Cell parts (P1) Flashcards
What cell parts are in both plant and animal cells?
Ribosome, mitochondria, cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane
What cell parts are in only plant cells?
Chloroplast, vacuole, cell wall
Nucleus
Controls the activity of the cell
Mitochondria
Aerobic respiration happens here releasing energy
Chloroplast
Light energy is absorbed and changed into food through photosynthesis
Ribosome
Proteins are made (synthesized) here
Vacuole
Full of cell sap and maintains shape
Cell wall
Made of cellulose and strengthens the cell
Cell membrane
Controls the passage of substance in and out of the cell
Cytoplasm
Where most reactions take place
DNA vs chromosome vs gene
DNA contains the genetic code for organisms
Chromosomes carry genetic information in the form of genes
Genes have thousands encoded to form the genetic material
