1.1 Cell Structure Flashcards
name the parts of an animal cell and their function
cell membrane - controls entry and exit of substances
cytoplasm - where chemical reactions take place
mitochondria - site of aerobic respiration
nucleus - contains DNA and controls the cell
ribosome - where protein synthesis occurs
name the parts of a plant cell and their function
cell wall - provides some support, fully permeable
cell membrane - controls entry and exit of substances
vacuole - contains cell sap and maintains the pressure within the cell providing support to the plant
chloroplast - site of photosynthesis
nucleus - contains DNA and controls the cell
mitochondria - energy production - ATP produced
ribosome - where protein synthesis occurs
cytoplasm - where chemical reactions take place
name the parts of a fungi cell and their function
nucleus - contains DNA and controls the cell
cell membrane - allows entry and exit of substances
vacuole - Aids in osmoregulation, homeostasis of ions, storing amino acids and removing toxins from the cell
cytoplasm - where chemical reactions take place
cell wall - protects the cell from desiccation and gives structural strength
name the parts of a bacterial cell and their function
cytoplasm - where chemical reactions take place
cell wall - provides support and structure to the cell
cell membrane - allows entry and exit of substances
DNA loop/chromosome - genetic material
plasmids - small section of genetic material
what are plant cell walls made of
cellulose
What is the name of the small circular pieces of DNA in bacterial cells?
plasmids
Describe the composition and functions of the cell wall.
Are fully permeable, give the cell support and shape, and are made of cellulose (plants) and different materials in bacteria and fungi
Where is the genetic material of a bacterial cell found?
Free in the cytoplasm
State three differences between animal and plant cells.
Plant cells have chloroplasts, vacuole and cellulose cell wall. Animal cells do not
