Q

what is a chloroplast?

A

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis

17
Q

what is a mitochondria

A

Mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration

18
Q

what is a ribosome?

A

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis

19
Q

what is different about a bacterial cell?

A

plasmids are present in bacterial cells, plasmids hold some of the genetic information (DNA)

20
Q

what are living organisms and cells?

A

The bodies of living organisms are made up of cells. Living organisms are either uni cellular or multi cellular. Organisms can be divided into groups. These include animal, plants, fungi and bacterial.

21
Q

animal cell

A

animal cells are surrounded by a cell membrane and contain a nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria

22
Q

Plant cells

A

Plant cells have a cell wall, (cellulose) cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, vacuole, ribosomes mitochondria and green plant cells have chloroplasts

23
Q

Fungal cells

A

Fungal cells have a cell membrane, cell wall, vacuole, nucleus, ribosomes, nucleus and mitochondria

24
Q

Bacterial cells

A

Bacterial cells have a cell wall, membrane, cytoplasm, plasmids and ribosomes but no organelles

25
Q

aerobic respiration

A

aerobic respiration is the release of energy from food by a cell using oxygen

26
Q

Bacterial cell definition

A

a tiny individual cell of a bacterium

27
Q

cellulose

A

Structural carbohydrate if which plant cells are composed

28
Q

staining cells

A

cell ultrastructures can appear transparent under the microscope so stains are used to make cell structures more obvious by making them darker. iodine soloution and methlyne blue are examples of stains

29
