Question Answer
Cell Theory the fundimental building blocks of all living cells
Two Types of Organisms Unicellular Multicellulas
Exceptions to the Cell Theory Striated muscle cells Giant algea Fungi with septette hypta
Types of microscopes and what is used to be able to see the structures. Light microscope: beam of light Electron Microscope: beam of electrons
Resolution of Naked Eye Light Microscope Electron Microscope Naked eye = 0.1mm Light microscope = 0.0002 Electron microscope = 0.000001
Formula of Magnification Observed size / Actual size
7 Functions of Life Reproduction Response Growth Metabolism Nutrition Exertion Homeostasis
Why is there a limit to cell size? Surface Area = Area/Volume If surface area is too small it would take too long for particles to pass through the membrane and if the cell is too small it can overheat
Cell Differentiation The division of labour When cell specialise and have one function or when a certain gene is being expressed
Stem Cells Divide infinitely Only cell that can specialise into any type of cell Have therapeutic uses
The process of stem cells differentiating
TheraPutic Uses Of stem cells Regenate tissues in the lab Transplanting blood stem cells to regenate blood in patient
Label Prokaryotic Cell
How do Prokaryotic Cells Divide Binary Fission
Animal Cell
Plant Cell
Structure & Function Of Nucleus Found In Plant&Animal Cells Has a double membrane with pores 'Brain of Cell' Contains Chromosomes Site for DNA replication Site for Ribosome synthesis
Structure&Function of Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Found in both Animal&Plant Flattened membrane sacs Site for protein synthesis
Structure&Function Of Smooth ER Found in Both Plant&Animal Flattened membrane sacs Site for cellular products such as hormones&lipids
Structure&Function of Ribosomes 80s Found in Both Animal&Plant Site for protein synthesis
Structure&Function of Golgi apparatus Found in both Animal&Plant Processes and packages proteins before they're shipped out of the cell
Structure&Function Of Mitochondria Found in both Animal&Plant Double membrane Inner structure called cristea Contains fluid called matrix Produces energy in the form of ATP
Structure&Function of Lysosome Found in animal cells only Contain digestive enzymes which can be used to breakdown food or breakdown organelles or whole cell
Structure&function of chloroplast Found in plant cells only double membrane contains chlorophyll green pigment
Structure&Function of Vacuoles&Vesicles Found in Both store food and substances used for transport inside the cell
Function&Structure of Microtubules&Centrioles Found in animal cells Movement of chromosomes during cell division
Structure&function of Cilia&Flagella Found in both whip like structures help the cell move
