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
Xylem cell
A hollow plant cell with thick walls containing lignin to transport water and minerals through the plant
phloem cell
A living plant cell with sieve plate pores to transport dissolved sugars throughout the plant
leaf palisade cell
form photosynthesis - they contain many chloroplasts for this.
eukaryotic cell?
a cell containing a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
prokaryotic cell
a cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles; includes Achaea and bacteria
what is in a bacterium cell
cytoplasm
cell membrane
slime capsule
cell wall
plasmids
genetic material
flagella
flagella
assists the cell in movement
slime capsule
protects cell from physical and chemical attacks
genetic material
replication and expression
plasmids
replicate and move between cells so that genetic information can be shared.
eukaryotic
animal, protist, plant, algae,fungi
prokaryotic
bacteria, Archaea
Cell differentiation
A process where cells change shape and structure to produce different functions
Undifferentiated cell
A cell that has not yet acquired a special structure or function, such as a stem cell
