B1- what type of cells are a eukaryotic cell
Complex, animal and plant cell
1 of 18
what type of cells are a prokaryotic cell?
Simple, bacteria cell
2 of 18
what parts are in a plant cell that are not in an animal cell?
Cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts
3 of 18
what is the difference between light and electron microscopes?
Light- used to look at cells. Electron- show things in more detail
4 of 18
How can you work out magnification?
Magnification= image size divided by real size
5 of 18
The process by which cells become specialised?
Differentiation
6 of 18
what are undifferentiated cells called?
Stem cells
7 of 18
one example of specialised cells
Sperm cells take the male DNA to the egg- has tail which helps them swim
8 of 18
what are chromosmes?
DNA molecules, control development of different characteristics e.g. eye colour
9 of 18
How many pairs of chromosomes is there?
23 pairs
10 of 18
what is mitosis?
It is used by multicellular organisms, to help grow and develop
11 of 18
Stem cells found in human embyos are called?
Embryonic stem cells
12 of 18
what do embryonic stem cells do?
Can be used to replace faulty cells in sick people
13 of 18
what is diffusion?
Spreading of particles from a high to low concentration
14 of 18
How does the surface area of a membrane affect the rate of diffusion?
The larger the surface area the faster the rate of diffusion
15 of 18
what is osmosis?
The movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution
16 of 18
What is active transport?
Substances absorbed are moved from a low to high concentration against the concentration gradient
17 of 18
How does active transport help root hair cells take in minerals?
Allows the plant to absorb minerals from a very dilute solution in the soil
