Name the Parts of the animal cell?

Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Mitochondria, Nucleus, Ribosomes.

Name the Parts of the plant cell?

Nucleus, Vacuole, Mitochondria, Chloroplast, Cell Membrane, Cell Wall, Ribosomes, Cytoplasm.

What is the Cell Membrane?

A selectively permeable outer layer, controls what goes in and out of the Cell.

Describe the Cytoplasm

Mainly made of water and salts and sugars, where chemical reactions take place.

What does the Nucleus do?

It controls the cells activities.

What does the Mitochondrion do?

It's the sit of energy production (respiration)

What's the job of the Ribosome?

Found in the cytoplasm and is where protein synthesis takes place.

What does the Cell Wall do?

Strong and flexible. Made from cellulose. Gives the Cell support.

The Vacuole does what job?

Store what inside the Cell.

What does the Chloroplasts do?

Contains chlorophyll. Where photosynthesis takes place.

What are the Parts of cells called?

Organelles

What is osmosis?

The diffusion of water from an area of high concentration to low concentration across a selectively permeable membrane.

What is a cell made up of?

99% water, 1% sugar and salt.

What does turgid mean?

The Cell is full of water

What does plasmolysed mean?

The process of extreme water loss in a plant cell.

What will happen to an animal cell in a pure water solution?

They will burst and die

What are cell membranes made out of?

Proteins and phospholipids

What does DNA carry the information to make?

Protiens

What are the bases in DNA?

A, C, T, G

What pairs of bases always go together?

A+T and G+C

What is the shape of DNA?

Double helix

What is mRNA?

Messenger RNA, a copy of DNA

What is genetic engineering?

The transfer of DNA from one organism to another

What are enzymes?

Biological catalysts, made by all living cells

What happens to enzymes during chemical reactions?

They speed them up, are unchanged and always produce the same products.

What is the name of the conditions that enzymes work best at?

Optimum conditions

What effects enzymes?

pH and temperature

What happens when an enzyme is denatured?

It's shape changes, therefore its active site no longer fits with the substrate

What is the active site of an enzyme?

The place that binds with the substrate and reacts

What does "enzymes are specific" mean?

They only react with one substrate

What is ATP?

Adenesine Triphosphate

What is the word equation of aerobic respiration in animals?

Glucose + oxygen = ATP + Carbon Dioxide + Water

Where does the first stage of aerobic respiration in animals take place?

Cytoplasm

Where does the second stage of aerobic respiration in animals take place?

Mitochondria
