Q

Why are electron microscopes ideal for observing very small structures

A

As electrons are invisible the images are often converted to an image on the screen. They produce very clear images

Q

Name two types of electron microscopes

A

A transmission electron microscope (TEM) sends a beam of electrons through a thin section of the specimen. This shows the internal structure of the specimen in great detail.
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) uses a beam of electrons to provide a surface view of the specimen.

Q

Name four function of membranes

A
  1. Retain the cell contents
  2. Recognise molecules that touch them
  3. Controls what enters and leaves the cell (semi-permeable membrane)
  4. Give some support to the cell

Q

In a membrane protein molecules are completely or partially fixed in the phospholipid bilayer……where are they then

A

Some are attached to the bilayer others are detachable and can move through the bilayer

Q

what happens when a cell is not dividing 

A

They are very elongated and interwoven. in this form they are called chromatin

21
Q

Chromatin

A

The name given to chromosomes when they are not dividing and elongated

22
Q

What is the nucleolus

A

The nucleolus is an area of the nucleus that stains very darkly
It makes ribosomes

23
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Many of the reactions in a cell take place here

24
Q

Describe the cytoplasm

A

Jellylike liquid that surrounds the nucleus

25
What are suspended in the cytoplasm
A number of small bodies called Organelles Such as  Mitochondria, chloroplast and ribosomes
26
What is all the living parts of a cell called
 Protoplasm
27
What is the protoplasm made up of
The nucleus and the surrounding cytoplasm
28
Mitochondria
Supplying energy to the cell and are the sites of respiration
29
What do cells with many mitochondria produce
lots of energy- Muscle, liver in animals, meristems in plants
30
What do cells with few mitochondria produce?
Less energy- fat in humans, ground tissue in plants
31
What are mitochondria surrounded by?
A double membrane
32
Where is energy released in the mitochondria?
On The inner membrane, especially the infoldings
33
The more infoldings that are present, (finish the sentence)
The greater the surface area for cellular respiration, which results in the production of greater quantities of energy
34
Each mitochondrion has its own loop of ( finish the sentence)
DNA
35
Chloroplast
Green structures in plants in which photosynthesis takes place
36
What are chloroplasts surrounded by?
Double membranes
37
Name two things that a chloroplast has
-Membrane stacks, which contains the green pigment chlorophyll - A loop of DNA
38
Cell wall
Support and strengthen the cell
39
What are plant cell walls made of?
Cellulose (which is a structural polysacchoride). They are fully permeable which means all molecules can pass through cell walls
40
Animal Points to learn
The protoplasm is all the living parts of the cell.it is made up of the nucleus and the surrounding cytoplasm The cytoplasm is the living material in a cell outside the nucleus Many of the reactions in acell take place in a cytoplasm
41
Plant cell points to learn
The vacuole helps to give the cell strength an shape and may also store materials Vacuoles contain a fluid called cell sap this is a solution of salts, sugars and pigments
42
What are cells that do not have a nucleus or all membrane called
Prokaryotic cells
43
Prokaryotic Cells features- 5 points
Are single-celled Have a circular loop of DNA (not surrounded by a membrane) Have small cells Do not have membrane and enclosed structures such as mitochondria and chloroplasts Include bacteria
44
Eukaryotic cells
I have a nucleus in the cell organelles all of which are enclosed by membranes
45
Enkaryatic cells - 5 points
Have a nucleus May have membrane-enclosed organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts Have large cells Include animal, plants and fungi Ave more advanced than prokaryotes
46
What are cells
The basic units of a structure and function in an organism
47
Organelle
A cell component that reforms specific functions for the cell
48
Difference between animal and plant cells
Animals cells Have small vacuoles generally No cells wall No chloroplast Plant cells Have cell wall Large central vacuole Have chloroplast (chlorophyll)
