Cell Parts And Their Function Flashcards
Define Cell membrane:
Regulates what comes into/out of the cell
Define Cytoplasm:
A jelly-like substance containing cell parts
Define Organelles:
Organelles are like “mini organs”
Small compartments in the cell
-different structures + functions
-work together
Define Mitochondria:
The mitochondria uses chemical reactions to break down sugar molecules
—> releases energy
Define Nucleus:
The Nucleus is an “info database”
Contains genes (special instructions cells use to carry out functions)
Define Chloroplast:
And where is it only found?
Chloroplast is only found in plant cells
Responsible for carrying out photosynthesis, Chloroplast also give plants their green colour
—> produce sugar (plant cells use sugar as food)
Define cell wall:
Where is it only found?
Where in a cell is it located?
The cell wall is outside the cell membrane and is only found in plant cells)
Provides structure to the cell
Explain how Chloroplasts and Mitochondria work together.
Chloroplasts creates sugar through photosynthesis, Mitochondria then converts sugar into energy the cell can use
