Cells

• What are the 2 types of cells called (based on the presence of a nucleus)

  Prokaryotic - no nucleus

  Eukaryotic - with nucleus
• What is the mitochondria responsible for

  Most aerobic respiration reactions
• what is the nucleus responsible for

  contains genetic information that controls the activities of the cell
• what is the cytoplasm responsible for

  most chemical reactions (contains enzymes that control these reactions)
• what is the cell membrane responsible

  -holds cell together

  -controls what goes in and out of the cell
• what are ribosomes responsible for

  protein synthesis (making proteins)
• what is the (rigid) cell wall responsible for

  made of cellulose - supports and strengthens cell
• what is the (permanent) vacuole responsible for

  contains cell sap - a weak solution of sugar and salts
• what are chloroplasts responsible for

  contain chlorophyll - green pigment that absorbs light for photosynthesis
• what are 3 subcellular structures that animal cells don't have but plant cells do

  -cell wall

  -vacuole

  -chloroplasts
• what type of cell is a bacterial cell

  prokaryotic - no nucleus
• how is genetic information stored in a bacterial cell

  single circular DNA strand floating around and plasmids
• what are plasmids responsible for

  rings of DNA floating around a prokaryotic cell
• what are 2 subcellular structures that bacterial cells DON'T contain

  -mitochondria

  -chloroplasts
• Bacterial cells do have a cell wall, cell membrane and cytoplasm
