Cells Flashcards
(14 cards)
Function of nucleas
Controls and regulates the activities of the cell and carried the genes, structures that contain hereditary information
Function of chloroplast
the site of photosynthesis, which is required to make glucose for the plant
Function of cell membrane
Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell
Function of the cytoplasm
A jelly-like material that contains dissolved nutrients and salts and structures called organelles. It is where many of the chemical reactions happen.
Function of large vacuole plant cell
stores both organic as well as inorganic molecules along with water to support the organelles.
Function of mitochondria
the place where aerobic respiration occurs, producing energy needed for the cell to survive and function and contains enzymes for cellular respiration
Function of cell wall
provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress
Function of ribosomes
the site of protein synthesis in the cell
Function of vacuole animal cell
Storage areas for food, minerals, and waste
Difference between animal cell and plant cell
Plant cells have a cell wall in addition to a cell membrane, whereas animal cells have only a cell membrane
What are plasmids
Small rings of dna in prokaryotic cells. Can move between cells
Do prokaryotic cells have a nucleas
No
Do prokaryotic cells have mitochondria or chloroplast
Don’t have chloroplast
Function of meristem in growth of plant
Allow plants to grow and repair to damaged tissues through cell division
