Question 1

Question
CYTOPLASM contains ENZYMES that control the CHEMICAL REACTIONS.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 2

Question
What is the function of the cell wall?
Answer
  • support and strengthen the plant cell
  • to produce proteins
  • where photosynthesis takes place

Question 3

Question
What is the green substance in chloroplasts?
Answer
  • chlorophyll
  • cellulose
  • enzymes
  • mitochondria

Question 4

Question
What does the permanent vacuole contain?
Answer
  • cell sap (weak solution of sugars and salts)
  • chlorophyll
  • cellulose

Question 5

Question
This is a bacteria cell
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 6

Question
Features of a bacteria cell
Answer
  • nucleus
  • mitochondria
  • cytoplasm
  • cell membrane
  • plasmid DNA
  • cell wall
  • vacuole
  • chloroplasts
  • flagella
  • chromosomal DNA (carries most of the genetic information)

Question 7

Question
Yeast cells do not contain ribosomes or mitochondria
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 8

Question
Both yeast and bacteria are single celled organisms
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
Diffusion is the spreading of particles from a LOW concentration to a HIGH concentration
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
Diffusion only happens in liquids
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 11

Question
Diffusion only happens in liquids
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 12

Question
The BIGGER the DIFFERENCE IN CONCENTRATION the FASTER the diffusion rate
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 13

Question
Dissolved substances can move in and out of cells by DIFFUSION. This is called OSMOSIS
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 14

Question
Osmosis is the movement of water from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 15

Question
Particles move about randomly, so they move both ways through a semi permeable mebrane in osmosis. This means there is a NET (overall) movement FROM the HIGHER concentration
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 16

Question
Adaptions of the PALISADE CELL or PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Answer
  • Packed with chloroplasts
  • More chloroplasts near the top of the cell so they're nearer the light
  • TALL meaning larger SURFACE AREA for ABSORBING CO2 from the air
  • THIN meaning they can be crammed tightly next to eachother at the top of the leaf
  • Special kidney-shape
  • When the plant has lots of water, the cells become TURGID so the stomata OPEN and gases can be exchanged
  • When the plant is short of water, the cells become FLACCID, making the stomata close, meaning less water vapour escapes.
  • THIN outer walls and THICKER inner walls make the opening and closing work
  • SENSITIVE TO LIGHT - CLOSE AT NIGHT to save water

Question 17

Question
Adaptions of the GUARD CELLS to OPEN and CLOSE PORES (STOMATA)
Answer
  • Packed with chloroplasts
  • More chloroplasts near the top of the cell so they're nearer the light
  • TALL meaning larger SURFACE AREA for ABSORBING CO2 from the air
  • THIN meaning they can be crammed tightly next to eachother at the top of the leaf
  • Special kidney-shape
  • When the plant has lots of water, the cells become TURGID so the stomata OPEN and gases can be exchanged
  • When the plant is short of water, the cells become FLACCID, making the stomata close, meaning less water vapour escapes.
  • THIN outer walls and THICKER inner walls make the opening and closing work
  • SENSITIVE TO LIGHT - CLOSE AT NIGHT to save water

Question 18

Question
Guard cells are grouped together at the top of the leaf where most of the photosynthesis happens
Answer
  • True
  • False
