Biology 1 {b1} cell structures Flashcards
cell level system (23 cards)
what is DNA
genetic material
were is DNA found
nucleus of the cell
what is DNA stored as
Chromasomes
what is the function of the cytoplasm
were most chemical reactions take place
what is the function of the ribosomes
were proteins are made
what does the mitochondria do
were cellular respiration takes place
what do the mitochondria contain
enzymes needed for respiration
what is the main role of the cell membrane
selective barrier/controls what goes in and out of the cell
what does the cell membrane contain
receptor cells
what are receptor cells needed for
so the molecules can communicate with the cell
what are the 2 organelle only found in plant cell but not found on an animal cell
cell wall and chloroplast
what is the role of the cell wall
gives support for the cell
what is the process called that is carried out by chloroplast
photosynthesis
what is the green substance called that is found in the chloroplast
chlorophyll
what are the 2 types of cell
eukaryotic and prokaryotic
what is one difference between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (hint what does one contain that the other doesn’t)
only eukaryotic cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus
what is a second difference between the eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells (hint size)
the eukaryotic cells are larger than the prokaryotic cells
what is the size of a prokaryotic cell
0.1 to 5.0 micrometers
what is the size of a eukaryotic cell
10 to 100 micrometers
what type of cell is a plant cell
eukaryotic
what type of cell is a bacteria cell
prokaryotic
what type of cell is an animal cell
eukaryotic
what do prokaryotic cells contain instead of a nucleus
nucleoid
