chapter 1 - 5 Flashcards
characteristic of living thing and explain
- movement = they move
- growth = grow bigger by the growth of cells or by adding more cells
- sensitivity = detect sense stimuli and respond to them
- reproduction = produce offspring
- excretion = remove toxic waste product of metabolism.
- nutrition = take in nutritious substance to provide energy.
- respiration = chemical reaction in cells break down nutrient molecule and release energy for metabolism

function of cell membrane
layer of protein and fat that controls what goes into and out of the cell , lets some substance in and not others so they are partially permeable.
function of cell wall
protects and supports the cell, fully permeable because lets any substance in and out
what group does cellulose belong to
polysaccharides
function of cytoplasm
made up of 70% water so many substances especially protein dissolved in it also where metabolic reaciton takes place.
function of vacuoles
spaces surrounded by cell membrane that contains solution. plant have large vacuole, animals have small vacuole
