Key Area 1: Cell Structure

Question 1

Cytoplasm

Answer 1

Fluid that fills the cell. Where the chemical reactions take place in the cell

Question 2

Mitochondria/Mitochondrion

Answer 2

Where aerobic respiration takes place and ATP is produced in the cell.

Question 3

Cell membrane

Answer 3

Controls what enters and exits the cell. Is made up of phospholipids and proteins.

Question 4

Nucleus

Answer 4

Where DNA is stored in the cell, controls everything that happens in the cell.

Question 5

Ribosome

Answer 5

Where amino acids are connected together to make proteins. Proteins have many different functions in the body.

Question 6

Sap Vacuole

Answer 6

Contains water and sugars. It helps the cell wall to keep it’s shape.

Question 7

Plasmids

Answer 7

Bacterial cells don’t have a nucleus so genes are stored in plasmids instead. These genes help the cell to function.

Answer 8

Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Mitochondrion, Ribosomes, Nucleus

Question 9

Plant cell

Answer 9

Cell wall, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Sap vacuole, Mitochondrion, Chloroplast, Ribosomes, Nucleus

Question 10

Fungal Cell

Answer 10

Cell wall, Cell membrane, nucleus, ribosome, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, vacuole

Question 11

Bacteria cell

Answer 11

Question 12

Chloroplast

Answer 12

Small green structures that our found in green plants. They are were photosynthesis takes place.

Question 13

Cell wall

Answer 13

Surrounds the cell membrane, it helps the cell to keep it’s shape.

Question 14

Cellulose

Answer 14

Makes up a plant cells, cell wall.

Question 15

Cells are the

Answer 15

basic unit of life

Question 16

Circular chromosome

Answer 16

Controls cell activities (bacteria cells only)
