What characteristics differ from plant cells and animal cells
Plant cells also include:
-cell wall
-chloroplast
-permanent vacuole
Structure of a bacteria cell
-Cell wall
-Cell membrane
-circular loop of DNA
-plasmid
-ribosomes
-cytoplasm
Function of nucleus
-contains chromosomes made of the genetic material which controls all the activities of the cells
Function of cytoplasm
-jelly like substance where many metabolic reactions take place
-supports internal cell structures
-a gel like substance composed of water and dissolved solutes
Function of cell membrane
-partially permeable so some substances will go through some won’t
-hold the cell together
-seperates the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell
Function of ribosomes
-site of protein synthesis
Function of mitochondria
-energy is released from glucose
Function of cell wall
-protect the cell
-supports the cell
-gives shape to the cell
Function of chloroplast
-contains green chlorophyll and enzymes for photosynthesis
Function of vacuole
-contains cell sap:a solution of sugar and salt dissolved in water
Storage for certain materials
Function of plasmid
-contains extra genes to those found in the chromosomal DNA
What did specialised cell
Cells which have developed certain characteristics in order to perform particular functions
