Q

Name the features and functions of mitochondrion

A
  • where respiration occurs
  • where special protein molecules (enzymes) enable glucose and oxygen to react together
  • this transfers vital energy to the organism

16
Q

What are receptor molecules?

A

These send a signal to nerve cells when stimulated

17
Q

What extra sub cellular structures do plant cells need?

A
  • A cell wall
  • chloroplasts
  • vacuole
18
Q

What do chloroplasts contain?

A

Chlorophyll

19
Q

What does chlorophyll do?

A

Transfer energy from the Sun to the plant as light (used in photosynthesis)

20
Q

What parts of the plant are chloroplasts in?

A

Only the green parts

Leaves

21
Q

What is a cell wall?

A
  • surrounds the cell
  • supports the cell
  • makes the plant rigid and stable
22
Q

What is a cell wall in plant cells made of?

A

A tough fibre called cellulose

23
Q

What does the vacuole do?

A
  • Helps the cell stay rigid
  • supporting the plant
  • keeping it upright
24
Q

What is the vacuole filled with?

A

A watery solution of sugars and salts

25
Q

Why do root cells not need chloroplasts?

A

They do not need access to the sun and can get nutrients from the soil surrounding it

26
Q

Are algae eukaryotic or prokaryotic?

A

Eukaryotic
