Eukaryotic cells Flashcards
What cells are eukaryotic cells?
animal, plant & fungal cells
Describe the roll of the Cell surfacemembrane
Controls passage of entry of substance into the cellSite of cell communication via receptors
Describe the roll of the Nucleus
Stores DNANuclear pores allow mRNA & ribosomes to pass through
Describe the roll of the Mitochondria
Carry out aerobic respiration to produce ATP
Describe the roll of the Lysosomes
Contains digestive enzymes to break down pathogens, old organelles, cells & food molecules
Describe the roll of the Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
Describe the roll of the Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Provide a large surface area for protein synthesis
Describe the roll of the Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesise, store and transport lipids and carbohydrates.
Describe the role of the Golgi Apparatus
Sort, package, and transport molecules (mainly proteins but some lipids) around the cell

- Cell surfacemembrane2. Nucleus3. Mitochondria4. Lysosomes5. Ribosomes6. Rough/ smooth endoplasmic reticulum7. GolgiApparatus
Describe the roll of the Chloroplasts
Site of photosynthesis
Describe the roll of the Cell vacuole
Maintains cell structureAct as a temporary energy store
Describe the roll of the Cell wall
Provides support &mechanical strength
