Cell Structure Flashcards
where can the cell wall be found?
plant, fungal and bacterial cells.
where can you find the mitochondria be found?
animal, plant and fungal cells.
where can you find chloroplasts?
only in plant cells- only cells able to do photosynthesis.
where can you find cell membranes?
in all cells- animal, plant, fungal and bacterial cells.
where can you find cytoplasm?
in all cells- animal, plant, bacterial and fungal cells.
where can you find sap vacuole?
only in plant and fungal cells.
where can you find a nucleus?
only in animal, plant and fungal cells. it is not in a bacterial cells because they have naked single circular chromosomes.
where can you find ribosomes?
in all cells- animals, plant, fungal and bacterial.
where can you find plasmids?
only in bacterial cells- extra circular pieces of DNA.
state the function of cell wall.
it provides the cell with a rigid shape and structure.
state the function of mitochondria.
it is the site of aerobic respiration.
state the function of chloroplasts.
chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis.
state the function of cell membrane.
cell membrane controls the entry and exits of materials.
state the function of cytoplasm.
cytoplasm are the site of chemical reactions.
state the function of the sap vacuole.
sap vacuole is the store of water.
state the function of nucleus.
the nucleus contain genetic information (DNA) and controls most cell activities.
state the function of ribosomes.
ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
state the function of plasmids.
plasmids are extra pieces of DNA found in bacterial cells.
what are the similarities of plant, bacterial, fungal and bacterial cells?
animal, plant and fungal cells all have: cell membranes, cytoplasm, a nucleus, mitochondria and ribosomes.
what are the differences of plant, bacterial, fungal and bacterial cells.
only plant and fungal cells have a cell wall and a sap vacuole, animal cells do not.
only plant cells have chloroplasts.
what are the main structures only found in plant cells? what are their functions?
only plant cells contain chloroplasts.
these organelles contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis a process that only plant cells can carry out.
what are they key structures used to identify bacterial cells?
- they have no nucleus and no membrane bound organelles (no mitochondria, chloroplasts or vacuoles)
-their DNA is found ‘naked’ as a single large circular chromosomes and many small circular plasmids.
compare the locations of chromosomes in animal, plant, fungal and bacterial cells.
- animal cell chromosomes are in the nucleus.
- plant cell chromosomes are in the nucleus.
- fungal cell chromosomes are in the nucleus.
- bacterial cell chromosomes are in the cytoplasm.
compare the structure of chromosomes in animal, plant, fungal and bacterial cells.
- animal cell chromosomes are linear structured.
- plant cell chromosomes are linear structured.
- fungal cell chromosomes are linear structured.
- bacterial cell chromosomes are circular structured.
