- 1What's a prokaryotic cell?A small and simple cell (i.e bacteria)
- 2What's a eukaryotic cell?A complex cell that includes all plant and animal cells
- 3What's a prokaryote?A single celled organism (made of one prokaryotic cell)
- 4Name 5 subcellular structures of an animal cellNucleus
Cytoplasm
Cell Membrane
Mitochondria
Ribosomes - 5Name 3 organelles in a plant cell that an animal cell doesn't haveCell wall
Permanent vacuole
Chloroplasts - 6What's the function of the nucleus?Contains genetic material that controls the activity in the cell
- 7What's the function of cytoplasm?Site of most chemical reactions within the cell
Contains enzymes that control the reactions - 8What's the function of the cell membrane?Holds the cell together
Partially permeable (controls what goes in and out) - 9What's the function of mitochondria?Where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration take place. Transfers energy that the cell needs to work
- 10What's the function of a ribosome?Where protein synthesis occurs
(proteins are made) - 11What's the function of a cell wall?Supports and strengthens cell
- 12What's the function of the permanent vacuole?Stores cell sap - a weak solution of sugars and salts
- 13What's the function of chloroplasts?Holds chlorophyll - a green pigment needed for photosynthesis
- 14Where can the DNA of bacteria be found?Plasmids (Rings of DNA)
