Plants or Animals
Does the Cell wall only exist in Plants or Animal Cells?
they are absent in animal cells
What is the function of the nucleus?
storing, protecting, and organizing genetic material (DNA) while regulating cellular activity
What is the basic unit of all life?
Cells
Can a cell survive without a nucleus?
Most eukaryotic cells cannot survive without a nucleus
What would happen if the mitochondria suddenly stopped working?
the body would instantly experience a catastrophic energy crisis, resulting in severe organ failure, rapid loss of consciousness, and death within seconds to minutes
Can Chloroplast be found in Plant Or Animal Cells?
Plant Cells
What is the function of the cell wall?
providing structural support, shape, and protection against mechanical stress
What produces energy (ATP) through Cellular Respiration?
Mitochondria
Can plant cells live without chloroplasts?
they can live without them if they are non-photosynthetic cells (like roots) or specialized parasitic plants that steal nutrients from hosts
What would happen if cells never stopped dividing?
it leads to the uncontrolled growth of cells, forming tumours and potentially cancer
Lysosomes can be found in which cell?
Animal
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
packaging center for proteins and lipids in eukaryotic cells
Digest materials and removes waste
Lysosome
Can red blood cells survive in extreme heat?
What is Claire brothers name?(Claire cannot answer or whisper)
Quinn
Feeds off sunlight and energy
Plant Cells
What is the function of vacuoles?
storage, waste disposal, and structural support units within cells
Produce sugar through photosynthesis (plant cells only).
Chloroplasts
Can a cell be seen without a microscope?
Yes, you can see some cells without a microscope, though most are too small
What are the main structural differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
eukaryotic cells possessing a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles, while prokaryotes lack these, storing DNA in a nucleoid region
Centrosomes can be found in ONLY what cell?
Animal
What is the function of the mitochondria?
generate chemical energy (ATP) needed to power biochemical reactions, primarily through oxidative phosphorylation
A network of fibers (microtubules, microfilaments) that provides shape and aids in movement.
Cytoskeleton
Can cells repair themselves after damage?
Yes
If cells are so tiny how can they control your whole body?
through massive, synchronized networks
