Front (Question)

features of prokaryotic cells

Back (Answer)

No nucleus, dna free floating No membrane bound organelles Dna in a region called the nucleotide Simpler and smaller than eukaryotic Have a cell wall Have ribosomes

#2
Front (Question)

features of eukaryotic cells

Back (Answer)

Has nucleus and membrane bound organelles More complex Larger Dna enclosed in nucleus

#3
Front (Question)

features of stem cells

Back (Answer)

Unspecialized cells Can self renew (multiply) Can differentiate

#4
Front (Question)

features of specialised cells

Back (Answer)

Specific structure to carry out particular job Become specialised through differentiate

#5
Front (Question)

features of neurons - nerve cells

Back (Answer)

Transmit electrical impulses Facilitate communication between different parts of the body and brain

#6
Front (Question)

features of Spermatozoa (sperm cell) cells

Back (Answer)

Specialised shape Fertilise egg and carry genetic material

#7
Front (Question)

features of Ova (egg cells)

Back (Answer)

Large Immobile Carry genetic material Provide environment for fertilisation and embryo development

#8
Front (Question)

features of Osteocytes (bone cells)

Back (Answer)

Bone cells derived from osteoblasts in bone marrow Maintain bone matrix Regulate calcium and phosphate levels

#9
Front (Question)

features of Fibroplasts

Back (Answer)

Produce collagen and fibers found in connective tissue Role in wound healing and maintaining extracellular matrix

#10
Front (Question)

features of red blood cells

Back (Answer)

Contain hemoglobin No nucleus Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide

#11
Front (Question)

features of white blood cells

Back (Answer)

Immune cells, protects body from infection and pathogens Detects and destroys infection and pathogens

#12
Front (Question)

features of Lympocytes

Back (Answer)

Subtype of white blood cells Found in lymphatic tissue and blood B-lymphocytes produce antibodies T-lymphocytes destroy infected cells

#13
Front (Question)

features of Adipose cells

Back (Answer)

Fat storing Store energy Provide insulation Cushion organs Secrete metabolic hormones

#14
Front (Question)

features of Plasma / cell membrane

Back (Answer)

Phospholipid bilayer Embedded proteins Regulates movement of substances in and out of cell Provides structural support Involved in cell signaling and communication

#15
Front (Question)

features of the cytoplasm

Back (Answer)

Gel like fluid Contains organelles, enzymes and nutrients Site of metabolic reactions Provides a medium for organelles to remain suspended

#16
Front (Question)

what is the Nucleolus

Back (Answer)

region within nucleus that synthesises ribosomal rna

#17
Front (Question)

what is the Nuclear Envelope

Back (Answer)

Double membrane with nuclear pores. regulate passage of molecules in and out of the nucleus.​

#18
Front (Question)

Chromatin

Back (Answer)

A mixture of DNA and associated proteins. It condenses into chromosomes during cell division and controls cell activities by regulating gene expression and DNA replication.

#19
Front (Question)

features of Centriols

Back (Answer)

Cynindrical Made of microtubules Found in pairs Helps with cell division Forms cilia and flagella

#20
Front (Question)

features of Microfilaments

Back (Answer)

Thin, thread like fibers Made of actin Provides structural support

#21
Front (Question)

features of Mitochondria

Back (Answer)

Double membrane bound Site of atp production through aerobic respiration

#22
Front (Question)

features of the glogi apparatus

Back (Answer)

Stacks of flattened membrane bound sacs Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport forms lysosomes

#23
Front (Question)

features of the Rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer)

Back (Answer)

Network of membranes Studded with ribsomes Synthesises and transports proteins

#24
Front (Question)

features of the Smooth endopasmic reticulum

Back (Answer)

Network of membranes without ribosomes Synthisisies lipids Detoxifies drugs / poison Stores calcium ions
