What is the primary way bacteria obtain and use energy?
Bacteria obtain energy through molecules from ATP.
What role do genes play in bacteria?
Genes serve as instructions to build molecules that work in the cell and hold information for DNA to copy itself.
How do bacteria get rid of waste?
Bacteria digest larger molecules with enzymes, converting them into energy, new molecules, or waste.
What is the function of the cell membrane in bacteria?
The cell membrane separates a cell and controls what gets in and out, allowing water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to pass through.
How do bacteria read genetic instructions?
Bacteria make a copy of the gene, which joins the ribosome to be decoded for protein building.
What is the primary way plants obtain and use energy?
Plants use chloroplasts to make energy from ATP.
What information is contained in the DNA of plants?
DNA holds all the information for building a living plant and instructions for copying itself.
How do plants get rid of waste?
Plants use vacuoles and enzymes to digest waste and can either turn broken down molecules into new substances or burn them for energy.
What role does the cell membrane play in plant cells?
The cell membrane, composed of two layers, helps control what goes in and out, with some molecules crossing on their own and others requiring proteins.
What process do plants use to read genetic instructions for proteins?
Plants use ribosomes to decode messages from genes and process proteins through the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.
How do animal cells obtain energy?
Animal cells get energy mainly from ATP, which is produced by breaking down fuels like sugar and fats in the mitochondria.
What is the role of DNA in animal cells?
DNA inside the nucleus contains all information for building living things and instructions for making more cells.
How do animal cells eliminate waste?
Animal cells send worn out parts to lysosomes where enzymes digest them, and smaller waste molecules can exit through the cell membrane.
What is the function of the cell membrane in animal cells?
The cell membrane acts as a barrier, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
How do animal cells read their genetic instructions?
Animal cells make copies of genes that join with ribosomes to build proteins which are processed and tagged by the Golgi apparatus.
