What does the cell wall do?
Supports and protects the cell. Keeps its shape to prevent it bursting from osmosis
1 of 31
What does the cell membrane do?
Controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell
2 of 31
What do ribosomes do?
Protein synthesis for use inside cells
3 of 31
What does a nucleoid do?
Where bacterial chromosome is found. DNA for regular life processes like respiration
4 of 31
What does the cytoplasm do?
Where chemical reactions take place
5 of 31
What do the pili do?
For conjugation; stick to surfaces; reproduction
6 of 31
What is conjugation?
The joining of bacteria to transfer plasmids
7 of 31
What is a plasmid?
Contains survival DNA like antibiotic resistance
8 of 31
What do the flagella do?
Help it move
9 of 31
What size ribosomes are in eukaryotes?
80S
10 of 31
What are vesicles for?
Membrane-bound compartment to transport proteins
11 of 31
What do the mitochondria do?
Release energy from respiration
12 of 31
What does the rough endoplasmic reticulum do?
Membrane-bound ribosomes for protein synthesis- these proteins are used for the surface of the reticulum or outside the cell
13 of 31
What does the lysosome do?
Old organelles that don't work or bad bacteria is recycled here to be used again
14 of 31
What does the golgi apparatus do?
Processes, sorts and sends proteins in vesicles to the parts of the cell where they are needed
15 of 31
What is special about the membrane surrounding a eukaryote nucleus?
Double membrane with pores to let mRNA out
16 of 31
Where is the golgi apparatus always situated?
Next to the nucleus
17 of 31
What sort of membrane does a mitochondrion have?
A double membrane
18 of 31
What does a smooth endoplasmic reticulum do?
Produces fats and steroid hormones
19 of 31
What do centrioles do?
Where spindle fibres come out of for mitosis- on both planes of the cell
20 of 31
What do microtubules do?
Help the structure or to transport
21 of 31
What do vacuoles do?
Stores fat or cell sap
22 of 31
Are vacuoles on in plant cells?
No - plants and animals
23 of 31
Do plant cells have flagella?
No
24 of 31
Do plant cells have cilia?
No
25 of 31
Do plants and animals have microtubules?
Yes

No
28 of 31
Do animal cells have a cell wall?
No
29 of 31
What is an organelle?
Parts of a cell that are membrane bound

What is endosymbiosis?
Having a bacteria living inside cells
