| how do plant and algal cells differ from animal cells? | plant and algal cells have all animal features, with a cell wall. Some plant cells have chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole. |
| what are bacterial cells like? | consists of cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall. the genes are not in a distinct nucleus |
| how are yeast cells unique? | single-celled organism. each cell has a nucleus, cytoplasm and membrane surrounded by a cell wall |
| what are plasmids? | small circular bits of DNA |
| why do bacteria cells have flagellum | to induce movement. |
| how do yeast reproduce? | asexual budding |
| 3 features of a fat cell | small amount of cytoplasm few mitochondria expandable |
| 3 features of a cone cell | outer segment has a visual pigment middle segment full of mitochondria specialized synapse connected to optic nerve |
| 2 features of root hair cells | hairs increase surface area large permanent vacuole to speed up osmosis |
| 4 features of a sperm cell | long tail middle section full of mitochondria acrosome stores digestive enzymes large nucleus |
| why are cells specialized? | carry out a specific function |
| what is diffusion? | net movement of particles from an area where they are at a high concentration to an area where they are at a low concentration. |
| what affects the rate of diffusion? | the greater the difference in concentration, the faster the rate of diffusion |
| what is concentration gradient | difference in concentration |
| what is a tissue? | a tissue is a group of cells with similar structure and function |
| what is an organ? | organs are made of tissues. one organ may contain several types of tissues. |
| what are organ systems? | groups of organs that perform a particular function |
| examples of organ system in an animal | digestive, respiratory, circulatory, etc... |
| 3 plant organs | stems, roots and leaves |
