Cards (19)

  • What types of cells are animal and plant cells?
    Eukaryotes
  • What types of cells are bacterial cells?
    Prokaryotes
  • Prokaryotic defenition

    Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and a membrane
  • Eukaryotic cells defenition 

    Eukaryotic cells have both and nucleus and a membrane
  • What are cells?

    The smallest unit of life that can replicate independently
  • Cell membrane
    Controls which substances can pass in and out the cell
  • Nucleus
    Controls the activities of the cells and contains genetic material(DNA)
  • Cytoplasms
    Where chemical reactions take place
  • Mitochondria
    Provides cells the energy they need to function
  • Ribosomes
    Where proteins are made
  • Rigid cell wall
    Made up of cellulose which helps the cell wall provide support and structure to the cell
  • Vacuole
    Contains cell sap, which is a mixture of sugars, salts and water, that the cell can use when needed
  • Chloroplast
    Where photosynthesis occurs
  • What does it mean when a cell is unicellular?
    Single celled
  • What to bacterial cells not have?
    Mitochondria, chloroplast, nucleus
  • Where do bacterial cells keep their genetic material if not in the nucleus?
    Nucleoid(Circular strand of DNA)
  • What do plasmids do(only in bacterial cells)?
    They carry extra genes e.g. antibiotic resistance
  • What does a flagella do(only in bacterial cells)?
    Allow the bacteria to move around
  • All living organisms are made up of one or more cells
