Cells Flashcards
Bacterial cells: CCCD
Cytoplasm, Cell wall, Cell membrane, single circular strand DNA
Sperm cells: SWEM
Stream lined head (swim)
Enzymes (digestion through membrane)
Mitochondria- energy to swim
Nerve cells: CLENB
Long(More distance to carry electrical signals)
Connects to form a
Network
Branches of connections
Muscle cells: MEC
Mitochondria provides Energy for Contractions
Hair root cells: Branches with Minerals
Big Surface area for absorbing Minerals and water
Phloem/Xylem: Food can’t fit through Xylem
Phloem- carries food Xylem-carries water
Xylem is hollow and has few subcellular structures for water to flow through
Mitosis: Growing Limbs contain many divisions
Growth and Repair of cells and formation of second chromosome pair.
Line up- chromosomes line up
C-ell fibres pull them appart
M-embranes form around the chromosomes
D- ivision of cell membranes and 2 new daughter cells are formed that are identical to one another
Stem Cells: Meristems beautifully clone rare species for disease resistance
(Meristems)
(Adult)Bone marrow-contains stem cells
C-hanges are made through differentiation so the cell becomes specialised
R-eplace faulty cells
D-estroying human life (embryonic)
Rejection of stem cells
Theraputic cloning:
Embryo are made to have same information as the patient
