What is a eukaryotic cell?
A complex cell with a nucleus
1 of 37
What is a prokaryotic cell?
A single called organism without a nucleus
2 of 37
How is cristae in mitochondria formed?
The inner membrane is deeply folded
3 of 37
What is the purpose of cristae?
It increases the surface area for enzymes involved in respiration within mitochondria
4 of 37
Is a chloroplast single or double membraned?
Double
5 of 37
What is the double membrane within chloroplasts made from?
Thylakoid membranes
6 of 37
How are the granum formed within chloroplasts
They are formed when thylakoids membranes stack up
7 of 37
Where are stroma found?
Chloroplasts
8 of 37
What are storms within the chloroplasts?
Fluid filled matrix
9 of 37
What is the function of the nucleus?
It protects the genetic material and has pores to allow molecules in and out
10 of 37
"Chloroplasts have their own DNA and ribosomes to make enzymes needed for photosynthesis". True or False?
True
11 of 37
Function of the nucleolus?
Makes ribosomes
12 of 37
What is a lysome and its function
It is a membrane bound sac which contains digestive enzymes
13 of 37
What is a vesicle?
Membrane bound sac which allows molecules to be transported
14 of 37
Function of the Golgi body?
Packages and modifies materials to produce vesicles
15 of 37
Function of the centrioles?
Makes spindle fibres for all cell division
16 of 37
Function of the smooth Endoplasmic reticulum?
Produces lipids and steroids
17 of 37
Function of the rough Endoplasmic reticulum?
Site of complex protein synthesis, with ribosomes attached to its surface
18 of 37
What is an algal cell?
It's contains all of the same organelles as plant cells. They are unicellular or multicellular organisms.
19 of 37
What does a eukaryotic cell contain?
Nucleus, nucleolus, ribosome, lysosome, vesicles, Golgi body, smooth and rough Endoplasmic reticulum
20 of 37
What is the purpose of a cellulose cell wall?
Resists stretching and tearing due to osmotic pressure, this protects the cell against osmotic lysis
21 of 37
What is the plant vacuole?
It contains cell sap, can hold up to 90% water and is responsible for the turgidity property of the cell.
22 of 37
What are the features of a prokaryotic cell
DNA is circular and associated with proteins, it contains no membrane bond organelles and 70s organelles.
23 of 37
What are the features of a bacteria cell?
Flagellum, plasmids, mesosomes, a cell wall made of meurin and a slime capsule
24 of 37
What is a flaggellum and where is it found?
Within bacteria cells, it rotates to make the cell move.
25 of 37
What are plasmids?
Small loops of DNA
26 of 37
Function of mesosomes?
Site of aerobic respiration
27 of 37
Function of slime capsules
Prevents dessication (protects from outside influence)
28 of 37
What are the features of a fungal cell?
Cell wall made of chitin, they don't have chloroplasts so do not photosynthesise
29 of 37
Define resolution
The ability to distinguish between objects that are close together
30 of 37
How do you improve resolution?
Shorten the wavelength
31 of 37
What effect does increasing magnification have on resolution?
It decreases
32 of 37
What is homogenisation
It breaks the plasma membrane and releases organelles into solution
33 of 37
Why use an ice cold solution?
It reduces enzyme action which may damage the cell
34 of 37
Why use an isotonic solution?
Prevents the organelle shriviling or bursting from the net movement of water via osmosis
35 of 37
Why use a buffered solution?
Prevents pH change which could denature proteins.
36 of 37
Why is the solution filtered?
Removes any large pieces of tissue not broken up by the homogeniser
