Q

Why do animal and plant cells replicate

A

To grow
To replace dead cells

24
Q

How many types of cells do humans have

A

Hundreds of

25
Q

How many cells does an adult have

A

over 40 trillion

26
Q

What are sub-cellular structures

A

Structures found inside a cell
Etc. nucleus, ribosomes, chloroplasts

27
Q

What is another name for sub-cellular structures

A

Organelles

28
Q

What is the role of the cell membrane

A

To control what substances pass in and out of the cell

29
Q

What is the role of the nucleus

A

Contains the genetic material/ DNA for the cell and therefore has overall control of the cell

30
Q

What is the role of cytoplasm

A

A jelly like substance that fills the cell acting as a place for all other sub-cellular structures to sit in
Where chemical reactions take place

31
Q

What is the role of mitochondria

A

Provides the cells with the energy they need to function

  • breaks down sugars (glucose) in a process called aerobic respiration releasing energy for cell to use
32
Q

What is the role of Ribosomes

A

Site of protein synthesis
Where proteins are made

33
Q

What sub-cellular structures do both animal and plant cells have in common?

A
  • cell membrane
  • nucleus
  • cytoplasm
  • mitochondria
  • ribosomes
34
Q

What is the role of the cell wall

A
  • rigid cell walls
  • made up of cellulose

Cellulose is really strong and provides support and structure to the cell to prevent it from shrinking or bursting

35
Q

What is the role of a permanent vacuole

A

A bug sack containing cell sap which is a mixture of sugars, salts and water that the cell can use when it needs to

36
Q

What is the role of chloroplasts

A
  • has a green pigment called chlorophyll

Used for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen

37
Q

What colour is chlorophyll

38
Q

Where is chlorophyll found

A

Inside chloroplasts it is the green pigment called chlorophyll

39
Q

What does chlorophyll do

A

Absorbs the energy from sunlight that is needed for photosynthesis

40
Q

True or False:
Bacteria cells have a nucleus

A

False
They have circular strands of DNA

41
Q

True or False:
Bacteria cells do not have a nucleus

A

True
They have circular strands of DNA

42
Q

What extra gene can plasmids have

A

They can be antibiotic resistant

43
Q

What names does the circular strand of DNA have in a bacteria cell

A
  • circular chromosome
    Nucleoid
44
Q

What does the circular strand of DNA have

A

Genes they need to survive and reproduce

45
Q

What is the function of the flagella in a bacteria cell

A

Thread like structure that rotate to propel the bacteria to give the cell movement

Plant cell

52
Q

In a plant, animal and bacteria cells state whether you can find:

Permanent vacuole

A
