Q

what do bacteria cell not have the plant cells do

A

nucleus, mitochondria, permanent vacuole, chloroplast

20
Q

what is the difference in shape of plant and animal cells

A

animal- irregular
plant- regular

21
Q

what is the difference in the type of vacuole animal and plant cells have

A

animal- small, temporary
plant- large, permanent, central

22
Q

how do bacteria reproduce

A

binary fission

23
Q

how doe binary fission work

A
  1. the original bacteria cell expands to a critical length and a copy of the DNA is synthesized ( DNA replication)
    [DNA is copied so that the number of loops in the daughter cells are identical to the original cell]
  2. Daughters cells are formed- genetically identical to the original cell (clones)
24
Q

define generation time

A

time taken for each cell to divide into 2

25
what are the specialised cells (7)
Red blood cells, Ciliated cells, Palisade mesophyll cells, Root hair cells, Sperm cells, Egg cells, Neuron cells
26
what does the red blood cell do
transport oxygen
27
what does the ciliated cells do
movement of mucus in the trachea and bronchi
28
what does the palisade mesophyll cells do
trap light for photosynthesis
29
what does the root hair cells do
absorption of water and minerals
30
what does the sprem cells do
reproduction
31
what does the egg cells do
reproduction
32
what does the Neuron cells do
conduction of electrical impulses
33
what are the specialised parts in a red blood cell
- no nucleus - cytoplasm contains haemoglobin - bi- concave shape
34
what are the specialised parts in a ciliated cell
- cilia (layers of tiny hair)
35
what are the specialised parts in a palisade mesophyll cell
-many chloroplast - starch -column shaped
36
what are the specialised parts in a root hair cell
- increases surface area -thin cell walls
37
what are the specialised parts in a sperm cell
- acrosome - head -mid piece -flagellum (tail)
38
what are the specialised parts in a egg cell
-haploid - cytoplasm -cell membrane
39
what are the specialised parts in a neuron cell
- dendrites - myelin (fatty sheath) -very long
40
how dose the specialised parts in red blood cell help
-no nucleus - allows more room for haemoglobin -cytoplasm - contains haemoglobin (protein which carries oxygen molecules) -bi- concave shape - increases surface for faster absorption of oxygen
41
how dose the specialised parts in ciliated cells help
-cilia - move and push mucus - transports trapped dust and microbes
42
how dose the specialised parts in palisade mesophyll cells help
-many chloroplast - have chlorophyll and enzymes to make glucose by photosynthesis - for most light absorption for photosynthesis -starch - stores carbohydrates in cytoplasm -column shape - max absorption of light - fit as many as possible in the leaf
43
how dose the specialised parts in root hair cell help
-increased surface area - mas absorption of water and minerals -thin cell walls - water moves through quickly (faster absorption)
44
how dose the specialised parts in sperm cell help
-acrosome - has digestive enzymes to penetrate egg - head - has haploid - contains genetic information - has 23 chromosomes - mid piece - has lots mitochondria to release energy to swim and fertalise egg -flagellum - helps sperm to swim to egg
45
how dose the specialised parts in egg cell help
-haploid - contains genetic information - has 23 chromosomes -cytoplasm - has nutrients for growth of early embryo - cell membrane - changes after fertalisation by a single sperm cell to prevent more than 1 sperm entering
46
how dose the specialised parts in neuron cells
- dendrites - communicates with other cells - myelin (fatty sheath) - speeds up impulses -very long - rapid transmition over a long distance
47
how does change in shape of red blood cell change its function
-less surface area -less oxygen transported
