animal and plant cells functions Flashcards
3 organelles plant cells have and animal cells dont
cell wall, chloroplasts and permanent vacuoles
define cell membrane
a semi permiable , outer layer surrounding the cell, controlling what enters and exits the cell
cytoplasm
jelly-like substance inside the cell where various organelles are suspended and chemical reactions occur
mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell that produces energy through cellular respiration
vesicles
small membrane-bound sacs that transport substances within the cell
nucleus
the control center of the cell that contains DNA and regulates cell activities
chloroplasts
organelles that contain chlorophyll responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into glucose
permanent vacuole
a large central sac that stores water nutrients and waste products
what contains cell sap
VACUOLES
ribosome function
site of protein synthesis
cell wall
protective outer layer made of cellulose that helps support the plant and gives the cell a rigid structure
