Cells And Cell Structure Flashcards
What are the main parts of animal cells?
Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes
Which parts of a cell are found in plant cells but not animal cells?
Cell wall, chloroplasts, permanent vacuole
Name the parts of bacterial cells?
Cytoplasm, ribosomes, chromosomal DNA, a cell membrane and a cell wall
What is the function of a nucleus of a cell?
To control the activities of the cell and to store the genetic information
If a cell has adapted to do a particular function, what is it said to be?
Specialised
What is the function of cytoplasm?
To provide a place for most of the chemical reactions to take place
What is the function of a cell membrane?
To control the passage of substances into and out of the cell
What is the function of mitochondria?
To provide a place for most energy in respiration to be released
Where does protein synthesis in the cell happen?
Ribosomes
Which feature do plant cells have which help them to strengthen and support their cells?
They have cell walls made of cellulose
What is the function of chloroplasts?
They absorb light energy to make glucose (carry out photosynthesis)
What is found inside the permanent vacuole of plant cells?
Cell sap
What is important about the genetic information in a bacterial cell?
It is not inside a distinct nucleus
Name two features of a sperm cell.
Tail, lots of mitochondria, enzymes in the head, 23 chromosomes
Why do ciliated cells and sperm cells have lots of mitochondria?
They move a lot so need lots of energy
