Cell Structure
The chemical component of a plant cell wall, which is absent in fungal and bacterial cell walls.
What is cellulose?
The two main components that make up the selectively permeable cell membrane.
What are phospholipids and proteins?
The complementary DNA base that always pairs with Guanine.
What is cytosine?
The cellular location where the initial stage of respiration (glycolysis) takes place in all cells.
What is cytoplasm?
The small, circular ring of DNA found naturally in bacterial cells.
What is a plasmid?
What is osmosis?
The organelle located in the cytoplasm where proteins are assembled from amino acids.
What is the ribosome?
The high-energy molecule generated during glucose breakdown that transfers chemical energy for cellular activities.
What is ATP?
Two organelles found in a typical plant cell that are never found in a typical animal cell.
What are cell walls, chloroplasts, or large vacuoles? (Any 2)
The structural term for a plant cell that has lost water, causing its cell membrane to pull away from its cell wall.
What is plasmolysed?
The single-stranded molecule that carries a complementary copy of the genetic code from the nucleus to a ribosome.
What is mRNA (messenger RNA)?
