Cell Structure

• What are Eukaryotes?

  Animals

  Plants
• The _________ contains the cell's genetic material (in the form of DNA), and so controls the cell's activities.

  nucleus
• where proteins are made. We sometimes call them the site of protein synthesis?

  ribosomes
• What is 'cytoplasm'?

  A jelly-like material containing nutrients and salts, where chemical reactions take place
• What is the role of the mitochondria? 

  Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration, so they release energy for the cell. 
• Which of the following are found in plant cells, but not in animals cells?

  Permanent Vacuole

  Cell wall

  Chloroplast
• Chloroplasts carry out the process of photosynthesis, which involves using light energy from the sun to make glucose. 

  The green pigment that absorbs the light energy is called chlorophyll. This is what makes plants green.
• The vacuole is a large sac in the middle of the cell that contains a watery solution of sugars and salts (cell sap). It helps maintain the structure and shape of the cell.
• The ___________ is made of cellulose. This makes it strong and allows it to maintain the shape of the cell. 

  cell wall
• Bacteria are classed as ___________ organisms. 

  prokaryotic
• what is A

  plasmids

  
• True or false? Bacteria have both a cell membrane and a cell wall.

  true
• Are bacterial cells larger or smaller than animal cells?

  smaller
• Bacteria are ? (only consist of a single cell).

  unicellular
