16
Q

Membrane functions

A

Retain cell contents
Recognize molecules that touch them
Control what enters + leaves
Give some support to cell

17
Q

Nucleus

A

Contains DNA

The control centre of the cell

18
Q

DNA

A

Arranged into chromosomes

19
Q

Genes

A

Located along chromosomes
Inform the cell how to make certain proteins
Control no. of fingers, colour of eyes, production of enzymes etc.

20
Q

Chromatin

A

Chromosomes that are elongated and not dividing

21
Q

Nuclear pores

A

Allow mRNA (messenger RNA) to pass in and out of the nucleus

22
Q

Nucleolus (plr. Nucleoli)

A

An area in the nucleus that stains very darkly
Makes ribosomes

23
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Jelly-like liquid that surrounds the nucleus
Organelles are dispersed through the cytoplasm (mitochondria, chloroplast, ribosomes)

24
Q

Mitochondria

A

Supply energy to cell
Surrounded by double membrane, energy is released on the inner membrane
More infoldings = more energy

25
Q

Cell walls (plants only)

A

Made of cellulose
Fully permeable, all molecules can pass through
Support and strengthen the cell

26
Q

Ribosomes

A

Makes proteins
Tiny structures made of RNA and protein
Combine amino acids to make proteins

27
Q

Prokaryotic cells

A

Dont have a nucleus or membrane-enclosed organelles

28
Q

Prokaryotic cells traits

A

Single-celled
Have a circular loop of DNA (not surrounded by membrane)
Have small cells
No membranes and enclosed structures like mitochondria and chloroplast
Include bacteria

29
Q

Eukaryotic cells

A

Have a nucleus and cell organelles, all of which are enclosed by membranes

30
Q

Eukaryotic traits

A

Have a nucleus (DNA is enclosed)
May have mitochondria and chloroplast
Have large cells
Include animals, plants, and fungi
Are more advanced
