Cell structure Flashcards
Eukaryotic cells
Animal and plant cells
Prokaryotic cells
Single-celled organisms (e.g. bacteria)
Nucleus
Contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell.
Cytoplasm
Where most chemical reactions happen. Contains enzymes
Cell membrane
Controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Mitochondria
Most of the reactions for aerobic respiration take place. Respiration transfers energy
Ribosomes
Where proteins are made
Sub cellular structures in the animal cell
Nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, ribosomes, cell membrane
Cell wall
Made of Cellulose. It supports and strengthens the cell
Permanent vacuole
Contains cell sap, weak solution of sugar and salts
Chloroplasts
Contains chlorophyll. Where photosynthesis occurs
What are the sub cellular structures does a plant cell have that an animal cell doesn’t
Cell wall, permanent vacuole, chloroplasts
Plasmid
A single circular strand of DNA in the cytoplasm
What does the bacterial cell have instead of a true nucleus
Plasmids
