What does a cell wall do?
Provides support to the cells and is made up of cellulose
What does a mitochondria do?
It gives all cells energy, from aerobic respiration.
What do Chloroplasts do?
They contain chlorophyll which traps light energy from the sun, and they are the main site of photosynthesis
What does cell membrane do?
It controls what substances exit and enter the cell
What is a cytoplasms function?
It is where all chemical reactions occur
What is a vacuole?
It is a fluid filled sac which contains water, sugar, and salts
What does a nucleus do?
It controls cell activities and contains genetic information
What is a ribosome?
It is the site of protein synthesis
What is a plasmid?
A small circular DNA
What is cellulose?
A structural carbohydrate present in the cell wall
What organelles are in a plant cell?
Vacuole, mitochondria, ribosomes, cytoplasm, nucleus, cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplast
What organelles are in an animal cell?
Nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, cell membrane, ribosomes
What organelles are in a fungal (yeast cell)?
Cell wall, ribosomes, cell membrane, vacuole, mitochondria, nucleus, cytoplasm
What organelles are in a Bacteria cell?
Cytoplasm, plasmids, cell wall, ribosomes, cell membrane, DNA,
What are chromosomes and plasmids made up of?
DNA
What is yeast?
It is a single cell fungus. It does not contain chlorophyll and cannot make its own food by photosynthesis
What are plant cell walls made of?
Cellulose
Do fungi cells have cellulose?
No!
How does yeast grow?
Yeast multiplies by budding through asexual reproduction.
What are 5 structures found in both animal and plant cells?
Mitochondria, cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, nucleus
Name 2 organelles found in plant cells and not in animal cells?
Cell wall, chloroplast
Name one structure found ONLY in green plant cells:
Chloroplast!
Which organelle is responsible for providing most of a cells energy requirements?
Mitochondria
What is a common solution used as a stain while viewing cells?
Iodine
