Cells P10 Flashcards
(18 cards)
A cell is a
Unit of living material
Unicellular orgamisms
Plants or animals that have just one cell
Multicellular organisms
Made up from a number of cells
Similar jobs of plant and animal cells
They take in food, release energy, get rid of waste, grow and reproduce
The main parts of an animal cell
The nucleus, the cell membrane, the cytoplasm
The main parts of a plant cell
Cytoplasm, the cell membrane, the vacuole, chloroplasts, the cell wall, the nucleus
The nucleus
The “control center”
Contains genetic material/dna
The cytoplasm
All living matter except the nucleus
Where chemical reactions take place
The vacuole
A karge soace filled with a liquid called cell sap
Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts contain the green chemical called chlorophyll which allows plants to photosynthesis
The cell membrane of a plant cellt
Is inside the cell wall
The cell wall
Is a rigid(firm) coating round the outside of the cell. It helps the plant cell keep its shape
Prokaryotes
Include bacteria and lack a nucleus or membrane bound structures called organelles
Eukaryotes
Include most other cells and have nucleus and membrane bound organelles (plants, fungi, animals)
Bacterial cell parts
Cell wall, cytoplasm, cell membrane, ribosomes, fragella, circular strand of dna, plasmids (extra genes)
Mitochondia
Provide energy to cells
Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
Cell membrane
Control what substances pass in and out of a cell
