1- Variety Of Living Organisms Flashcards
Give 4 details of Plants cells
Multicellular
Have chloroplasts (for photosynthesis
Have cellulose cell walls
Store carbohydrates as starch or sucrose
What do animal cells store carbohydrates as?
Glycogen
Give two examples of fungi
Mucor and yeast
Give 5 details of Fungi cells
Organised into mycelium made from hyphae (which contain many nuclei)
Can be single/ multicellular
Cell wall as are made of chitin
Feed by saprotrophic nutrition (secrete digestive enzymes onto their food)
May Store carbohydrates as glycogen
Describe protoctists (use two examples to help)
Amoeba- like an animal cell
Chlorella- has chloroplasts more like a plant cell
Give 4 details of Bacteria cells
Have cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, plasmids
No nucleus
Contains circular chromosome of DNA
Some photosynthesise
Give 4 details about Viruses
Parasitic (can only reproduce inside living cells)
No cellular structure,
have a protein coat
Contain either RNA or DNA (a nucleic acid)
Explain the function of ribosomes
