cell biology - animal and plant cells Flashcards
animal cells sub cellular structures?
nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes
function of nucleus
contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell
function of cytoplasm
jelly like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen. it contains enzymes controlling these chemical reactions
function of cell membrane
holds cell together and controls substances in and out of the cell
function of mitochondria
where most reactions for aerobic respiration take place. respiration transfers energy that the cell needs to work
function of ribosomes
where proteins are made. site of protein synthesis
sub cellular structures of a plant cell
cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, ribosomes, cell wall, permanent vacuole, chloroplasts
plant cell have a _________
regular shape
function of cell wall
made of cellulose. supports cells and strengthen it
function of permanent vacuole
contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts
function of chloroplast
contain chlorophyll which is a green substance absorbing light for photosynthesis. site of photosynthesis which makes food for the plant.
