  • What are all living things made of?
    They are made of cells.
  • What cell are animal and plant cells?
    Eukaryotic since they are complex
  • What cell Is a bacteria?
    Prokaryote since they are smaller and simpler
  • What are eukaryotes?
    Organisms with cells that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  • What is a prokaryote?
    A prokaryote is a type of organism that lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
  • explain nucleus
    The nucleus contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell.Genetic material is arranged into chromosomes.
  • What is a cytoplasm?
    A cytoplasm is a gel like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen.It contains enzyme that control these chemical reactions.
  • Explain cell membrane
    Cell membrane holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out.
  • Explain mitochondria
    Mitochondria is where most of the reactions for respiration take place.Respirarion transfers energy that the cell needs to work.
  • Explain ribosomes
    These are involved in translation of genetic material in the synthesis of protein.
  • State the subcellular structure most animal cells have
    Nucleus,Cytoplasm,Cell membrane, Mitochondria,Ribosomes.
  • State the extra subcellular structures that animal cells have that animal cells don’t
    Rigid cell wall,Large vacuole,Chloroplasts.
  • Explain the rigid cell wall
    The rigid cell wall is made of cellulose.It supports the cell and strengthens it.
  • Explain large vacuole
    The large vacuole contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts.It contains the internal pressure to support the cell.
  • Explain the chloroplasts
    In the chloroplasts is where photosynthesis occurs,which makes food for the plant. They contain a green substance called chlorophyll.
  • State the subcellular structures of bacterial cells
    Chromosomal DNA,Ribosomes,Cell membrane,Plasmid DNA,Flagellum
