Q

What does the vacuole do?

A

Contains cell sap (made of sugars and salts) which support the cells

14
Q

What does the chloroplast do?

A

Contains the green pigment chlorophyll, which captures sunlight needed for photosynthesis, which makes food (glucose)

15
Q

What does the cell wall do?

A

Made of cellulose in plants and chitin in fungi, it surrounds the cell membrane, supporting the cell and strengthening it

16
Q

What does the DNA do?

A

The cells gentetic material that controls what teh cell does

17
Q

What does the plasmid do?

A

A piece of circular DNA carrying additional genetic material

18
Q

What is a pathogen?

A

A micro organism that causes disease

19
Q

What is a specialised cell?

A

A cell with a particular structure or feature that allows it to carry out a particular job more effectively

20
Q

How are mitochondria adapted in a specialised cell?

A

Many mitochondria results in lots of energy released

21
Q

How are ribosomes adapted in a specialised cell?

A

Lots of ribosomes can result in lots of proteins being synthesised

22
Q

How are chloroplasts adapted in a specialised cell?

A

Many chloroplasts results in lots of photosynthesis

23
Q

How is the nucleus adapted in a specialised cell?

A

No nucleus results in more room for the oxygen carrying compound hemoglobin
