What does a plant cell contain.
Cell membrane Ribosomes Cell wall or cellulose Mitochondria Cytoplasm Permanent vacuole Chloroplasts Nucleus
What does an animal cell contain
Cell membrane Ribosomes Mitochondria Cytoplasm Nucleus
What is a Cell membrane function
controls what enters and leaves the cell
What is a Cytoplasm function
site of chemical reactions
what is the function of a Nucleus
contains the genetic material (DNA)
What is the function of a Ribosome
site of protein synthesis
What is the function of Mitochondria
This is the site of respiration.
What is the function of Cellulose or cell wall
It acts ad strength and support to the plant. It is fully permeable.
What is the function of Chloroplast
This the site of photosynthesis
What is the function of Large permanent vacuole
contains cell sap
What is diffusion
the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low
concentration.
What is osmosis
the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low
concentration across a partially permeable membr
What is active transport
the movement of substances from an area of low concentration to an area of
higher concentration. Against a concentration gradient, requires ATP energy and a carrier protein in
the cell membrane
