What is the function of ribosomes?
Where proteins needed for the cell are synthesised
1 of 25
Which types of cells are ribosomes found in?
Animal and Plant
2 of 25
What are bacteria (in terms of cells)?
Unicellular organisms that are microorganisms
3 of 25
What is the function of the vacuole?
Contains cell sap that helps to keep cell rigid to support plant
4 of 25
What happens in mitochondria?
Energy is released during respiration
5 of 25
What doesn't a bacteria cell have and so what does this mean?
Nucleus so the genetic material is in the cytoplasm
6 of 25
What is the function of plasmids in a bacteria cell?
Small circles of DNA that also contain genes to make protein
7 of 25
If a cell has many mitochondria, what does this mean?
It must need a lot of energy
8 of 25
Many ribosomes?
It is making a lot of protein
9 of 25
Why are cells specialised?
So that they can carry out a particular function
10 of 25
What is the function of a muscle cell?
Contracts to allow movement of body parts
11 of 25
How is a muscle cell adapted?
It contains long protein filaments that can lie past each other to shorten the cell
12 of 25
What is the function of a guard cell?
To open and close stomata
13 of 25
What does epithelial mean?
A cell that covers or lines something
14 of 25
What is a tissue?
Lots of specialise cells working together
15 of 25
What is diffusion?
Spreading out of particles of a gas or any substance in a solution
16 of 25
What does the net movement depend on?
The concentration of particles on each side of the cell membrane
17 of 25
What happens in diffusion?
Particles move randomly from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
18 of 25
What is the concentration gradient?
The difference between the two areas.
19 of 25
The larger the concentration gradient...
the faster the rate of diffusion
20 of 25
Explain cells
These differentiate during the development of organisms so that they can perform certain functions
21 of 25
Tissue
Group of cells working together to perform a certain function
22 of 25
What is the function of epithelial tissue?
Make up linings and cover some parts of the body
23 of 25
Function of glandular tissue?
Produce substances such as enzymes or hormones and then to release them
24 of 25
Function of muscular tissue?
Contact to bring about movement
