1
Main cell organelles
Ribosome
Mitochondria
Golgi
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Chloroplast
Lysosomes
Vacuole
Nucleus
2
Function and location of ribosome
Makes proteins
Found in cytoplasm
3
Function of the Mitochondria
The powerhouse of the cell
Produces energy
Found in cytoplasm
4
Function and location of Golgi
Sorting and processing proteins which are then released
Found in cytoplasm next to er
5
Rough endoplasmic reticulum location and function
Assembles proteins
Found in cytoplasm
6
Chloroplast location and function
Conducts photosynthesis
Found in plant cells
7
Function and location of lysosomes
Digest excess of worm our organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria
8
Vacuole function and location
Provides support or rigidity and storage for nutrients and waste matter and can decompose complex molecules
Found in cytoplasm
9
Nucleus location and function
Stores DNA
Cells heredity
Found in centre of nucleus but can depend on cell type
10
Define prokaryote and give an example
Unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures and therefore do not have a nucleus
An example is bacteria
11
Define eukaryote and provide an example
Organisms made up of cells that posses a membrane bound nucleus (that hold genetic material) as well as membrane bound organelles
Examples are plant and animal cells
12
Plant cells key features
Have:
choloroplasts
Vacuole
Cell wall
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
13
Animal cells key features
Cell membrane
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
14
Difference between plant and animal cells
The main difference between plant and animal cells is that plant cells have chloroplasts and a cell wall and animal cells don't.
15
Lactase
Breaks down sugar (lactose)
16
Amylase
Breaks down carbohydrates (in mouth-saliva)
17
Profease
Breaks down proteins
18
Lipase
Breaks down fats
19
What do enzymes do
Speed up chemical reactions
20
What are enzymes and what are they made of
Biological catalysts
Made of Proteins
