🔑 Biology - Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Flashcards
Ribosomes 🏭
To synthesise proteins (to make proteins)
Cell membrane 🚪
Controls what exits and enters the cell.
Cytoplasm
Where most chemical reactions occur
Nucleus 🧠
Controls cell function and contains the genetic material.
Mitochondria ☢️
Where aerobic respiration takes place
Cell wall
Made of cellulose to strengthen the cell
Vacuole
Filled with cell sap, to support the plant.
Chloroplast ☀️
Contains chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight to make food by photosynthesis.
What domain are plants and animals in?
Eukaryotic
What domain is a bacterial cell in?
Prokaryotic
Name the features of a plant cell (8).
Cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole, ribosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, nucleus.
Name the features of a bacterial cell (9).
Plasmid DNA, nucleoid/chromosomal DNA, flagellum/flagella, cytoplasm, cell wall
capsule, pili, ribosomes, plasma membrane
Name the features of an animal cell (5).
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes.
Name three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
1) Eukaryotic cells have genetic material enclosed in a nucleus whilst prokaryotic cell do not.
2) Prokaryotic cells have genetic material as a single DNA loop with sometimes small rings of DNA (plasmids)
3) Prokaryotic cells have no mitochondria whilst eukaryotic cells have mitochondria.
Name a plant cell that does not have chloroplasts and why.
Root cells - because they do not receive any light. Their function is to
