plant and animal cells Flashcards
(27 cards)
animal and plant cells both have
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes
Plant cells also have
Chloroplast, permanent vacuole and a cell wall
cell membrane
controls what substances go in and out of the cell
cell wall
gives the cell support and structure
permanent vacuole
-stores water to keep cell rigid
-Helps to support the shape of the cell
-Has a jelly-like texture
ribosomes
-protein synthesis
chloroplasts
absorb light for photosynthesis
-Where photosynthesis takes place, using a green pigment called chlorophyll which is found in the chloroplast, which is needed to make food for the plant
cytoplasm
a liquid gel in which chemical reactions take place
nucleus
-Controls the activities of the cell
-Contains genetic material (including DNA)
-Cells would die without it as it wouldn’t be able to function
eukaryotic cell?
a cell containing a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
prokaryotic cell
a cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles; includes Achaea and bacteria
what is in a bacterium cell
cytoplasm
cell membrane
slime capsule
cell wall
plasmids
genetic material
flagella
flagella
assists the cell in movement
slime capsule
protects cell from physical and chemical attacks
genetic material
replication and expression
plasmids
replicate and move between cells so that genetic information can be shared.
eukaryotic
animal, protist, plant, algae,fungi
prokaryotic
bacteria, Archaea
Cell differentiation
A process where cells change shape and structure to produce different functions
Undifferentiated cell
A cell that has not yet acquired a special structure or function, such as a stem cell
Function of Mitochondria:
-Where aerobic respiration takes place to release
-Aerobic respiration uses oxygen
What is the cell wall of plant and algae cells made of and what does it do?
-Made of cellulose
-Strengthens the cell
What is cell sap?
The solution inside the vacuole stores materials such as sugars, amino acids, waste products and mineral salts
what is a cell?
-Are the basic units of life
-Are the building blocks of all living organisms
-All living things are made of cells
