  • What is a plasmid?
    Ring of DNA that allows bacteria to replicate quickly
  • What is the function of the ribsomes?
    Site of protein synthesis (where proteins are made)
  • What is the function of the cytoplasm?
    Where chemical reactions happen
  • Name an example of a prokaryotic cell
    bacteria
  • Name 2 examples of eukaryotic cells
    animal and plant cells
  • What is the function of the cell wall?
    to provide support
  • What is the function of the cell membrane?
    Controls what goes in/out of cells
  • What is the function of the mitochondria?
    Where energy is released (for aerobic respiration)
  • Describe how the structure of the flagellum in bacteria is adapted for its function
    Flagellum acts like a tail, and allows bacteria to move
  • Suggest why plant cells have a cell wall, whereas animal cells do not
    animals have skeletons for protection, whereas plants do not, so their cells need extra support
  • What is the function of the nucleus?
    Contains genetic information and controls cell
  • what is the difference between a prokaryote and eukaryote?
    eukaryotes have a nucleus
  • Name 3 organelles a plant cell has that an animal cell does not
    chloroplast, vacuole, cell wall
  • What is the function of the slime capsule in bacteria?
    Protective layer on outside for survival
  • What is the function of the chloroplast?
    (chlorophyll) absorbs light for photosynthesis
  • What is the chromosomal DNA in bacteria?
    Large loop of DNA which has instructions for bacteria
