function of components in a cell Flashcards
what is the function of a chloroplast
light energy is converted into starch (photosynthesis)
what is the function of a cell wall
support the cell and give it it’s shape
what is the function of a mitochondria
produce energy through respiration (the power house of the cell)
what is the function of a cytoplasm
make chemical reactions
what is the function of a vacuole
the storage/trash bin of the cell, hold shape
what is the function of a cell membrane
control what moves in and out of the cell
what is the function of a ribosome
proteins are made here
what is the function of a nucleus
control the activity of the cell
what are two difference between a plant and animal cell
there is no cell wall, there is no chloroplast
why do plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells dont
animals have a solid structure such as a skeleton in humans but plants do not so they support themselves with their cell
