Cell Functions Flashcards
(15 cards)
Nucleus
Contains DNA coding for a protein
cytoplasm
Liquid inside of cell in which chemical reaction occur
Contains enzymes
Cell membrane
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
Mitochondria
Where aerobic respiration happens providing energy for cell
Ribosomes
Where protein synthesis occurs
Chloroplasts
Where photo synthesis takes place providing food for plant
Vacuole
Contains sap found within cytoplasm
Cell wall
Provides strength to cell
Maned from cellulose
Flagella
Long thin whip like tails which allows cell to move
Chromosomal DNA
As bacteria cells have no nucleus this float in cytoplasm
Egg cell
Specialised cell which accepts a single sperm cell to develop an embryo
Sperm cell
Specialised cell to carry the male’s DNA to a egg cell for swlessful reproduction
Ciliates cell
Specialised to waft bacteria to stomach
Root hair cell
Specialised to take up water by osmosis + mineral ions by active transport from soil as mineral ions are found in the tip of the roots
Phloem cell (I think photo synthesis)
Specialised to carry the products of photosynthesis ( food ) to all parts of the plant
