plant and animal cells Flashcards
animal and plant cells both have
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes
Plant cells also have
Chloroplast, permanent vacuole and a cell wall
cell membrane
controls what substances go in and out of the cell
cell wall
gives the cell support and structure
permanent vacuole
stores water to keep cell rigid
ribosomes
protein synthesis
chloroplasts
absorb light for photosynthesis
cytoplasm
a liquid gel in which chemical reactions take place
nucleus
controls cells activities
nerve cell
extended animal cell with many branches that sends electrical signals around the body long and thin
sperm cell
An animal cell with a head containing genetic material for fertilisation and a tail for swimming to the egg cell
muscle cell
An animal cell that contains sliding protein fibres to contract and allow movement
red blood cell
An animal cell that has lost its nucleus to make remove for haemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen
ciliated epithelial cell
thin hairs on its outer surface move substances in a specific direction such as mucus.
root hair cell
A plant cell which has a large surface area and thin walls to absorb water and minerals
