Q

Specialisation of the red blood cell

A

small and flexible- can fit through narrow vessels

bi-concave shape- maximises their surface area to absorb oxygen

thin membrane- so gases easily diffuse through

contain haemoglobin- binds to oxygen.

Q

3 major tenets of cell theory

A
  1. Cells are the basic structural unit in living organisms
  2. All livings organisms are made up of at least one cell
  3. All cells develop from pre-existing cells

Q

Function of Chloroplast

A

Site of photosynthesis
Contains chlorophyll

17
Q

Function of chlorophyll

A

Green pigment in plants
Absorb sunlight

18
Q

Function of mitochondria

A

Site of ATP synthesis
ATP is released to provide energy for the cells reactions

19
Q

Function of cytoplasm

A

Jelly like fluid that stores or holds the organells of the cell
Providee physical structure to the cell

20
Q

Function of vacuole

A

Stores salts, ions, sugars, cell sap
Keeps cell turgid
Controls the water content of the cell

21
Q

Function of the cell membrane

A

Selectively permeable
Controls the movement of substances in and out the cell

22
Q

Function of cell wall

A

Provides mechanical structure
Resists tugor pressure
Made up of cellulose

23
Q

Function of the nucleus

A

Controls all the activities of the cell
Store genetic material

24
Q

Function of Rough ER

A

Transport mRNA from the nucleus to the ribosomes
Transport proteins

25
Function of Ribosomes
Site for protein synthesis Makes proteins
26
Function of Golgi bodies
Produces secretory vesicles
27
Function of secretory vesicles
Store, transport, and digest cellular products and waste
28
What are Lysosomes
Digestive enzymes that breaks down all types of biological polymers
