B2 Flashcards
What Are the differences between plant and animal cells
Plant and agal cells contain all the structures seen in animal cells as well as a cell wall,. Many plant cells also contain chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole filled with sap
Name the structures found in animal and or plant cell and their uses
The nucleus controls all the activities of the cell, it contains the genes and chromosomes.
The cytoplasm is a liquid gel in which most of the chemical reactions needed fro life take place
the cell membrane controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell
The mitochondria are structures in the cytoplasm where oxygen is used and most of the energy is released during respiration
Ribosomes are where protein synthesis takes place. All the proteins needed for the cell are made here
A cell wall is made of cellulose that strengthens the cell and gives it support
Chloroplasts are found in the green parts of the plant. They are used for photosynthesis, root cells do not contain them
A permanent vacuole is a space in the cytoplasm filled with cell sap. This is important for keeping the cell rigid and supporting the plant
What does a bacteria cell contain?
A cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall. These genes are not in a distinctnucleus
What is yeast?
Yeast is a single celled organism, each cell has a nucleus, cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall
Give some examples of specialised cells
fat cells, root cell, sperm cells and cone cells
What does a fat cell contain?
A nucleus , fat store, mitochondria and cytoplasm
What is diffusion?
Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area where they are at a high concentration to an area where they are at a lower concentration, the greater the difference in concentration, the faster the rate of diffusion
What is a tissue?
A group of cells with similar structures and function
What are organ systems?
They are a group of organs that perform a particular function eg, the digestive system
What is the digestive system?
The digestive system in a mammal is an organ system were substances are exchanged with the environment
Give some examples of plant organs
Roots, leaves and stems
What are the similarities in a human cell and animal cell?
They both contain a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes
What are the parts of the cell that moct cells have and what are the purposes?
The nucleus controls the cells activities
Cytoplasms are where chemical reactions take place
A cell membrane is something that controls the movements of materials in and out of the cell
Mitochondria is where energy is released during aerobic respiration
rimosomes are where protein. synthesis takes llace
What do plants and agal cells have that animal cells dont
A rigid cell wall made of cellulose for support
Chloroplasts that contain chlorophill for photosynthesis, the chloroplasts absorb light energy to make food
a permament vacuole. containing cell sap
What are the different
ces between plants and algae
Algae are simple aquatic organisms which have many features similar to plant cells
Where is the genetic material in bacteria and why
in the cytoplasm because they dont contain nucleus
What do bacteria form when they multiply
bacterial colonies
what do yeact cells have?
a nucheus, cytoplasm, membrane and a cell wall
Why might a cell need alot lf energy?
because it contains alot of mitochondria
what would the effect of having alot lf ribosomes have on a cell
it would make alot of protein
What are receptor cells
cells that have simple structures which enable them to. detect stimuli eg the cone cells in the eye are light sensitive
what are neurons specialised to do
carry impulses from the receptors to the CNS
what do leaf cells need alot of chloroplasts
to photosynthesise
why do. root cells of. a plant contain root hair cells?
So that they can get water and mineral ions effectively
What is diffusion?
The soreading out of particles of a gas or of any substance in solution
What does. the net movement into or out of cells depend on?
the concerntration of the particles on each side of the cell membrane, because the particles move randomly, there will be a net movement from an area of high concerntratikn to an area of lower concerntration
what is the difference in concerntration between two areas called
the concerntration gradient
How does the dofference in concerntration effect the rate of difusion
the larger the difference, the faster the rate of difusion
what happens to the cells during the development of multicellular organisms
they differentiate
what is a tissue of cells?
a group of cells with similar structure structureand function.
What do animal tissues include?
muscle tissue, which can ckntract and bring about movement
glandular tissue to produce substances such. as enzymes or hormones
epithelial tissue which covers some partf of the body
What do plant tissues contain
Epidermal tissues which covers the plant
mesophyll which can photosynthesise
xylem and pholem which covers some larts of the body
what is the stomach made up of
muscular tissues to churn the stomach contents
glandular tissues to produce digestkve juices
epithermal tissues to cover the outside and inside of the stomach
what do the leaf, stem and roots all contain?
epidermal tissue, mesophyll, xylem and pholem
what is an organ system
a group of organs formed to perform a particular function
name an organ system
the digestive system
what do insoluble molecules do and why
change the foor we eat to soluble molecules because only then they can be absorbed into the blood
what does the digestion system include and what are the functions
glands, such as the pancreas and salivary glands which produce digestive juices
the stomach and small intestines where digestion occours
the liver which produces bile
the small intestine where the absorption of soluble food occurs
the large intestine where water is absorbed from the undigested food, producing faeces
What does chlorophyll do
ansorbes the sun light energy
what is the word equation
carbon dioxide+water – +light energy —> glucose +oxygen
what is the process of photosynthesis
Carbkn dioxide ks taken in by the leaves, amd water is taken up by the roots
The chlorophyll traps the light energy needed fro photosynthesis
This energy is used to convert the carbon dioxide and water into glucose(a sugar)
oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis and soem lf the glucose is converted into insoluble starch for storage
give a example of a limiting factor
a lack of light would slow down photosynthesis as light provides the energy for the process
