cells Flashcards
what is a cell
a cell is the basic building block of all living things
function of encloplamic reticulum
produces lipids (fats and proteins)
what are the 7 charateristics of living things
movement, repiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, exrecting waste and nutrition
name the animal and plant cells
nucleus, encloplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, golgi bodies, ribosomes, cell membrane, cytoplasm, chloroplast, vacuole, and cell wall
function of vacuole
large hole that stores water a nutrients for the cell
function of chloroplast
captures sunlight and turns it into energy for plants to use
function of cell wall
provides structure and protection for plant cells
function of cytoplasm
fluid that fills the cell
function of cell membrane
boundary around the cell and controls what goes in and out
function of golgi bodies
sends proteins around the cell
function of nucleus
contains genes in the form of DNA
function of mitochondria
produces energy
function of ribosomes
uses DNA blueprints to make proteins
what do you call the part of the cell between the membrane and nucleus
cytoplasm
what is the brain of the cell
nucleus
what is an organism made of more than one cell
multicellur
what is an organism made of one cell
unicellur
what is an organelle
an organelle is a subcellur structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell
what organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plants
chloroplast
what is a spcialised cell
specialised animal cells have components that allow them to complete a specific job
function of palisade cell
to carry out photosynthesis to make glucose for the plant
function of red blood cell
to transport oxygen around the body
function of root hair cell
to absorb water and mineral from the soil
function of ciliated cell
to move dust and microorganisms away from th lungs
