Cells - Subcellular Structures Flashcards
(11 cards)
1
Q
In Plant and Animal Cells:
Nucleus =
A
- contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell
2
Q
In Plant and Animal Cells:
Cytoplasm =
A
- gel like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen
3
Q
In Plant, Animal and Bacterial Cells:
Cell Membrane =
A
- holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out of the cell
4
Q
In Plant and Animal Cells:
Mitochondria =
A
- these are where most of the reactions for respiration take place. Respiration transfers energy that cell needs to work
5
Q
In Plant, Animal and Bacterial Cells:
Ribosomes =
A
- where proteins are made
6
Q
In Plant Cells:
Cell Wall =
A
- made of cellulose. It supports the cell and strengthens it
7
Q
In Plant Cells:
Large Vacuole =
A
- contains cell sap which is a weak solution of sugars and salts. It maintains the internal pressure to support the cell
8
Q
In Plant Cells:
Chloroplasts =
A
- these are where photosynthesis occurs, which makes food for the plant
9
Q
In Bacterial Cells:
Chromosomal DNA =
A
- controls the cell’s activities and replication. It floats free in the cytoplasm
10
Q
In Bacterial Cells:
Plasmid DNA=
A
- small loops of extra DNA that aren’t part of the chromosome. Plasmids contain genes for things like drug resistance and can be passed between bacteria
11
Q
In Bacterial Cells:
Flagellum =
A
- a long hair like structure that rotates to make the bacterium move. It can be used to move the bacteria away from harmful substances like toxins and towards beneficial things like nutrients or oxygen.
