Organisation of the Organism Details Flashcards
Function of cell membrane
It controls what enters/exits the cell
Function of cytoplasm
Site of metabolic reactions
Function of nucleus
Contains genetic material of the cell and coordinates the cell’s processes
Function of cell wall
Provides protection, support and structure to the cell
Function of vacuole
Stores water, nutrients and waste matter
Function of chloroplast
Performs photosynthesis(contains chlorophyll)
Function of ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
Function of mitochondria
Produce energy needed for metabolic reactions via aerobic respiration
Function of plasmids
Replicate and move between cells so genetic information can be spread(also used to create proteins)
