Q

What part of the cell makes protein?

17
Q

Which structures break down food and release energy?

A

mitochondria

18
Q

What substance do Golgi bodies prepare for secretion?

19
Q

plant cell vs animal cell

A

plant: cell wall, large vacuole, chloroplast and rectangular shape

20
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Cytoplasm contains the nutrients required by the cell to carry on its life processes. The organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm. In both plant and animal cells.

  • mostly water/fluid
  • maintains shape
  • storage
21
Q

cell membrane

A

form protective barrier around cell
Inner is phospholipid bilayer, there is hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

  • plasma membrane
  • separate inside from outside
  • regulates material entering cells
22
Q

nucleus

A

control centre of the cell-control all activities (growth + reproduction).
surrounded by nuclear envelope which contains pores to allow transport of materials

23
Q

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

A

makes fats and oils, lipids

In both plant and animal cells.
no ribosomes

24
Q

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

A

ribosomes-makes proteins

25
endoplasmic reticulum
made of a series of interconnected small tubes that carry materials through the cell.
26
Golgi bodies
receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum. Processes (modifies, sorts, and packages) proteins and lipids for delivery throughout the cell or outside of the cell. Creates mucus and lyosomes looks like a stack of flattened membranes. In both plant and animal cells.
27
Vacuole
membrane-bound organelle that stores nutrients, food and wastes, and other substances used by the cell plant cells: the central vacuole stores water for the cell. When water enters the cell, the central vacuole swells, causing the plant cell to become firm. Vesicles transport substances throughout the cell. Both plant and animal cells. storage use
28
cell wall
rigid frame around the cell that provides strength, protection, and support. In plant cell.
29
chloroplast
ooks like money/coins and they produce energy contain a green substance called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll uses energy from the Sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen in a process called photosynthesis. In plant cell.
30
Lyosome
digestion takes place waste disposal filled with enzymes that can speed up chemical reactions in the cell. *clean up system of cell
