Q

what is the function of the cell wall

A

[made of cellulose] supports the cell and strengthens it

17
Q

what is the function of the vacuole

A

contains/stores cell sap

18
Q

what is the function of the chloroplasts

A

where photosynethesis happens/photosynethesis makes food for the plant

19
Q

what subcellular structures are in bacteria

A

cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, plasmids, a single loop of dna

20
Q

why does bacteria have a single loop of dna

A

because bacteria does not have a “true” nucleus

21
Q

what is a plasmid

A

small rings of extra DNA

22
Q

give two differences in structure between bacterial cells and animal cells

A

bacteria cells do not have a mitochondria but animal cells do. bacteria cells do not have a true nucleus but animal cells do
