What structure is found in fungus ?
cell wall , cell membrane , cytoplasm, mitochondria , vacuole , ribosomes, plasmids ( sometimes ) nucleus.
what structure found in bacteria ?
cell wall , cell membrane , cytoplasm , ribosomes plasmids and nucleus.
what is the function of cell wall ?
supports and strengthens cell.
what the function of cell membrane ?
controls what substances enter and leave a cell.
what is the function of cytoplasm ?
The fluid inside the cell membrane where many chemical reactions happen including fermentation.
What is the function of mitochondria?
The site of aerobic respiration where most ATP is produced.
what is the function of chloroplasts ?
The site of photosynthesis where sugar is produced .
what is function of vacuole ?
A compartment in the cell that stores water and helps keep the cell turgid.
What is the function Ribosomes ?
The site of protein synthesis (where the amino acids are joined together).
what the function of the plasmids ?
small circular DNA molecules that contain genes.
what the function of the nucleus ?
A compartment in the cell where DNA is stored as chromosomes.
