Question		Answer
What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells? start learning		Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells don’t.
What are the 5 sub-cellular structures found in animal cells? start learning		Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes
What are 3 extra structures that are found in plant cells? start learning		Cell wall, chloroplasts, permanent vacuole
What is the function of the nucleus? start learning		Contains genetic material (DNA) and controls activities of the cell
What is the function of the cell membrane? start learning		Controls movement of substances in and out of the cell
What is the function of the cytoplasm? start learning		Where most chemical reactions take place
What is the function of mitochondria? start learning		Site of aerobic respiration
What is the function of ribosomes? start learning		Site of the protein synthesis
What is the function of the cell wall? start learning		Strengthens and supports the cell
What is the function of chloroplast? start learning		Site of photosynthesis
What is the function of permanent vacuole? start learning		Contains cell sap and helps keep the cell rigid
Give an example of a prokaryote start learning		Bacteria
Name 3 structures found in bacterial cells start learning		Cytoplasm, cell membranes, ribosomes
