5-Cell Structure Flashcards
Two types of electron microscope
TEM(transmission)
SEM(scanning)
What is the cell membrane made up of
Phospholipids and protein
Functions of cell membrane
Separate cell organelles and cytoplasm from outside
Controls what enters and leaves
Give support
Recognise molecules that touch them
Nucleus
Control centre of cell
Nuclear pores
Control entry and exit of molecules in and out of nucleus
Allow messenger rna
DNA
Found in structures called chromosomes
Humans have 46
Genes located on chromosomes
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes
Cytoplasm
Liquid that surrounds nucleus
Organelles suspended in cytoplasm
Most reactions take place in cytoplasm
Protoplasm
Cytoplasm and nucleus
Mitochondria
Supply energy
Site of respiration
Cells with lots of mitochondria produce lots of energy e.g. Liver
Cells with little mitochondria produce less energy e.g. Fat
Ribosomes
Made of rna and protein
Function:make proteins
Chloroplasts
Contain chlorophyll
Function:photosynthesis
Cell wall
Made of cellulose
Gives plants shape
Permeable
Supports and strengthens
Vacuoles
Membrane bound sacs within cytoplasm
Structure,storage,waste disposal,protection,growth
Eukaryotes
Membrane enclosed nucleus and organelles eg mitochondria
Eg plant and animal cells
