Organisation of the organism Flashcards
What are the structures and functions of plant, animal and bacterial cells?
Plant cells: Photosynthesis (chloroplasts), structure (cell wall), storage (vacuole).
Animal cells: Energy (mitochondria), waste breakdown (lysosomes), structure (cytoskeleton).
Bacterial cells: Simplicity and adaptability, with basic compartments like the nucleoid and plasmids for genetic informatio
Parts of the cell plant:
cell membrane, nucleus, ribosomes, cytoplasm, ER, golgi apparatus, vacuoles, lysosomes, cell wall, chloroplasm, large central vacuole
Parts of the animal cell:
cell membrane, nucleus, ribosomes, cytoplasm, ER, golgi apparatus, vacuoles, lysosomes, centrioles
How are new cells produced?
by cell division (mitosis, meiosis or bacteria)
Two mains types of cells:
Prokaryotic and eucaryotic
