What is the Cell Theory? - Answer✔Cells are the basic unit of life
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells
New cells are generated only from preexisting cells
What are the kinds of prokaryotic cells? - Answer✔Bacteria and Archaea
What are the kinds of Eukaryotic cells? - Answer✔Plants, Animals, Fungi, Protists and other
complex unicellular organisms

What are the characteristics of Bacteria? - Answer✔small, few micrometres long
invisible to the naked eye
single celled by may join together to form other structures
tough protective cell wall
cell interior has a matrix of varying textures
some do photosynthesis
exploit large range of habitats

What are the characteristics of Eukaryotic cells? - Answer✔store DNA in the nucleus
Large
Large genome
What is the Plasma Membrane? - Answer✔selective barrier that separates a cell from its
surrounding
What is the Plasma Membrane made up of? - Answer✔phospholipid bilayer embedded with
proteins and may be covered in carbohydrates
What does the Plasma Membrane do? - Answer✔facilities intra and extracellular
communication through budding and fusing of vesicles in the processes of endo and exocytosis
What is the Nucleus? - Answer✔it contains most of the DNA of the cell
What is the Nucleus made up of? - Answer✔enclosed within two concentric membranes which
forms the nuclear envelope and it is perforated by nuclear pores
What is the Mitochondria? - Answer✔harnesses energy from the oxidation of food molecules to
produce usable energy for the cell (ATP)
How to Mitochondria replicate? - Answer✔they contain their own DNA and reproduce by
dividing
What is the Mitochondria made up of? - Answer✔enclosed within two membranes, a smooth
outer membrane and a highly convoluted inner membrane
The inner membrane is formed into folds that project into the interior of the organelle
What are Chloroplasts? - Answer✔large green organelles generally found in plants and algae
that capture energy from sunlight
What do Chloroplasts do? - Answer✔carry out photosynthesis to trap energy of sunlight and
use it to make sugar molecules and release oxygen as a byproduct
How do Chloroplasts replicate? - Answer✔they contain their own DNA and reproduce by
dividing
What are Chloroplasts made up of? - Answer✔enclosed within two membranes and also posses
internal stacks of membranes that contain chlorophyll
What is chlorophyll? - Answer✔green pigment that facilitates energy capture
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum? - Answer✔an irregular maze of interconnected spaces
enclosed within a membrane that is continuous with the nuclear envelope
