Cells

Question 1

Cytoplasms

Answer 1

All organelles are suspended in cytoplasm

Mostly water with other substances the cell stored until needed can change from jelly to liquid

Question 2

Cell theory

Answer 2

1. All living things are made up of one or more cells and their products
2. Simplest unit that can carry out all life processes
3. Come from other cells not non living things

Question 3

Prokaryotes

Answer 3

Simple, single celled

No nucleus or other membrane bound organelles

Question 4

Eukaryote

Answer 4

Have a complex internal organization

Has a nucleus

Question 5

Cell membranes

Answer 5

Semi permeable
Flexible and double layered
Supports the cell and allows some substances to enter while keeping others out

Question 6

Nucleus

Answer 6

“Brain”

Contains genetic info that controls all cell activities ( genetic info stored in chromosomes ) contains DNA (carries coded instructions)

Question 7

Mitochondria

Answer 7

Makes energy available for the cell

Contains enzymes that help with cellular respiration

Question 8

Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 8

“Subway system”

3D network of branching tubes and pocket fluid filled tubes transport materials such as proteins through the cell

Question 9

Golgi body

Answer 9

Collects and processes materials to o be removed from the cell
Makes and secretes mucus

Question 10

Vacuoles

Answer 10

Single layer of membrane enclosing fluid
Functions include removing unwanted substances from the cell and maintaining internal fluid pressure (turgor) within the cell

Question 11

Cell wall

Answer 11

Provides support for the cell and protection from physical injuries

Question 12

Chloroplasts

Answer 12

Gives green colour to plants and helps with photosynthesis

Question 13

Vacuole (plants)

Answer 13

When full of water, turgor pressure keeps the cells plump and keeps stems and leaves firm
