Cell Structure

• What are examples of Eukaryotic cells?

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

  Nucleus 
• The________ are 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 structures are found in plant cells, but not in animals cells?

  Chloroplast

  Cell wall

  Permanent Vacuole
• Chloroplasts carry out the process of _______, which involves using light energy from the___  to make glucose. 

  The green pigment that absorbs the light energy is called______ . This is what makes plants green.

  photosynthesis

  sun

  chlorophyll
• The _____ 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.

  vacuole
• 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 are the ring shaped circles in a bacteria cell?

  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
• What structures are not found in bacteria? 

  Nucleus
