Cells Flashcards
What does an animal cell have?
Cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, cytoplasm and a nucleus
What do plant cells do with carbohydrates?
Store them as glycogen
What does a plant cell have?
Cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplasts, mitochondria, ribosomes, cytoplasm, vacuole and a nucleus
What do Animal cells do with carbohydrates?
Store them as starch or sucrose
What does a fungi cell have?
Cell wall, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, vacuole and a nucleus
What do fungi cells do with carbohydrates?
Store them as glycogen
What does a bacteria cell have?
Cell wall, cell membrane, pili, flagella, plasmids, ribosomes, cytoplasm and a string of DNA
What do some bacteria have?
Chloroplasts, meaning they can photosynthesise
How do bacteria feed?
They feed of other living or dead organisms
What does the nucleus do?
Contains the genetic material (DNA) that controls the all’s activities
What does the cell membrane do?
Forms the outer surface of the cell and controls the substances that go in out
What does the mitochondria do?
Releases energy from respiration and produces ATP
What does the cytoplasm do?
A gel-like substance where the most of the cell’s chemical reactions take place and where enzymes are, that are needed for chemical reactions
What does the ribosomes do?
The site of protein synthesis
What does the vacuole do?
Contains cell sap (made of sugars and salts) which support the cells
What does the chloroplast do?
Contains the green pigment chlorophyll, which captures sunlight needed for photosynthesis, which makes food (glucose)
What does the cell wall do?
Made of cellulose in plants and chitin in fungi, it surrounds the cell membrane, supporting the cell and strengthening it
What does the DNA do?
The cells gentetic material that controls what teh cell does
What does the plasmid do?
A piece of circular DNA carrying additional genetic material
What is a pathogen?
A micro organism that causes disease
What is a specialised cell?
A cell with a particular structure or feature that allows it to carry out a particular job more effectively
How are mitochondria adapted in a specialised cell?
Many mitochondria results in lots of energy released
How are ribosomes adapted in a specialised cell?
Lots of ribosomes can result in lots of proteins being synthesised
How are chloroplasts adapted in a specialised cell?
Many chloroplasts results in lots of photosynthesis
How is the nucleus adapted in a specialised cell?
No nucleus results in more room for the oxygen carrying compound hemoglobin
