- Plasmids
- Large circular DNA molecule
Cell wall function
Supports and strengthens the cell
Cell membrane function
Controls what substances enter and leave a cell
Cytoplasm function
The fluid inside the cell membrane where many chemical reactions take place (e.g: fermentation)
Mitochondria function
Site of aerobic respiration where most ATP is produced
Chloroplasts function
The site of photosynthesis where sugar is produced
Vacuole function
Compartment in cell that stores water and helps keep it turgid
Ribosomes function
The site of protein synthesis - where amino acids are joined together
Plasmids function
Small circular DNA molecules that contain genes
Nucleus function
Controls cell activities and stores DNA as chromosomes
What are cell walls made of?
Plant, Fungal & Bacterial
- Plant cells: made of cellulose
- Fungal & Bacterial: different chemicals
