Question Answer
What is a prokaryotic organism? A single-celled organism made up of a single prokaryotic cell
What is a eukaryotic organism? A multi-cellular organism made up of eukaryotic cells.
What is found inside both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells? Organelles.
Which type of cell is more complex: prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells? Eukaryotic cells are more complex.
Name 4 types of eukaryotic cell. Animal, plant, fungal and algal cells are eukaryotic cells.
What is the cell membrane and what is its function? Membrane made of lipids and protein Regulates movement of substances in and out of the cell Has receptor molecules on it
What are mitochondria and what is their function? structures in the cytoplasm where aerobic respiration takes place releasing energy for the cell
What is a chloroplast and what is its function? found in the green parts of the plant contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis
What is a Golgi vesicle and what is its function? Small fluid-filled sac Found in the cytoplasm Produced by the Golgi apparatus Stores lipids and proteins made by the Golgi apparatus and transports them out of the cell
What is a ribosome and what is its function? where protein synthesis takes place
What type of cell are bacteria? Prokaryotes
Do prokaryotic cells have a nucleus? forms a single DNA loop may contain one or more extra small rings of DNA called plasmids
What is a flagellum? a long strand of protein that lashes out and helps the cell move around
What type of cell can have flagella? Prokaryotic
What type of cell always has a cell wall - prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Prokaryotic
How do you calculate magnification? Magnification = size of image / size of real object
How many micrometers are in 1mm? 1000
How many nanometres are there in 1μm? 1000
How many nanometres are there in 1mm? 1,000,000
Define resolution. The minimum distance between two points or objects at which they can be seen as separated.
Define magnification. The number of times bigger the image appears compared to its actual size.
