2.1,2.2 cell structure and organism, size of structure Flashcards
(33 cards)
plant cell organism
cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, ribosomes,
chloroplasts, vacuole
animal cell organism
cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, ribosomes, vacuole
what do plant cells have that animal cells don’t?
cell wall , chloroplasts, maybe vacuole (small and temporary)
nucleus
controls cell activities, contains DNA
cytoplasm
where chemical reactions occur
cell membrane
controls movement of substances in and out
mitochondria
site of respiration , produces energy (ATP)
ribosomes
makes proteins
cell wall
provide structure and support
chloroplasts
photosynthesis (contains green pigment chlorophyll)
vacuole
stores water, nutrients and waste
structure of prokaryotic cells (bacterial cell)
cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, circular DNA, plasmids, ribosomes, (sometimes) flagellumc
circular DNA (found in prokaryotic cell)
A single loop of DNA floats freely in the cytoplasm; controls cell functions (no nucleus).
plasmids
Small rings of DNA; carry extra genetic information like antibiotic resistance.
flagellum
A tail-like structure that helps the cell move.
eukaryotic cells
e.g plants animals fungi protists
how are new cells produced
new cells are produced by division of
existing cells
specialised cells
ciliated cells, root hair cells, palisade mesophyll cells
neurones, red blood cells, sperm and egg cells (gametes)
ciliated cells
movement of mucus in the trachea and bronchi
root hair cells
absorption
palisade mesophyll cells
photosynthesis
neurones
conduction of electrical impulses
red blood cells
transport of oxygen
sperm and egg cells (gametes)
reproduction
