1.1 Cell Structure Flashcards
What are cells the basic unit of?
All living organisms.
Name and identify the structures found in the cell ultrastructure of an animal cell.
Nucleus Cell membrane Cytoplasm Mitochondria Ribosomes
Name and identify the structures found in the cell ultrastructure of a plant cell.
Nucleus Cell membrane Cytoplasm Cell wall Vacuole Chloroplast Mitochondria Ribosomes
Name and identify the structures found in the cell ultrastructure of a fungal cell.
Nucleus Cell membrane Cytoplasm Cell wall Vacuole Mitochondria Ribosomes
Name and identify the structures found in the cell ultrastructure of a bacterial cell.
Cell membrane Cytoplasm Cell wall Plasmids Ribosomes
What is the difference between the cell walls in plant, fungal and bacterial cells?
Plant - made of cellulose
Fungal and bacterial - a different material
What is the function of:
Cell wall
Supports and strengthens cells
What is the function of:
Cell membrane
Controls what substances can enter and leave the cell
What is the function of:
Cytoplasm
Location of many chemical reactions
What is the function of:
Mitochondria
Location where aerobic respiration occurs and most of the cell’s ATP is produced
What is the function of:
Chloroolast
Location where photosynthesis occurs and sugar is produced
What is the function of:
Vacuole
Water storage and maintenance of turgur within the cell.
What is the function of:
Ribosomes
Location where amino acids are connected together to produce proteins
What is the function of:
Plasmids
Contains genes that help cell to function, e.g. genes for antibiotic resistance.
What is the function of:
Nucleus
Controls activities of cell
