chapter 6 Flashcards
what are some special cells
red bloodcell is biconcave with no nucleus to hold more blood
sperm cell- flagellum tail to swim to egg cell
what are similarities between cells
cell membrane
nucleus
cytoplasm
mitochondria
parts of the typical animal cell
nucleus
cytoplasm
cell membrane
vacuole
what is the function of a nucleus
contains chromosones made up of dna which is our genetic material
controls all activities in the cell
what is the function of the cytoplasm
filled with jelly like substances where chemical reactions and cell activities take place
what is the function of the cell membrane
partially permeable, controls substances movement in and out of the cell
what is the function of vacuole found in animal cell
store waste air liq and food
what is found in a typical plant cell
nucleus
cell wall
cell membrane
mitochondria
large central vacuole
chloroplast
cytoplasm
what is the function of mitochondria
it is the powerhouse of the cell and releases energy from food substances
what is the function of large central vacuole found in plant cell
contains cell sap with water and dissolved sugar salt, keeps the plant cell firm and upright
what is the function of cell wall
protects the cell and gives it shape
what is the function of chloroplasts
has chlorophyll to trap sunlight and make food thru photosynthesis
what is the organisation of cells in multi cellular organisms
cells > tissues > organs > systems
what are cells
they perform specific functions
what are tissues
cells performing similar functions tgth make tissue
