B2.1.1 Cells and cell structure Flashcards
What are the main parts of animal cells?
Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes
Which parts of a cell are found in plant cells but not animal cells?
Cell wall, chloroplasts, permanent vacuole
Name the parts of bacterial cells
Cytoplasm, ribosomes, genes (that are not a distinct nucleus) and a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall.
Name the parts of a yeast cell
Nucleus, cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall.
What is the function of a nucleus of a cell?
To control the activities of the cell and to store the genetic information.
If a cell has adapted to do a particular function, what is it said to be?
Specialised
What is the function of cytoplasm?
To provide a place for most of the chemical reactions to take place.
What is the function of a cell membrane?
To control the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
What is the function of mitochondria?
To provide a place for most of the energy in respiration to be released.
Where does protein synthesis in the cell happen?
Ribosomes
Which feature do plant cells have which help them to strengthen and support their cells?
They have cell walls made of cellulose
What is the function of the chloroplasts?
They absorb light energy to make glucose (carry out photosynthesis)
What is found inside the permanent vacuole of plant cells?
Cell sap
What is important about the genetic information in a bacterial cell?
It is not inside a distinct nucleus
What part is missing from a red blood cell?
A nucleus
