Cells Flashcards
Eukaryotic cell
Cells whose genetic material is contained within a nucleus
Prokaryotic cell
Cells whose genetic material floats within the cytoplasms
Name the organelles ALL eukaryotic cells contain.
*Nucleus
*Cell membrane
*Mitochndria
*Cytosplasm
Name the EXTRA subcellular structures found in plants to animal cells.
*Chloroplast
*Cell Wall
*Vacuole
Function of the nucleus
-Controlling the activities in the cell
-Contains the organisms genetic material, arranged as chromosomes
-Determines cells appearance and function
-The ‘power-house’ of the cell.
-Provides energy by respiration
Mitochondria
Function of the cell membrane
-Holds the cell together
-Controls what goes in and out of the cell
Transfers energy, makes things, and stores food.
The cytoplasm
What are ribosomes and what is their function?
Ribosomes are where proteins are made in the cell.
What is a a vacuole and what is its function?
It helps keep the cell rigid, pushing outwards.
Cell wall
It gives the cell rigidity and supports the cell.
