Nucleus
Controls all cell activity
Plasmid
Contains genetic material
Cell membrane
Controls entry and exit of materials
Selectively permeable
Cytoplasm
Site of most chemical reactions
Fermentation
Cell wall
Maintains cell structure
Chloroplast
Sure of photosynthesis
Vacuole
Sugar storage
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of cell
Site of aerobic respiration
Ribosome
Site of protein synthesis
Diffusion
Passive
Molecules moving down a concentration gradient
Osmosis
Passive
WATER molecules moving down a concentration gradient
Active transport
Requires energy
Molecules moving up a concentration gradient
Animal cell in water
High water concentration=bursts
Lower water concentration=cell shrinks
Plant cells in water
Higher water concentration=becomes turgid
Lower water concentration=becomes plasmolysed vacuole shrinks
What are Chromosomes made up of
Genes
Bases
Adenine=thymine
Guanine=cytosine
Complementary bases
Makes up genetic code to
mRNA
MOLECULE that carries copy of genetic code from nucleus to ribosome where protein is assembled using amino acid
DNA
Carries genetic information
MOLECULE
Protein shape
Shape comes from amino acid sequence
Protein shape effects their function
Protein functions
Structural Enzymes Hormones Antibodies Receptors
