What is the cell-surface membrane in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

Phospholipid bilayer

What does the capsule enable prokaryotic cells to do?

stick to surfaces

New cards
13

What do most prokaryotes have?

a peptidoglycan cell wall

New cards
14

What are ribosomes in prokaryotic cells?

70s- thus means that the subunit is 50s large and 30s small

New cards
15

What are vesicles

sacs made of membrane

New cards
16

What is the function of the cell wall?

Provides the cell with support and protection, mainly made with cellulose fibres and water dissolved substances

New cards
17

What is the function of the capsule?

Prevents desiccation (water loss) and stops digestion by phagocytosis

New cards
18

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Regulates the movement of materials into and out of the cell. Its a fluid of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates

New cards
19

What is the function of the cytoplasm?

Site of chemical reactions

New cards
20

What is the function of the nucleoid?

Contains DNA, which is the store of genetic information.

New cards
21

What is the function of plasmids?

small rings of DNA

New cards
22

What is the function of chromosomes?

carry genetic information

New cards
23

What is the function of membrane bound organelles?

acts as a diffusion barrier, but also provides each organelle with its unique morphology that contributes to its function

New cards
24

What is the function of the nucleolus?

produce ribosomes

New cards
25

What is the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

It transports proteins that are synthesized in the ribosome

New cards
26

What is the function of the ribosome?

Tranaslate genetic information in the form of mRNA into proteins

New cards
27

What is the function of the the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Involved in the synthesis and storage of lipids such a phospolipids

New cards
28

What is the function of the Golgi body?

Modifies proteins which are received from the endoplasmic reticulum. They are then transported to the vesicles around the cell

New cards
29

What is the function of lysosome?

Contains digestive enzymes called lysozymes. They can be used to digest invading cells or to break down worn out components of the cell.

New cards
30

What is the function of the mitochondria?

produce ATP and responsible for aerobic respiration

New cards
31

What is the function of vesicles?

to transport molecules in, out, and around a cell

New cards
32

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Site of photosynthesis

New cards
33

What is the purpose of a vacuole?

to store water, food, or waste products

New cards
34

What is the function of the tonoplast?

It controls what enters and leaves the vacuole

New cards
35

What is the function of the Amyloplasts?

store starch

New cards
36

What is the function of the plasmodesmata?

The plasmodesmata is a channel through the cell wall that allows molecules and substances to move back and forth as needed.

New cards
37

What is the function of pits?

Thin regions of the cell wall that transport water and nutrience in plant cells

<p><span style="font-family: hurme_no2-webfont, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif">What is number 2 on the image?</span></p>

What is number 2 on the image?

Lysosome

New cards
51

What is the structure A used for?

  • to store genetic material

New cards
52

What are the organelles labelled X and Y?

X is the cell wall and Y in the mitochondrion

New cards
53

What are the structures X and Y likely to be?

X is mitochondrion and Y in the nucleus

New cards
54

What is the difference between gram positive and gram negative bacterial cell walls?

Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by a thin peptidoglycan cell wall, which itself is surrounded by an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide. Gram-positive bacteria lack an outer membrane but are surrounded by layers of peptidoglycan many times thicker than is found in the Gram-negatives.

New cards
55

Why do they react differently to antibiotics?

Gram-negative bacteria tend to be more resistant to antimicrobial agents than Gram-positive bacteria, because of the presence of the additional protection afforded by the outer membrane.

New cards

What is the equation for magnification?

Magnification= Image size / actual size
