B1 and B2 Flashcards
What is the formula for magnification?
Magnification = image size/real size
Image size= real size x magnification
Real size= image size/magnification
What is the magnification of a microscope that sees a 0.4 mm cell that is seen as an 80 mm image?
x 200
(80/0.4)
What is the size of the image produced when a 0.1mm cell is magnified by 400?
40 mm
(0.1 X 400)
A nucleus is measured 0.005 mm in diameter. How many micrometers is this?
5 micrometers
(0.005 x 1000)
Arrange thise structures in order of size, largest first:
bacterium
liver cell
nucleus
ribosome
- liver cell
- nucleus
- bacterium
- ribosome
What are the parts of the animal cell?
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
- Cell membrane
- Mitchondria
- Ribosomes
What is the function of the nucleus?
It controls the activities of the cell and contains the genetic material
What is the function of the cytoplasm?
This is where most of the chemical reactions take place.
What is the function of the cell membrane?
It controls the passage of stubstances into and out of the cell.
What is the function of the mitochondria?
This is where aerobic respiration takes place. (energy is made)
What is the function of the Ribosomes?
This is where proteins are synthesesised (made).
What are the parts of the plant cell?
All the parts of the animal cell +
- Cell wall
- Permanent vacuole
- Chloroplasts (apart from root cells)
What is the function of the cell wall?
It is made out of cellulose which strengthens the cell
What is the function of the permanent vacuole?
It is fill with cell sap which supports the plant.
What is the functions of the chloroplasts?
They absorb light to make food (glucose) by photosynthesis.
Why do root cell have no chlorplasts?
Because the roots don’t receive any sun light
What are eurokaryotic cells?
plant, animal and fungal cells
What are prokaryotic cells?
Bacteria cells
What are the difference between the two types of cell?
Prokaryotic cells are:
- simpler and smaller in size
- no nucleus with genetic material
- genetic material is in DNA loops called plasmids
- no mitochondria or chloroplasts
- They come in different shapes (spiral, rod, spherical)
What are the parts of a typical bacterial cell?
- Cell wall
- cytoplasm
- Plasmid DNA
- Chromosomal DNA
- Flagella
What is the function of Flagella?
They are tail like structure that move the bacteria
Where is DNA found in a bacterium?
Floating free in the cytoplasm
