biology y9 Flashcards
What is magnification?
Imagine divided by Actual size
What do ribosomes?
Protein-syenthesis
What does the cell membrane do?
Control movement of liquid in and out of the cell
What does the cell wall do?
Provides support and strength for the cell.
What does the nucleas do?
It stores genetic material (DNA) and control cell activity
What does the mitrochondria do?
It provides energy for the cell through respiration
What does the cytoplasm do?
Where most chemical reactions take place.
What is a partialy perm-able membrane?
Something that only allows certain substances through.
What is osmois?
The movement of water molecules across a partially perm-able membrane. From a concertrated solution to a dialute solution.
What is diffusion?
The movement of particles from a high concertration to a low concertration
What do both plant cells and animal cells have?
cell membrane , mitchrondria , ribosomes , nucleas and cytoplasm.
What features does a plant cell have that a animal cells does not?
Chloropast , Cell Wall and Vacuole.
What is active transport?
The movement of substances between their against their concertration gradient using energy from respiration.
When is active transport useful in plant cells/animal cells?
In animal cells, it is used in the gut to absorb nutrients from our food.
In plant cells, Root hair cells absorb minerals from the soil.
How are sperm cells specialised?
They have a long tail, stream lined head, lots of mitrochondria and enzymes to help digest the cell membrane of a egg cell. (All for reporduction)
