#1
Front (Question)

All cells are surrounded by a selective barrier called what

Back (Answer)

plasma membrane also known as a cell membrane

#2
Front (Question)

what do we find inside the cell barrier

Back (Answer)

a jellylike semi fluid called cytosol (cytoplasm) in which cell organelles are suspended

#3
Front (Question)

name some cell organelles

Back (Answer)

nucleus mitochondria ribosomes Golgi apparatus vacuole they serve diff functions

#4
Front (Question)

what are organelles

Back (Answer)

they are specialised structures found inside living cells that perform specific functions for the cell

#5
Front (Question)

what is a cell membrane

Back (Answer)

it encloses the cell. and it forms the outer boundary of the cell surrounds the contents of the cell

#6
Front (Question)

what is a cell wall

Back (Answer)

extracellular structure of plant which distinguishes the from animal cells it s a wall that surround the cell on the outside

#7
Front (Question)

why do plant cells have a cell wall but animals don’t

Back (Answer)

the cell will protects and support the cell animals do not need a cell wall because organisms are protected and supported ut their skeleton

#8
Front (Question)

what is a cytoplasm

Back (Answer)

it is a jelly like substance that fills the cell it consist of water with other components which either dissolve or suspend in it

#9
Front (Question)

what is a nucleus

Back (Answer)

it is a round organelle that is surrounded by a nuclear membrane and it contains the DNA of the cell

#10
Front (Question)

what is a mitocondria

Back (Answer)

it is the organelle in the cell where cellular respiration takes place

#11
Front (Question)

what is respiration

Back (Answer)

the process in which glucose breaks down in the presence of oxygen in the cells of organisms , to produce carbon dioxide , water and energy

#12
Front (Question)

what is a chloroplast

Back (Answer)

found in plant cells site for photosynthesis contains the green pigment called chlorophyll absorbs the light energy from the sun and converts it into energy rich sugars called glucose sugars produced store as starch

#13
Front (Question)

what is photosynthesis

Back (Answer)

process in which plants use chlrorphyll to convert radiant energy into sugars when carbon dioxide reacts with water also producing oxygen in the process

#14
Front (Question)

wat is a vacuole

Back (Answer)

fluid filled sacs that are surrounded by the membrane

#15
Front (Question)

how many vacuoles do animals and plants have

Back (Answer)

animals - one or two small vacuoles or no vacuoles at all plants - have one or two large vacuoles which store substances like sugars ,salt ,water

#16
Front (Question)

what are the differences between a plant cells and animal cell

Back (Answer)

• plants cells have cell walls and animals cells don’t • plants have a regular shape due to rigid cell wall – animals cells have an irregular shape • plants cells have a large vacuole – animals cells have a small vacuole or non at all • plants cells have chloroplast which enables them to make her own food –animals cells don’t have chloroplast and therefore are unable to make their own food

#17
Front (Question)

what the similarieties between a plant cells and a animal cell

Back (Answer)

dddd

#18
Front (Question)

what is the function of a cell membrane

Back (Answer)

to control the movement of materials into and out of the cell it is selectively permeable - it does not allow certain substances to enter the cell

#19
Front (Question)

what is the function of a cell wall

Back (Answer)

to protect the plant cell, to give it or maintain the shape of the cell to prevents excessive uptake of water

#20
Front (Question)

what is a cell wall made up of

Back (Answer)

made up of cellulose which is a tough substances which helps it stand upright

#21
Front (Question)

what is the function of a cytoplasm

Back (Answer)

to provide a liquid medium for chemical reactions to take place

#22
Front (Question)

what is the function of the nucleus

Back (Answer)

it houses chromosomes which are made of chromatin (DNA and proteins ) IT contains deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of organism DNA contains the info that’d determines the organisms inherited characteristic nucleus controls all cell activities

#23
Front (Question)

what is the function of the mitochondria

Back (Answer)

it is the site for respiration energy is released from glucose in the process of respiration this energy produced from respiration is need by the cell to carry out it specific function

#24
Front (Question)

what is the function of the vacuole

Back (Answer)

used to store substances that can be used by cell aslo functions in waste disposal ad water balance
