Front (Question)

What are prokaryotic organisms made up of?

Back (Answer)

Prokaryotic cells

Front (Question)

What are eukaryotic organisms made up of?

Back (Answer)

Eukaryotic cells

Front (Question)

What do both types of cells contain?

Back (Answer)

Organelles

Front (Question)

What is the difference between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells?

Back (Answer)

Eukaryotic cells are more complex Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler

Front (Question)

What are organelles?

Back (Answer)

Parts of cells

Front (Question)

What does each organelle have?

Back (Answer)

A specific function

Front (Question)

4 examples of eukaryotic cells?

Back (Answer)

Animal, plant, algal and fungal cells

Front (Question)

What organelles are found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?

Back (Answer)

Cellulose cell wall Vacuole Chloroplasts

#10

Front (Question)

What is the similarity of algal and plant cells?

Back (Answer)

Carry out photosynthesis

#11

Front (Question)

What is the difference between algal cells and plants?

Back (Answer)

Algal cells can be unicellular or multicellular

#12

Front (Question)

What can be different about the chloroplasts in algal cells and plant cells?

Back (Answer)

In algal cells, chloroplasts can have a different size and shape to a plant

#13

Front (Question)

What can fungal cells be?

Back (Answer)

Unicellular or multicellular

#14

Front (Question)

What are the 2 differences between fungal cells and plant cells?

Back (Answer)

In fungal cells, cell walls are made of chitin, not cellulose Fungal cells don’t have chloroplasts

#15

Front (Question)

Why don’t fungal cells have chloroplasts?

Back (Answer)

They don’t photosynthesise

#16

Front (Question)

What is the cell-surface membrane also called?

Back (Answer)

The plasma membrane

#17

Front (Question)

What is the cell-surface membrane?

Back (Answer)

Membrane found on the surface of animal cells and just inside the cell wall of other cells

#18

Front (Question)

What is the cell-surface membrane made mainly of?

Back (Answer)

Lipids and protein

#19

Front (Question)

What is the function of the cell-surface membrane?

Back (Answer)

Regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell

#20

Front (Question)

Why does the cell-surface membrane have receptor molecules on it?

Back (Answer)

So it can respond to chemicals like hormones

#21

Front (Question)

What is a nucleus?

Back (Answer)

A large organelle surrounded by a nuclear envelope which contains many pores

#22

Front (Question)

What does the nucleus contain?

Back (Answer)

Chromosomes and one or more structures called a nucleolus

#23

Front (Question)

What is the function of the nucleus?

Back (Answer)

Controls the cell’s activities by controlling the transcription of DNA

#24

Front (Question)

What does the DNA in the nucleus contain?

Back (Answer)

Instructions to make proteins
