A

Animal and plant cells

17
Q

What is the biological function of the golgi apparatus?

A

Modifies, sorts and packages proteins for secretion out of the cell or use inside the cell.

18
Q

Which cells are chloroplasts found in?

A

Plant cells

19
Q

What is the biological function of chloroplasts?

A

Convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process.

20
Q

Which cells are mitochondria found in?

A

Animal and plant cells

21
Q

What is the biological function of the mitochondria?

A

Convert glucose in ATP to make energy available to the cell.

22
Q

Which cells is cell wall found in?

A

Plant and bacteria cells.

23
Q

What is the biological function of the cell wall?

A

Provides structure, support, and protection for the cell.

24
Q

Which cells is a cell membrane found in?

A

Animal, plants and bacteria cells

25
Q

What is the biological function of a cell membrane?

A

A thin coat of phopholipids surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell.

26
Q

What are specialized cells?

A

Cells have nucleus, the cytoplasm, the cell membrane but not all cells look the same.

They can have different sizes, different shapes nor do they perform the same functions.

Some cells have become specialised to do special jobs as part of the organ system they belong to.

27
Q

Examples of specialised cells

A

Red blood cells, leaf cells, motor neurone cells, sperm cells and plant root hair cells.

28
Q

What does it mean for a cell to be specialised?

A

A specialised cell has structure that suits its function.

29
Q

The size and shape of cells.

A

The size, shape, and the types of organelles vary among the diversity of existing cells.

30
Q

Variations

A

Variations exist among the different organisms but also among the same organism.

31
Q

Unique role

A

Each cell has its unique role in helping the body function properly.

32
Q

How do shapes help

A

The shapes of each cell help them to fulfill their roles effectively.
