B1.1 - Cell Theory - Eukaryotic cells Flashcards
Idenitfy the function of a nucleus.
Controlls cell activity
Contains genetic material.
What is a type of eukaryotic cell
animal or plant cell
What is the function of the mitochondria
an organelle where aerobic respiration takes place
What is an organelle
specialised structures found within a living cell
What is the function of a chloroplast
a plant organelle where photosynthesis takes place
What is the function of ribosomes
protein synthesis
How can you tell the difference between the RER and the SER
RER is embedded with ribosomes
SER has no ribosomes
What is the structure of the golgi apparatus
a stack of membrane bound flattended sacs
What is the function of the nucleolus
makes RNA and ribosomes
What is the function of the cytoplasm
the place where metabolic reactions take place
What is the structure of the cell membrane
a phospholipid bilayer, embedded with proteins
What is the function of vesicles
to transport materials around and out of the cell
What are lysosomes
specialised vesicles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste material from inside the cell
What are centrioles
They form spindles that pull apart chromosomes during cell division
what is exocytosis
the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and secreting its contents
