Biology Flashcards
Cell membrane
Controls the movement of substances in and out of the shell
Mitochondria
Where most energy is released in respiration
Nucleus
Controls the activities of the cell
Cell wall
Strengthens the cell
Cytoplasm
Where most chemical processes take place and gives the cell its shape
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis happens here
Chloroplast
Absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. This also contains chlorophyll
Photosynthesis
Creates food by converting sunlight to the needed sugars
Vacuole
Stores food and waste and helps support the cell
Sperm cell
Found in the testes and Fertilises the egg cell
Palaside cell
Found in a plat and does photosynthesis
Egg cell
Found in the ovary and creates an embryo when fertilised
Ciliated cell
Found in lungs and moves mucus out of the lungs using its hairs
Root hair cell
Found in plant root and absorbs water from soil using its long hair to create a bigger surface area to catch and suck up water
