AQA GCSE Biology B1
What are cells? - ANS -The building blocks of organisms
Define eukaryotic cell - ANS -Cells that have a true nucleus
Define prokaryotic cell - ANS -Cells that do not have a true nucleus
What is in an animal cell? - ANS -Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes
What is in a plant cell? - ANS -Same as animal plus: vacuole, chloroplasts, chlorophyll, cell wall
What is in a yeast cell? - ANS -Same as animal plus: temporary vacuole, cell wall
What is in a bacterial cell? - ANS -Cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, ribosomes,
chromosomes, plasmid, capsule, flagellum
Function of nucleus - ANS -The control centre of the cell, contains DNA
Function of cytoplasm - ANS -Where chemical reactions take place
Function of cell membrane - ANS -Controls the flow of substances into and out of the cell
Function of mitochondria - ANS -Releases energy into the cell in respiration
Function of ribosomes - ANS -Where protein synthesis takes place
Function of vacuole - ANS -Keeps the cell turgid (filled with plant sap)
Function of chlorophyll - ANS -Absorbed light energy in photosynthesis
Function of cell wall - ANS -Provides structure for the cell, made of cellulose
Function of chromosomes - ANS -Carries genetic information
Function of plasmid - ANS -Carries genetic information
Function of capsule - ANS -Protects against phagocytosis
Function of flagellum - ANS -Helps the cell move
