cell organelles Flashcards
what is a prokaryotic cell
a cell without a nucleus or other membrane bound organelles e.g. a bacteria cell
what is a eukaryotic cell
a cell with a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles e.g. cheek cell
what is the role of the mitochondria
carries out respiration to release energy
what is the role of the cytoplasm
jelly-like substance where most chemical reactions occur
what is the role of the nucleus
controls the cell’s chemical reactions
what is the role of the ribosome
carries out protein synthesis
what is the role of the cell membrane
controls what substances move in and out of the cell
what is the role of the cell wall
helps keep the cell rigid
what is the role of the permanent vacuole
contains water to push the cytoplasm to the outside of the cell
what is the role of the chloroplast
contains the pigment chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis
what organelles do prokaryotic cells contain
flagellum, plasmids, cell wall, capsule, cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA
what is the role of the plasmids
contain genetic information
