KA1.1 Cell Structure Flashcards
what organelles are specific to PLANT CELLS?
chloroplast
What is the function of a VACUOLE ?
Plant cells have a large central vacuole which fills with fluid, or sap, which helps provide structure to the cell and the plant.
What is the function of a CHLOROPLAST?
The chloroplast is the site of Photosynthesis in the cell.
What organelle are in a FUNGAL CELL?
Cell membrane Cytoplasm Nucleus Mitochondria Ribosomes Cell wall - made from chitin Vacuole
What is the function of a RIBOSOME?
Ribosomes are the sites of protein production in cells.
What is the function of a CELL MEMBRANE?
The cell membrane contains the contents of the cell and provides a barrier to control what enters and leaves the cell.
What organelle are in a ANIMAL CELLS?
Cell membrane Cytoplasm Nucleus Mitochondria Ribosomes
what organelles are contained in PLANT CELLS?
Cell membrane Cytoplasm Nucleus Mitochondria Ribosomes Cell wall - made from cellulose Vacuole Chloroplast
What is the function of a NUCLEUS?
The nucleus controls everything which takes place in the cell.
What organelles are specific to bacterial cells?
Plasmids are small circular sections of DNA which bacteria cells have in their cytoplasm in addition to their large circular chromosome. Plasmids can be replicated rapidly and can transfer between bacterial cells easily.
What organelle are in a BACTERIAL CELL?
Cell membrane Cytoplasm Ribosomes Cell wall - made from peptidoglycan Plasmid
