Cell structure Flashcards
Explain the fuction of: NUCLEUS
Stores genetic information/ controls cell activities
Explain the fuction of: CYTOPLASM
Site of chemical reactions
Explain the fuction of: CELL MEMBRANE
Controls entry and exit of materials
Explain the fuction of: MITOCHONDRION
Site of aerobic respiration
Explain the fuction of: RIBOSOME
Site of protein synthesis
Explain the fuction of: CELL WALL
Gives shape and support to the cell and stops it bursting due to osmosis (made of cellulose).
Explain the fuction of: CHLOROPLAST
Site of photosynthesis
Explain the fuction of: VACUOLE
Stores water and minerals, and when full it pushes outwards against the wall to help provide support.
