Cell Characteristics (DOLT) Flashcards
1
Q
Plant cells
A
Rectangular
Cell membrane and cell wall
Chloroplasts
2
Q
Animal cells
A
Oval/blob shape
Cell membrane
Centrioles
3
Q
Cell walls
A
Animalia- no cell walls Eubacteria- sugars, proteins, peptidoglycan Archaebacteria- sugars, proteins Protists- cellulose Fungi- chitin Plants- cellulose
4
Q
Eukaryotic cells
A
Membrane bound organelles Organized nucleus Chromosomes (more than 1 copy) DNA bound to proteins in linear structures 10-100 micrometers
5
Q
Prokaryotic cells
A
No organized nucleus or membrane bound organelles Nucleoid- in center of cell where DNA is DNA is not bound to proteins All have cell walls 0.1-0.5 micrometers
6
Q
Ribosomes
A
Produce proteins
7
Q
Genetic material
A
Chromosomes- what cells organize DNA into
8
Q
Reproduction
A
Sexual- 2 parents (2 organisms provide genetic material for offspring)
Asexual- 1 parent
9
Q
Binary fission
A
Similar to mitosis
Parent cell divides into 2 daughter cells
Usually prokaryotes
10
Q
Conjugation
A
Prokaryotic cell transfers genetic material to another cell through direct contact
Some bacteria can do it
Don’t use chromosomes
