Cells and genetic material

Question 1

All living things are made of?

Answer 1

Cells

Question 2

Roughly how many cells are you made of?

Answer 2

Billions

Question 3

Two kinds of cells , what are they

Answer 3

Pro-kary-otic
AND
Eu-kary-otic

Question 4

All animal and plants cells are?

Answer 4

Eukaryotic (YOU are made of eurkaryotic cells)

Question 5

All bacteria are?

Answer 5

Prokaryotic

Question 6

Prokaryotic cells are …… and …… compared to eurkaryotic ?

Answer 6

Smaller AND Simpler ( think pnuemonia)

Question 7

What chemical makes your genes(genetic material)

Answer 7

DNA

Question 8

What does DNA contain/do?

Answer 8

Contains the instructions that control what a cells does including cells development and functioning

Question 9

How do Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells differ in their storage of DNA

Answer 9

Eukaryotic- Store DNA inside Nucleus as chromosomes

Prokaryotic- Store DNA free as a loop in cytoplasm

Question 10

What is the name of the different parts of cells

Answer 10

Sub-cellular(under cell) structures or organelles (little organs )

Question 11

What are the 5 sub cellular structures of eurkaryotic cells

Answer 11

1) Nucleus
2) Cytoplasm
3) Cell membrane
4) Mitochondria
5) Ribosomes

Question 12

What is the purpose of a nucleus

Answer 12

To store Genetic Material (as DNA)

Like the Mayors office/No.10, it controls what the cell does.

Question 13

What is the purpose of cytoplasm

Answer 13

Where most chemical reactions happen

The actual land of the cell , where shit happens.

Question 14

What are the purposes of a Cell membrane

Answer 14

1) Hold the cell together
2) Controls what moves in and out of the cell

They are the border force/city limits

Question 15

What is the purpose of Mitochondria

Answer 15

The site where aerobic respiration occurs.
Contains enzymes needed for respiration.
Respiration releases energy for the cell to use.

They act as the powerhouse of the cell.

Question 16

What is the purpose of Ribosomes

Answer 16

They make proteins by joining amino acids together

They are the cell factories, building new stuff for the city to use

Question 17

What extra organelles do plant cells have

Answer 17

1) A cell wall
2) Chloroplasts
3) A large vacuole

Question 18

What is the purpose of a cell wall

Answer 18

It supports the cell and strengthens it(like a wall).

Its what keep the cell strong and harder to squish but all makes it harder/impossible to move

Question 19

What is the purpose of Chloroplasts

Answer 19

Where photosynthesis(photo=light, synthesis=making)  happens, making food for the plant 
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll - a green chemical that absorbs light 

Its another factory similar to the mitochondria.

Question 20

What is the cell wall made of

Answer 20

Cellulose(lots of glucose joined together)

Question 21

What is the purpose of Vacuoles

Answer 21

Stores cell saps- helps keep the cells shape and also store food. (its like a sugar-salt drink)

Question 22

How do prokaryotic cells store their genetic material

Answer 22

One long strand of free floating loop of DNA
Plasmids- smaller loops of extra DNA ( cheat sheet pro)

Floats in the cytoplasm

Question 23

What substructures/organelles(mini organs) do prokaryotes have

Answer 23

1) Cell membrane
2) Ribosomes
3) Cell wall
