cell structure Flashcards
What is found in a plant cell ?
Cell wall Cell membrane Cytoplasm Mitochondria Vacuole Chloroplasts Nucleus Ribosomes
What is the function of the nucleus?
Contains the genes which are carried in the chromosomes
Controls the cell
What is found in an animal cell ?
Cell membrane Cytoplasm Mitochondria Nucleus Ribosomes
What is the function of the cell wall?
Extra support structure.
It is made out of cellulose
What is the function of the vacuole?
Stores the plant cells extra energy in the form of cell sap
It is a weak solution of sugar and salts
What is the function of cytoplasm?
Where most of the chemical reactions happen.
Made up of a gel like substance.
Contains enxymes that control the chemical reactions.
What is the function of mitochondria?
This is where the cell carries out respiration.
Respiration releases energy that the cell needs to work.
What is the function of the cell membrane?
Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Holds the cell together.
ribosomes
Tiny structures where protein synthesis occurs.
Chloroplasts
Absorb light energy for photosynthesis
Cell wall
Strengthens the cell and supports the plant
Permanent vacuole
Filled with cell sap to help keep the cell turgid
