biology paper 1 Flashcards
eukaryotic
a cell with a nucleus
cell membrane
controls what enters and leaves and seperates one cell from another
cytoplasm
contains a watery jelly and is where most of the cells activities occur
mitochdrion
jelly-bean shaped structures in which aerobic resperation occurs
nucleus
controls the cell and its activities
chromosones
contain the cells DNA
ribosomes
these make new protiens for a cell
aerobic resperation
a chemical reaction that occurs in living cells when oxygen is present to break down food molicules and release energy
cell wall
supports and protects the cell
chloroplasts
contain chlorophyll which traps energy transferred from the sun
chlorofyll
traps energy from the sun
vacuole
this stores cell sap and helps keep the cell firm and rigid
cell snap
a watery liquid stored in the vacuole of a plant cell
