Biology Flashcards
Prokaryotic cell
A cell with no true nucleus or nuclear membrane
Magnification
The number of times larger the image appears compared to the actual size of the object being viewed
Organelle
Specialised structures within a living cell
Resolution
Ability to distinguish. Retrench objects close together
Nucleus
Organelle found in a cell which contains genetic information
Mitochondria
Organelle where aerobic respiration occurs
Chloroplast
Plant organelle where the stages of photosynthesis occurs.
Eukaryotic cells
Membrane bound organelle
Complementary base pairing
The way bases pair together
RNA
Long chains of nucleotides
Turgor
Rigidity of plant cells due to pressure of cell contents on the cell wall
Water potential
Measure of the shill of water molecules to move in a solution
Genetic
Related to heredity and variation
Gametes
Sex cells
Haemogloblin
Carries oxygen to the body from the lungs and sends co2 back to the lungs
Pathogen
Microorganism that causes disease
Ciliates cells
Cells with hair like structures
Lumen
Space inside the structure
Artery
Blood vessel which carries blood away from the heart
Sacrolemma
Cell membrane of a strained muscle cell
Myofibril
Basic red shape unit of muscle cells
ATP
Energy used for respiration
Aerobic respiration
Respiration with oxygen
Hydrolyse
Chemical reaction. Breaking down with water
