Front (Question)

define cell theory

Back (Answer)

• all living organisms are composed of one or more cell • the cell is the fundamental unit of structure,function and organisation in all living organisms • cells can’t only arise from pre existing cells

#4
Front (Question)

total magnification is what multiplied together

Back (Answer)

eyepiece and objective lens

#5
Front (Question)

what is the function of the nucleus?

Back (Answer)

to retain DNA which codes for protein synthesis

#6
Front (Question)

what 4 parts is the nucleus made up of

Back (Answer)

nuclear envelope nucleolus nucleoplasm chromatin

#7
Front (Question)

nuclear envelope

Back (Answer)

double membrane with pores to allow transport of mRNA and ribosomes out of the nucleus to the cyctoplasm

#8
Front (Question)

nucleoplasm

Back (Answer)

cyctoplams like material containing chromatin

#9
Front (Question)

chromatin

Back (Answer)

coils of DNA bound to histone protein, during cell division it condenses to form visible chromosomes

#10
Front (Question)

nucleolus

Back (Answer)

spherical bodies that synthesise rRNA

#11
Front (Question)

what is the function of mitochondria

Back (Answer)

to release energy in the form of ATP during aerobic respiration

#12
Front (Question)

what features does a mitochondrion contain

Back (Answer)

70s ribosomes DNA matrix cristae double membrane

#13
Front (Question)

where are most mitochondria found

Back (Answer)

muscle and liver cells

#14
Front (Question)

function of ribosomes

Back (Answer)

site of protein synthesis

#15
Front (Question)

function of rough endoplasmic reticulum

Back (Answer)

protein synthesis and transport of proteins

#16
Front (Question)

function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Back (Answer)

involved in synthesis and transport of lipids

#17
Front (Question)

function of golgi body

Back (Answer)

modifying and packaging proteins. secreating carbohydrates. producing glycoproteins. transport and store of lipids. form lysosomes.

#18
Front (Question)

function of chloroplasts

Back (Answer)

site of photosynthesis

#19
Front (Question)

function of plasmodesmata

Back (Answer)

connect one cell to another and allow substances to move between them

#20
Front (Question)

function of cell wall

Back (Answer)

rigidity of plant cells

#21
Front (Question)

function of vacuoles

Back (Answer)

support soft plant tissues

#22
Front (Question)

function of centrioles

Back (Answer)

during cell division, they migrate to opposite poles of cell and form the spindle

#23
Front (Question)

function of lysosomes

Back (Answer)

release digestive enzymes to break down worn out organelles of cell. digest material taken in by the cell.

#24
Front (Question)

what organelles to both plant cells and animals cells contain

Back (Answer)

lysosomes nucleus golgi body mitochondria RER cell membranes
