What are the three extra things in a plant cell, a

Cell wall:  

  • Strengthens the cell/gives support
  • Made of cellulose

Chloroplasts

  • Contain chlorophyll
  • photosynthesis occurs
  • absorbs light energy for photosynthesis

Large vacuole

  • Filled with cell sap
  • -weak solution of sugar and salts

Role of Mitochondria in plant and animal cell?

Mitochondria

  • Most of the reactions for respiration take place here.
  • Respiration releases energy, cells need this to work

What is Chromosomal DNA in a bacterial cell?

Chromosomal DNA:

  • Controls cell's activities and replication
  • floats free in the cytoplasm (not in the nucleus)

what are plasmids in a bacterial cell?

Plasmids:

  • Small loops of extra DNA
  • aren't part of the chromosone
  • contain genes for things like drug resistance 

-can be passed between bacteria

What is the role of the flagellum?

Flagellum:

  • Long hair-like structure
  • rotates to make the bacterium move

How do you work out magnification?

Magnicfication= Length of image/ length of specimen

What is the structure of DNA?

DNA

  • Double helix: two strands coiled together
  • Paired bases
  • Chemicals=bases: hold the strands together
13 of 16

What are paired bases?

There are 4 different bases that pair up:

Adenine and Thymine: AT

Cytosine and Guanine: CG

The base pairs are joined by weak hydrogen bonds

What is a gene?

gene:

  • A section of DNA 
  • Sequence of bases in a gene code for a specific potein/ carries an instruction
