B2.1.1 Cells and cell structure Flashcards
What are the main parts of animal cells?
- Cell membrane
- Cytoplasm
- Mitochondria
- Nucleus
- Ribosomes
Which parts of the cell are formed in plant cells but not animal cells?
- Chloroplasts
- Cell wall
- Permanent vacuole
Name the parts of the bacterial cells?
- Cytoplasm
- Ribosomes
- Genes (not a distinct nucleus)
- Cell membrane (surrounded by a cell wall)
Name the parts of a yeast cell?
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
- Cell membrane, surrounded by a cell wall
What is the function of the nucleus?
To control the activities of the cell and the contain the genetic information.
If a cell has adapted to a particular function what is it said to be?
Specialised
What is the function of the cytoplasm?
To provide a place for most chemical reactions to take place.
What is the function of the cell membrane?
To control the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
What is the function of the 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 allows them to strengthen and support the cell?
The cell wall, which is made up of cellulose.
What is the function of 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 of a bacterial cell?
It is not inside a distinct nucleus
What part is missing from a red blood cell?
A nucleus
