Cell Biology - Cell Structure T1 Flashcards
Nucleus
Controls cell activities. Location of DNA. Found in animal, plant, fungal.
Cell membrane
Controls what can enter and leave the cell. Selectively permeable. Found in all.
Cytoplasm
Site of chemical reactions within the cell. It is a liquid that is made up of water with other substances dissolved in it. Found in all.
Cell wall
Provides support to cells that it is present in. Found in plant, bacterial and fungal.
Chloroplast
Contain the green chemical chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis. Found only in plant cells.
Vacuole
A large fluid/sap filled structure that provides support for the cell. Found in plant and fungal
Mitochondrion pl. Mitochondria
Site of aerobic respiration. Found in animal, plant and fungal.
Ribosome
Site of protein synthesis. Found in all.
Plasmid
Small circular rings of DNA that can be replicated and transferred between bacteria. Found only in bacteria.
