Eukayotes Flashcards
What are the eukaryotic kingdoms?
Animals, plants, fungi and protists
What distinguishes an eukaryote?
They have a proper nucleus
What two types of Protista are there?
Ciliates (with cilia - small hair all around the outer surface)
Flagellates (with flagellum - one or more long tail, in the front of the organism)
What organelles does a plant cell contain?
Cell wall. Lysosomes. Nucleus
Rough ER. Vacuole Cell membrane
Smooth ER. Golgi apparatus
Ribosomes. Chloroplasts/plastids
Cytoplasm Mitochondria
What is the cell wall made up of?
Cellulose (a polysaccharide - many sugars put together)
Are plants heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Autotrophic
What does it mean to be autotrophic?
To be able to make your own food using an energy source from your physical environment.
What does it mean to be heterotrophic?
To have to engulf another living or previously living organism in order to receive energy.
Are animals heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Heterotrophic
Are fungi heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Heterotrophic
What organelles does animal and fungi cells contain?
Cell membrane. Centrioles Cytoplasm. Lysosomes Nucleus. Mitochondria Rough ER. Golgi apparatus Smooth ER. Ribosomes
What type of cell is bigger: plant or animal cell?
Plant cells are usually bigger.
Name some differentiated animal cells!
Bone cells
Muscle cells
Nervous cells
Heart cells
What are the stomata cells?
They are cells in plants that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to enter and leave the organism. They are located on the downside of the leaf. They are only open when it is humid and sunny.
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water + sunlight —–> oxygen + glucose
6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) + sunlight —–> 6O2 (g) + C6H12O6 (s)
What will the glucose be synthesized to?
Starch, amylose or cellulose fibers
How does cells receive energy?
Through respiration.
What is the formula for respiration?
Glucose + oxygen —–> ATP + carbon dioxide + water
C6H12O6 (s) + 6O2 (g) —–> ATP + 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l)
Where does respiration take place?
In the mitochondria.
