________- Site of photosynthesis which makes food for the plant.

New cards
10

New cards
11

Plant

________ and animal cells (eukaryotic cells) have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material enclosed in a nucleus.

New cards
12

Oxygen

________ (produced in photosynthesis) and water vapour also diffuse out through the stomata.

New cards
13

mitosis

New cards
14

Nucleus

________- Contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell.

New cards
15

green substance

They contain a(n) ________ called chlorophyll which absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.

New cards
16

DNA

The ________ replicates to form two copies of each chromosome.

New cards
17

Cell

________ membrane- Holds the ________ together and controls what goes in and out.

New cards
18

Differentiation

________ is the process by which a cell changes to become specialised for its job.

New cards
19

embryo

In therapeutic cloning a(n) ________ is produced with the same genes as the patient.

New cards
20

Substances

________ may move into and out of cells across the cell membranes by diffusion.

New cards
21

electron microscope

The ________ has increased the understanding of sub cellular structures because they have a higher resolution.

New cards
22

number of sub cellular structures

Before a cell can divide it needs to grow and increase the ________ such as ribosomes and mitochondria.

New cards
23

Phloem

________ and xylem cells from ________ and xylem tubes, which transport substances such as food and water around plants.

New cards
24

temperature

The ________: The higher it is, the faster the diffusion rate because the particles have more energy so move around faster.

New cards
25

slide

A(n) ________ is a strip of clear glass or plastic onto which the specimen is mounted.

New cards
26

New cards
29

Crop plants

________ with special features such as disease resistance can be cloned to produce large numbers of identical plants for farmers.

New cards
30

surface area

The ________ of the membrane: The bigger it is, the faster the diffusion rate because more particles can pass through at once.

New cards
31

cell membranes

Water may move across ________ by osmosis.

New cards
32

The ________ is the chip mass and the independent variable is the concentration of the sugar solution.

New cards
33

nucleus of a cell

New cards
36

Sugar molecules

________ are used for cell respiration.

New cards
37

Diffusion

________ is the spreading out of the particles of any substance in solution, or particles of a gas, resulting in a net movement from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.

New cards
38

Respiration transfers energy

________ that the cell needs to work.

New cards
39

gill filaments

The ________ are covered in lots of tiny structures called lamellae which increase the surface area even more.

New cards
40

________ is a stain.

New cards
41

New cards
42

function of a sperm

The ________ is to get the male DNA to the female DNA.

New cards
43

Light microscopes

________ use light and lenses to form an image of a specimen and magnify it.

New cards
44

cell division

In mature animals, ________ is mainly restricted to repair and replacement.

New cards
45

Most animal cells have

nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes

New cards
46

New cards
57
