Cell Biology Flashcards
Nucleus
This is what controls the cell and also contains DNA
Cell Membrane
Controls what comes in and out of the cell
Cell Wall
Found in plant cells is what helps protect the cell
Cytoplasm
Where all chemical reactions take place
Mitochondria
Where respiration (releasing energy) comes from
Ribosomes
Where protein is made
Chloroplast
contains chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place
Vacuole
This contains sugar solution and provides the cell structure
Similarities between the cells?
Things the same are like the nucleus which controls the cells also the cytoplasm which is outside the surface of the nucleus where chemical reactions take place also ribosomes, mitochondria and the cell membrane
The head contains genetic information and an enzyme to help penetrate the egg cell membrane
sperm cell
It allows the ____ ______ cell to contain more hemoglobin and therefore, carry more oxygen molecules. It also allows the cell to have its distinctive biconcave shape which aids diffusion
Red Blood
What is osmosis?
a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one
Guard cells adaptions
Allow gas exchange and controls water loss within a leaf
White blood cells
Irregular shape to squeeze out of blood vessels
