Looking inside Cells (Sec 2) Flashcards
What is a cell membrane and what does it do?
It’s an outside boundary that surrounds the cell and controls what substances come into and out of the cell
What is a cell wall and what does it do ?
A cell wall is made if cellulose and helps protect and support the cell

It’s a clear thick gel like fluid, and it holds all cell parts
What is mitochondria and what does it do?

What is endoplasmic reticulum and what does it do?

What are ribosomes and what do they do?
They are small, Grain like bodies and factories that produce proteins

What is chloroplast and what does it do?
It’s a large structures floating in cytoplasm and they are a spot for photosynthesis where energy is made for cell
What is a vacuole and what does it do?
A membrane-bound sack in a plant cell and it’s a storage area of cells
What is a lysosomes and what does it do?
Small round structures that have chemicals and breakdown certain materials
How can you tell the difference between a animal and plant cell?
A plant cell has chloroplasts vacuole. And a cell membrane
