Bacterial cell
How do you calculate the length and breadth of individual cells when given the diameter of the field of view?
Diameter of field of view / number of cells in field of view
What is the function of the central vacuole?
It stores water and solutes as cell sap and regulates water content by osmosis

What is the function of the ribosomes?
It is the site of protein synthesis
What cells can ribosomes be found in?
Plant cell
Animal cell
Fungal cell
Bacterial cell
What is the function of the central chromosome?
It controls cell activities and transfers genetic information from cell to cell
What cells can the central chromosome be found in?
Bacterial cell
Name the structures in a bacterial cell
cell wall cell membrane circular chromosome cytoplasm plasmid ribosome
What are cell walls made from?
Plant cell walls are made from cellulose
fungal and bacterial cell walls are made of different materials to the plant cell wall
How do you calculate the total magnification when using a microscope?
eyepiece lens magnification x objective lens magnificarion
What is the function of the plasmid?
It controls cell activities and transfers genetic information from cell to cell
What cells can the plasmid be found in?
