CELL BIOLOGY Flashcards
Eukaryotic cells are (structure and what it includes)
complex and include all animal cells
Prokaryotic cells are (eg…….)
smaller and simpler eg bacteria
Eukaryotes are made up of
eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotes are made up of and are
prokaryotic cells and are single celled organisms
Role of Nucleus
contains genetic material that controls the activities in the cell
Role of Cytoplasm
the cytoplasm is a gel like substance where most of the chemical reactions happens, contains enzymes which control these chemical reactions.
Role of Cell Membrane
controls the movement of
substances in / out of cell
Role of Mitochondria and what do they do
where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration takes place. they release energy
Role of Ribosomes
these are where proteins are made in the cell
what are subcellular structures
they are the different parts of the cell
what do plant cells have that animal do not
cell wall
permanent vacuole
chloroplasts
role of cell wall
made of cellulose, it supports the cell and strengthens it
role of permanent vacuole
contains cell sap
role of chloroplasts
- where photosynthesis occurs
- which makes food for the plants
- they contain chlorophyll
- which absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis
do bacterial cells have nucleus
no they have a single circular strand of DNA that’s floats freely in the cytoplasm
