4.1.1.2 Animal and Plant Cells Flashcards
1
Q
What are the different parts of a cell called?
A
- subcellular structures
2
Q
What is the function of the nucleus in an animal and plant cell?
A
- contains DNA coding for a particular protein needed to build new cells
- controls activities of the cell
- enclosed in a nuclear membrane
3
Q
What is the function of the cytoplasm in an animal and plant cell?
A
- gel-like substance
- where most of the chemical reactions happen
- contains enzymes that control chemical reactions
- organelles are found in it
4
Q
What is the function of the cell membrane in an animal and plant cell?
A
- hold the cell together
- controls what goes in and out
5
Q
What is the function of the mitochondria in an animal and plant cell?
A
- most of the reactions for aerobic respiration take place
- respiration transfers energy that the cell needs to work
6
Q
What is the function of the ribosomes in an animal and plant cell?
A
- protein synthesis
- where proteins are made
- found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum
7
Q
What is the function of the cell wall in a plant cell and algal cells?
A
- rigid
- made of cellulose
- supports the cell and strengthens it
8
Q
What is the function of the permanent vacuole in a plant cell?
A
- contains cell sap
- a weak solution of sugar and salts
- found within the cytoplasm
- improves cell’s rigidity
9
Q
What is the function of the chloroplasts in a plant cell?
A
- where photosynthesis occurs
- makes food for the plant
- contain chlorophyll pigment which absorbs light needed for photosynthesis
10
Q
What are the subcellular structures of a bacterial cell?
A
- cytoplasm
- cell membrane
- cell wall
- singular strand of DNA/plasmids
- ribosomes
11
Q
