Cell Structure Flashcards
What is a eukaryotic cell?
A cell that contains a nucleus
Complex structures
What is a prokaryotic cell?
A prokaryotic cell doesn’t have a nucleus.
They are simpler and smaller
Example of eukaryotic cell
Animal and plants
Example of Prokaryotic cells
Bacterium
Name the 5 sub-cellular structures in animal and plants cell
Cell membrane
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Ribosome
Mitochondria
Name 3 sub-cellular structures that is found only in plant cells
Cell wall
Chloroplast
Permanent Vacuole
The function of the Nucleus
Contains genetic material (DNA) and controls the activity in the cell
The function of the Cell membrane
Controls what goes in and out of a cell
The function of the Cytoplasm
Jelly-like substance where chemical reaction takes place.
The function of the Mitochondria
Site of aerobic respiration
The function of Ribosomes
Site of Protein synthesis
The function of the cell wall
Made with cellulose and it strengthens and supports the cell
The function of the vacuole
Contains cell sap to keep the cell turgid (swollen) and to hold its shape
The function of the chloroplasts
The site of photosynthesis
which contains a green pigment called chlorophyll which makes photosynthesis take place.
Name the 6 sub-cellular structures in Bacterium (prokaryotic cell)
Cell wall
Cell membrane
Ribosome
Circular strand of DNA
Plasmids
Flagellum
