Biology

• DNA on structures
• the cell and it-
• Nucleus


  Contains the cell's chromosomes; controls activities
• Cell membrane


  Controls what enters and leaves the cell
• Cytoplasm


  Where most of the cell's metabolic and reaction activities occur e.g. respiration
• Chloroplast


  Where photosynthesis occurs, contains chlorophyll which traps energy
• Vacuole


  Stores the cell sap and helps to keep the cell rigid
• Mitochondrion


  Site of aerobic respiration
• Ribosome

  Site of protein synthesis (making new proteins)
• Cell wall


  Supports and protects the cell, made of cellulose (only in plant cells)
• Eukaryotic cell

  • Organism with complex cells, membrane bound organelles
  • Genetic material contained in nucleus
• Prokaryotic cell

  • Single celled organism, no membrane bound organelles
  • Genetic material not contained in a nucleus
• Intercellular and don't need a cell wall
• Slime Capsule

  Exists for protection and hydration
• Flagellum

  For movement, specifically to swim (locomotion)
• Nucleoid

  Naked DNA, a piece of circular DNA
• Plasmid (small circular DNA)
• Antibiotic resistance
