16
Q

Bacteria

A

Contains no nucleus and only contains cell wall, membrane and cytoplasm

17
Q

Prokaryotic

A

A prokaryote is a single-celled organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus

18
Q

Eukaryotic

A

A Eukaryotic is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes

19
Q

Binary Fission

A

It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotic and occurs in some single-celled Eukaryotas. This is when cells split into 2 to identical cells.

20
Q

Active Transport

A

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration

21
Q

Osmosis

A

A process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one

22
Q

Diffusion

A

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

23
Q

Photosynthesis

A

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some use the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. This glucose can be converted into private which releases adenine phosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. Oxygen is also formed.

24
Q

Red blood cell

A

Transport oxygen all around your body

25
Q

White blood cell

A

Protects you from deseases

26
Q

A cell that can differentiate into any other cells by duplication.

A

Stem cells

27
Q

Is Bacteria Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic?

A

Prokaryotik

28
Q

Magnification

A

Image size / real size

29
Q

Alveolus

A

This is the thing that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide through your body.

30
Q

Specialised

A

Cells that receive extra parts to suit and make them adapt to what their purpose are.

31
Q

Palisade cell

A

Plant cell with specialized part that helps it a lot to photosynthesis
