Cells (Rev1) Flashcards
(21 cards)
What type of cell are there
Animal and plant
What cells make up the human body
Animal cells
What is the average size of an animal cell
10-30 micrometers
What are all the organelles
N. C. C. M. R. C . P. A. C. P Nucleus Cytoplasm Cell membrane Mitochondria Ribosomes Chloroplasts Permanent Vacuole Algae Cell wall Plasmid
What is the nucleus
Controls all activities of the cell
What is the cytoplasm
The liquid gel in a cell where everything in a cell is
What is the cell membrane
Controls the what enters and leaves the cell, movement if substances
What is the mitochondria
Where aerobic respiration happens, releasing energy for the cell
What is the ribosome
Where protein synthesis happens, making all the proteins needed for the cell
What is the chloroplast
Absorbs light so the plant can make food through photosynthesis
What is the permanent vacuole
Keeps the cell rigid to support the plant (contains water)
What is the algae
Simple quatic organisms. Make their own food through photosynthesis
What is the cell wall
Made if cellulose that strengthens the cell and gives it support
What is the plasmid
Ring of DNA
What do animal cells contain
Cell membrane Mitochondria Cytoplasm Nucleus Ribosomes
What do plant cells contain
Cell wall Cytoplasm Cell membrane Chloroplasts Ribosomes Mitochondria Permanent vacuole Nucleus
What are the specialised cells
Sperm Nerve Muscle Root hair Xylem Phloem
The 2 types of cell
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes
Oldest cell type Small and simple Lack nucleus Lack organelles Single celled Single circular chromosome
Eukaryotes
Evolved from prokaryotes Larger and more complex Contain nucleus Contain organelles Single or multi celled Multiple linear chromosomes
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes similarities
Have DNA
Have ribosomes
Have cytoplasm
Have plasma membrane
