Biology

What are cells?

Cells are the building blocks of all organisms

Name the 5 organelles in an animal cell

Cytoplasm, Cell Membrane, Mitochondrion, Nucleus, And Ribosome

Name the 8 organelles in a plant cell

Cell wall, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, Chloroplasts, Nucleus, Mitochondrion, Ribosome, and vacuole

What are the six cells that are in a fungal cell

Cell wall, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Mitochondrion , Ribosome

What are the six organelles in a bacterial cell?

Cell wall, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Large circular dna molecule, Plasmids, and Ribosomes

What is the function of the Nucleus?

It contains genetic information (DNA) and controls cell’s activities.

Cytoplasm

It’s is where chemical reactions occur

Cell Membrane

Controls the entry and exit of chemicals and substances.

Mitochondria

Converts food into ATP (energy). It is where respiration occurs.

Cell Wall

A tough outer layer of the cell that provides strength, support, shape and protection

Ribosome

Where protein synthesis takes place

Vacuole

Contains sap

Chloroplast

Where photosynthesis occurs

Plasmid

Circular pieces of DNA found in bacterial cells

What is cell division

It’s the process in which a single cell can provide 2 daughter cells

What is mitosis

Mitosis is a type of cell division where a cell copies itself and divides into 2 identical daughter cells.

What are multicellular organisms.

Multicellular organisms are living things like humans that are made up of many specialised cells that work together

Unicellular organisms

Unicellular organisms are living things like bacteria that are made of one cell that perform all life tasks. Cell division is very important as it allows them to reproduce.

What does DNA stand for

Deoxyribonucleic acid

What is the function of the DNA

DNA is the molecular blueprint for creating organisms

What shape is the DNA

The DNA is shaped in a double helix

What are the 4 bases that DNA consists of ?

What base does Adenine pair with

What base pair does Cytosine Pair up with?

What does she sequence of the bases determine

The sequence of Amino acids

What does the sequence of amino acids determine

The protein for particular cells

What is a gene?

A gene is a small specific segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein

What is a genome?

A genome is the entire collection of all genetic material

What is the job of the MRNA

It is the messenger from the nucleus to the ribosomes

What is the first step for Genetic engineering?

In the chromosome, the gene for insulin is found and cut out

What is the second step of genetic engineering?

A plasmid is IDENTIFIED and EXTRACTED from a bacterial cell

What is the third step of genetic egineering.

The insulin gene is INSERTED into the plasmid.

What is the fourth step of genetic engineering?

The plasmid with the insulting gene is INSERTED into a bacterial host cell

What is the fifth step of genetic engineering?

The transformed bacterial cells are grown and produce lots of genetically modified cells.
