Cells Flashcards
what are cells
the building blocks of all living things
unicelluar cells
single celled
multi celluar
many cells
3 Types of Cells
Fungal Cells
Plant Cells
Animal Cells
Organelles
small parts of the cell
Cell equation
glutose gos into oxygen, carbon dioxide goes out + water
phyotosynthesis sum
water-> carbon dioxide + light –> glucose –> oxygen
nucleaus
the control centre that contains DNA for functioning and reproduction
mitochondria
generates chemical energy to power cells
ribosomes
small organelles responsible for making protein
cytoplasm
the liquid/gel like part of the cell that stores all the organelles
cell membrane
protective barrier around the cell that allows thinks to go in and out
cell wall (plant/fungal)
tough protective layer surrounding the cells
vacuole
storage compartment within cell that stores the waste.
chloroplast
*plant cell
where photosynthesis takes place
chlorophyll
gives plants their green colour
fungi understanding
fungi can be uni or multicellular, they have traits of both animal and plant cells, they have a cell wall but not chloropylast
