall
Cell vacuole
View source
What is the function of the cell surface membrane?
It controls what can
enter
and
exit
the cell.
View source
What is the structure of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)?
It has
ribosomes
on its surface.
View source
What is the primary function of ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Protein synthesis
occurs on ribosomes.
View source
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
It modifies, sorts, and packages
proteins
and
lipids
.
View source
What are lysosomes and their function?
Lysosomes are sacs of
digestive enzymes
that break down
waste materials
.
View source
What is the role of mitochondria in the cell?
Mitochondria are the site of
aerobic respiration
.
View source
What is the structure of mitochondria?
Mitochondria have a
double membrane
with folded inner membranes called
cristae
.
View source
What is the function of ribosomes in eukaryotic cells?
Ribosomes are responsible for
protein synthesis
.
View source
What is the difference between ribosomes in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells have larger ribosomes (
80S
) compared to prokaryotic cells (
70S
).
View source
What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?
Vacuoles provide structural support and store substances like
sugars
and
amino acids
.
View source
What is the composition of the plant cell wall?
The plant cell wall is made up of
cellulose
.
View source
What is the function of the chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are the site of
photosynthesis
.
View source
What is the structure of chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts have a
double membrane
and
thylakoid
membranes stacked to form
granum
.
View source
What is the role of the plasma membrane in cells?
The plasma membrane controls the entry and exit of
substances
in and out of the cell.
View source
What are the functions of the Golgi apparatus and vesicles?
Modifies
proteins
and lipids
Sorts and packages them for transport
Produces
glycoproteins
Stores and modifies lipids
Creates
lysosomes
View source
Compare the structure and function of mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Mitochondria:
Double membrane
Site of
aerobic respiration
Contains
cristae
and
matrix
Chloroplasts:
Double membrane
Site of
photosynthesis
Contains
thylakoid membranes
and
stroma
View source
What are the differences between plant and animal cells regarding organelles?
Plant cells:
Have
cell walls
Have
chloroplasts
Have large
vacuoles
Animal cells:
Do not have cell walls
Do not have chloroplasts
Have smaller vacuoles
View source
What is the significance of the nuclear envelope?
Double membrane structure
Contains
pores
for material exchange
Protects the
nucleus
and its contents
View source
What is the role of the nucleolus within the nucleus?
Site of
rRNA
production
Involved in
ribosome
assembly
Located within the nucleus
View source
What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Synthesis of lipids and carbohydrates
Storage of synthesized products
Lacks
ribosomes
on its surface
View source
What is the role of lysosomes in cellular processes?
Digestive enzymes for breaking down waste
Involved in
autolysis
of dead cells
Participate in
exocytosis
to release enzymes
View source
What is the function of the cell wall in plant cells?
Provides structural strength
Made of
cellulose
Helps maintain
turgidity
View source
What is the role of the tonoplast in vacuoles?
Membrane surrounding the vacuole
Helps maintain
cell structure
Controls the movement of
substances
in and out of the vacuole
