Cell

Question 1

Cell

Answer 1

smallest unit that can carry all the processes of life

Question 2

Organelle

Answer 2

cell component that performs specific functions for the cell

Question 3

function of cell membrane

Answer 3

separate the cell organelles and cytoplasm from outside

Semi-permeable – allows some molecules freely in and out and others to enter with the assistance of an intrinsic protein

give support to the cell

Question 4

Nucleus

Answer 4

Large organelle near the centre of the cell

contains the cell’s genetic information(DNA)

Controls the activities of the cell

Question 5

Mitochondria

Answer 5

supplies energy to the cell in a process known as respiration

inner membrane of mitochondria produce the energy

Question 6

Ribosome

Answer 6

makes protein mad up of RNA (Protein synthesis)

Question 7

Cytoplasm

Answer 7

clear jelly like substance that fills the cell

contains the organelles

medium for metabolism

gives shape (Hydroskeleton)

Question 8

Plant cells also contain

Answer 8

cell wall

chloroplast (Photosynthesis)

Large vacuoles

Question 9

Cell Wall

Answer 9

rigid and gives plant cells a very defined shape

composed of cellulose fibre, polysaccharide and protein

It supports and strengthens the cell

Question 10

Vacuoles

Answer 10

membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm

provide structural support, as well as serving a function of storage, waste disposal and protection

Question 11

Eukaryotic

Answer 11

Organism whose cells contain a nucleus and and other membrane bound organelles ie. Plant cell

Question 12

Prokaryotic

Answer 12

Organism whose cells do not contain a nucleus or have membrane-bound organelles ie. bacteria
