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, cell membrane, 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 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 a mitochondria
to provide a place for most of the 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 to carry out photosynthesis
what is found inside a 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
