KA1 - cell structure
Cell structure that is the site of protein synthesis
Ribosome
Substance composed of a chain of amino acids. A component of the cell membrane along with phospholipids.
Proteins
Phrase to describe the unique "twisted ladder" shape of DNA molecules.
Double helix
Division of the nucleus of a cell that leads to the production of two genetically identical dioloid daughter cells.
Mitosis
Draw and label a cell membrane
Phospholipids and proteins labelled
Circular genetic material present in bacterial cells and used in genetic engineering.
Plasmid
A description of a plant cell that has become swollen due to water gain but does not burst due to its cell wall.
Turgid
A section of DNA that codes for a protein
Gene
The centre area of a cell where chromosomes line up during mitosis
Equator
Chromosome
Jelly-like liquid containing cell structures and the site of many chemical reactions in the cell. Found in all cells.
Cytoplasm
A phrase to describe a membrane that controls the movement of molecules depending on their size.
Selectively permeable
The substance that carries a complementary copy of the genetic code from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes for proteins to be made.
Word that can be used to describe a cell containing one set of chromosomes
Haploid
Word used to describe what happens to a red blood cell when it is placed in a solution of pure water
Bursts
Site of aerobic respiration
Mitochondria
The passive movement of molecules from a high to a low concentration down a concentration gradient and through a selectively permeable membrane.
Diffusion
Word that describes pairing together i.e. DNA base pairing
Complementary
Unspecialised cell capable of dividing in order to self-renew. They have the potential to become different cell types.
Embryonic stem cells
Draw and label a fungal cell
Include cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, ribosomes, cytoplasm
Structural carbohydrate which plant cells are made of
Cellulose
The movement of molecules down a concentration gradient that does not require energy. Examples are diffusion and osmosis.
Passive transport
Names of the four bases
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine
The number of chromosomes present in an organisms typical cells
Chromosome complement
Describe and draw a stage of mitosis
