Cell Information

What are the 3 parts of the Cell Theory?

• All organisms are made up of one or more cells

• All cells carry on life activities

• New cells arise from other living cells by the process of cell division

Cells are the?

• Cells are the basic unit of organisms

What are the two basic types of cells, and their information.

• Prokaryotic ‘No’

  • Lack / no membrane bound organelles.

  • Single - celled / Unicellular

  • Bacteria

• Eukaryotic

  • Membrane bound organelles

  • Multi - celled / Multicellular

What are the two types of Eukaryotic Cells?

• Animal Cells / Plant Cells

What is the differences between the Animal and Plant Cell? ( The Big 3 )

• Plants

  • Has a Cell Wall ( only in plants )

  • Has Chloroplasts ( only in plants )

  • Has a Singular Vacuole XL ( only in plants )

• Animals

  • No Cell Wall

  • No Chloroplasts

  • Does have Vacuole but much smaller and have multiple

What are the Similarities between Animal / Plant Cells? ( 3 )

• Both have a cell membrane surrounding the cytoplasm

• Both have a nucleus

• Both contain mitochondria, golgi-bodies, ribosomes, E.R, microtubules

What are the Differences between Animal / Plant Cells? ( 6 )

• Plant Cells

  • Larger in Size

  • Regular / Rectangular

  • Cell Wall ( 1/3 )

  • Chloroplasts ( 2/3 )

  • Big Vacuole ( 3/3 )

  • Nucleus near the Cell Wall

• Animal Cells

  • Smaller in Size

  • Irregular

  • Has no Cell Wall ( 1/3 )

  • Has no Chloroplasts ( 2/3 )

  • Small / Multiple Vacuoles ( 3/3 )

  • Nucleus near the Center

What / where is the Cell Wall and its function?

• In Plant Cells only

• Made up of Cellulose, forming thin fibers

• Gives shape to the cell

• Protect and Support the interior of the cell - Function

What / where is the Cell Membrane and its function?

• Called the Plasma Membrane

• Against the Cell Wall

• Found Both in Plant / Animal Cells

• Can control the movement of materials into and out of the cell - Function

  • “Control what goes in / out”

What / where is the Cytoplasm and its function?

• Jelly like substance enclosed by cell membrane

  • Contains organelles / granules; e.g chloroplasts / mitochondria

• Found in all cells

• Provide a medium for chemical reactions to take place - Function

What / where are the Organelles?

• Small in size

• Found in the Cytoplasm

What / where are Chloroplasts and its function / What is the equation of Photosynthesis?

• Only found in Plant Cells

• Converts light energy into chemical energy ( photosynthesis ) - function

• Equation of Photosynthesis

What / where are Vacuoles and its function?

• Large Central Vacuoles in Plant Cells - Function

  • Appears in both

    • Plants : Giant Vacuole

    • Animal : Tiny Vacuoles

• Contains / Stores cell sap - Function

What / type / where is the Endoplasmic Reticulum ( E.R. ) and its function?

• Found both in Plant / Animals Cells

• Rough / Smooth types

  • Rough E.R. have ribosomes attached onto the outside.

• Transport of Materials in Cell - Function

  • Highway for Material Transport

What / where are the Mitochondrion / Mitochondria and its function?

• Found both in Plant / Animal Cells

• For Cellular Respiration

• Powerhouse of the Cell: Conversion of energy from Glucose to adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) - Function

What / where are the Nucleus and its function?

• Found both in Plant / Animal Cells

• Control the normal activities of the cell - function

What / where are the Nucleolus & Pore and its function?

• Contains a large amount of RNA / Proteins

• Not bound by a membrane

• Nuclear Pore: Allows large molecules to move in / out of the nucleus

What / where are Ribosomes?

• Found both in Plant and Animal Cells

• They’re sites of proteins

• Found within Rough E.R or Cytoplasms

What / where are Golgi Apparatus and its function?

• Found in Plant and Animal Cells

• Serves as a storage / packaging / processing center for the products released by the cell - Function

What / where are Microtubules and its function?

• Found both in Plant and Animal Cells

• Gives cells shape and skeleton

  • Forms the Cytoskeleton

What / where are Lysosomes and its function?

• Small saclike structures containing digestive enzymes

• Found mainly in Animal cells and rarely in Plant cells

What / where are Centrioles and its function?

• Located near the Nucleus in Animal Cells

  • Grouped up in pairs on either side of the Nucleus

• Involved with Cell Division in Animal Cells
