Q

What are chloroplasts and why do plants have them?

A

Plants need to make their own food, so some of their cells contain chloroplasts which absorb light to make food ( glucose ) by photosynthesis

Q

What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

A

Eukaryotic cells contain their genetic material enclosed in nucleus

Prokaryotic cells DO NOT contain their genetic material in nucleus. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller

Q

What are the mitochondria and chloroplasts roles taken over by in a bacteria cell?

A

Cytoplasm

17
Q

What is meant by flagella?

A

There may be one or more flagella, which are tail-like structures that move the bacterium

18
Q

What is meant by plasmid DNA?

A

A small, commonly circular, section of DNA that can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA. Plasmids also allow bacteria cells to move genes from one cell to another

19
Q

What is different about the cell wall of a bacteria cell?

A

Is not made up of cellulose

20
Q

What is meant by chromosomal DNA?

A

The DNA of bacteria is not found within a nucleus and is usually found as one long, looped chromosome
