What are two different types of cells?
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
1 of 45
What are prokaryotic cells?
Small and simple cells.
2 of 45
What are eukaryotic cells?
Large and complex cells.
3 of 45
Bacteria is a ......... cell.
Prokaryotic.
4 of 45
Animal and plants are ........... cells.
Eukaryotic.
5 of 45
Animal cells contain...
Everything a plant cell has except for a cell wall, vacuole and chloroplasts.
6 of 45
Plant cells contain...
A nucleus, cytoplasm, a cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, a cell wall, a vacoule and chloroplasts.
7 of 45
What is a nucleus?
It contains genetic material that controlls the cell's activity.
8 of 45
What is cytoplasm?
A gel-like substance where chemical reactions occur. It contains enzymes that controll the reactions.
9 of 45
What is the cell membrane?
It holds the cell together and controlls what goes in and out.
10 of 45
What are mitochondria?
Where reactions for aerobic respiration occurs.
11 of 45
What are ribosomes?
Where proteins are made in the cell
12 of 45
What is the cell wall?
Made of cellulose. It supports the cell and strengthens it.
13 of 45
What's the vacuole?
Contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts.
14 of 45
What are chloroplasts?
Where photosynthesis occurs. They contain a green substance calles chlorophyll which absorbs light.
15 of 45
Bacterial cells contain...
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell wall, circular strand of DNA, plasmids.
16 of 45
Bacteria's nucleus is...
Not a true nuclues, it's just a single circular strand of DNA that floast freely in cytoplasm.
17 of 45
What are plasmids?
Small rings of DNA
18 of 45
Name the two different microscopes.
Electron and light microscope
19 of 45
What is the equation for image size?
Magnification*real size
20 of 45
What is the equation for magnification?
Image size/real size
21 of 45
What is the equation for real size?
Image size/magnification
22 of 45
What do you need to observe something on a microscope?
Water drop mixed with iodine, cover slip, slide, specimen stained with iodine and a microscope.
23 of 45
What are the key features on a microscope?
Eyepiece, course adjustment knob, fine adjustment knob, stage, light, high and low power objective lens.
24 of 45
What is differentation?
When cells become specialised to do a job.
25 of 45
What are sperm cells specialised for?
Reproduction.
26 of 45
What are nerve cells specialised for?
Rapid signalling.
27 of 45
What are muscle cells specialised for?
Contraction.
28 of 45
What are root hair cells specialised for?
Absorbing water and minerals.
29 of 45
What are phloeam and xylem cells specialised for?
Transporting substances.
30 of 45
What is mitosis?
The cell produces two new daughter cells with the exact same DNA.
31 of 45
What are stem cells?
They can become any type of cell that can cure many diseases and clone things.
32 of 45
What is diffusion?
The spreading out of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
33 of 45
What is osmosis?
The movement of water molecules across a partially permeable memebrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration.
34 of 45
How do root hairs take in minerals?
Active transport.
35 of 45
Why do we need active transport?
To stop us starving.
36 of 45
What is active transport?
It absorbs minerals in plants and takes in glucose in humans.
37 of 45
What is the exchange of substances?
When cells take in substances they need and get rid of waste products.
38 of 45
What are examples of exchanges substances?
Oxygen and CO2 are transferred between cells and environment during gas excahnge.
39 of 45
What are exchanging substances?
They allow efficient diffusion for multicellular organisms.
40 of 45
What are multicellular organisms?
They have a small surface area compared to their volume.
41 of 45
Where does gas exchange occur?
The lungs.
42 of 45
What do the villi provide?
A big surface area.
43 of 45
What does the structure of leaves allow?
Gases to diffuse in and out of cells.
44 of 45
