2A - Cell Structure And Division Flashcards
What are the two types of cell?
- Prokaryotic
* Eukaryotic
What are prokaryotic organisms made of?
Prokaryotic cells - if they are single-celled, they may BE prokaryotic cells.
What are eukaryotic organisms made of?
Eukaryotic cells
What are eukaryotic cells?
Larger, complex cells -> Found in advanced organisms such as animals
What are prokaryotic cells?
Smaller, simpler cells -> Found in basic organisms, such as bacteria
Which cell type is more basic?
Prokaryotic cells
Give some examples of eukaryotic organisms.
- Animals
- Plants
- Algae
- Fungi
Give some examples of prokaryotic cells.
• Bacteria
What are organelles?
Parts of cells with specific functions.
What are the organelles of an animal cell? (9)
- Plasma membrane
- Nucleus (+ Nucleolus + Nuclear envelope)
- Ribosome
- Mitochondria
- Cytoplasm
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- Golgi apparatus
- Lysosome
What are the organelles of a plant cell? (12)
- Plasma membrane
- Nucleus (+ Nucleolus + Nuclear envelope)
- Ribosome
- Mitochondria
- Cytoplasm
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- Golgi apparatus
- Lysosome
- Chloroplast
- Cell wall (+ Plasmodesmata)
- Vacuole
Remember to revise labelling an animal and plant cell.
Pg 24 of revision guide
What are the extra features of plant cells compared to animal cells?
- Cellulose cell wall (with plasmodesmata)
- Vacuole
- Chloroplasts
What might you also find in plant cells that is not an organelle?
Starch grains - these are just used for storage.
What is the difference between plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have all the same organelles as animals cells as well as:
• Cellulose cell wall
• Vacuole
• Chloroplasts
Are algae single-felled or multicellular?
They can be both.
How do algal cells compare to plant cells?
They are very similar and have all the same organelles.
How do fungal cells compared to plant cells?
They have all the same organelles as plant cells except:
• Cell wall is made of chitin, not cellulose
• Don’t have chloroplasts
Do organelles have membranes?
Yes, mostly - this can make them easy to confuse with entire cells.
Remember to revise labelling cell organelles.
Pg 25 of revision guide.
What is the cell-surface membrane and what is it made of?
- Membrane found on the surface of animal cells and just inside the cell wall of other cells
- Mad of lipids and proteins
What is the function of the cell surface membrane?
- Controls movement of substances in and out of cell
* Has receptor molecules to respond to chemicals (e.g. hormones)
What are the parts of the nucleus?
- Nuclear envelope
- Nucleolus
- Chromatin
What is the function of the nucleus?
- Control’s the cell’s activities
- Stores DNA which contains instructions for protein synthesis
- Nucleolus makes ribosomes
