what are Eukaryotic cells
cells that contain a nucleus
What are prokaryotic cells
cells without a nucleus
Give three examples of organisms with eukaryotic cells
plant
animal
yeast cells
how is genetic material found in eukaryotic cells
wrapped in a membrane called the nucleus
How is genetic information found in prokaryotic cells
loose in cell, often one chromosome, may have plasmids
how does the size of eukaryotic and prokaryotic compare
Eukaryotic cells are larger
explain why bacteria do not have a mitochondria
mitochondria are the size of bacterium
which five subcellular structures are found in animal cells
Nucleus
ribosomes
cytoplasm
mitochondria
cell membrane
subcellular structures found in plant cells
cell wall
vacuole
chloroplast
what is the function of the nucleus
to control action of the cells ( contains DNA)
what occurs in a cytoplasm
chemical reactions
function of the cell membrane
to control the movement of substances into and out of the cell
what is the function of the mitochondria
Aerobic respiration occurs
what is the function of ribosomes
protein synthesis
what is the function of chloroplast
photosynthesis and absorbs light
what is a vacuole filled with?
cell sap
what is the function of the cell wall
support the cell
what is a cell wall made of
cellulose
what is meant by the term specialised
physically adapted to its function
how is a sperm cell adapted to its function
tail to move; lots of mitochondria for energy
