cells and cell division Flashcards
What are the 3 parts of cell theory?
- Cells are the basic functional and structural units of life
- All the cells come from pre-existing cells
- All living things are made from one or more cells or from products of cells
Cell types…
(with an example)
Prokaryote cells (bacteria)
Eukaryotic cells (plant and animals)
Characteristics of a prokaryote cell
No nucleus
No membrane bound organelles (no mitrochondria)
Single circular chromosome
Plasmid
Draw and label a prokaryotic cell
answer on page 6
What is the mesosome in a prokaryote cell?
site of aerobic cellular respiration
Aerobic cellular respiration definition
the release of energy from glucose in the presence of oxygen
What does the plasmid and single chromosome do in a prokaryotic cell?
controls cellular function by coding for proteins
Where can we find DNA in a prokaryote cell?
cytosol
What do SOME prokaryote cells have?
EXAMPLES
additional structures
Flagella - a hairlike appendage that protrudes motility
Pili - short, hairlike structures on the cell surface
Draw a Eukaryote cell
ANIMAL
see page 8
Characteristics of eukaryote cell
contains a nucleus
membrane bound organelles (mitochondria)
multiple linear chromosomes in the nucleus
DEF for plasma membrane
regulates inputs and outputs of the cell
DEF for cytosol
fluid part of the cell where some chemical reactions occur
DEF for nucleus
contains DNA which cellular functions by coding for protein
What do multiple linear chromosomes do in eukaryote cells?
The DNA is stored in the nucleus which has multiple linear chromosomes
DEF ribosomes
site of protein synthesis
What is the specific ribosome number for a eukaryote cell?
80s ribosomes
What is the specific ribosome number for prokaryotic cells?
70s ribosomes
QUESTION - compare two differences between the bacterium E.coli and a muscle cell.
(2 marks)
A bacterium E.coli lacks a nucleus WHEREAS a muscle cell contains a nucleus
A bacterium E.coli cell lacks a membrane bound organelles WHEREAS muscle cells contain membrane bound organelles
QUESTION ON THE TOP OF PAGE 15 - Justify whether the following is a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell.
(2 marks)
Eukaryotic cell as this cell contains a nucleus WHEREAS prokaryotic cells do not. This cell also contains membrane bound organelles WHEREAS prokaryotic cells do not
QUESTION - List all of the organelles that needed to be included in the drawing of a bacteria
Cell wall
Plasma Membrane
70s ribosomes
Cytosol
Single circular chromosome
plasmid
mesosome
What is the structure that surrounds the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell?
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Compare the DNA in a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.
Prokaryotic cells have DNA as a single circular chromosome and plasmid WHEREAS Eukaryotic cells have multiple linear chromosomes
Eukaryotic cells have DNA stored in the nucleus WHEREAS prokaryotic cells have DNA stored in the cytosol
