Plant&Animal Cells 🧫 Flashcards
Aerobic respiration
A type of respiration in which oxygen is used to release energy from substances (glucose)
Cell (surface) membrane
The membrane that controls what goes into and out of a cell. It is often called the cell surface membrane because eukaryotic cells contain other structures with membranes
Cell sap
Liquid found in the permanent vacuole
Cell wall
A tough layer of material around PLANT cells it’s used for protection and support. Bacteria have a flexible cell wall plants have a stiff one.
Chlorophyll
The green substance found inside chloroplasts. Traps energy transferred by light.
Chloroplasts
A green disc containing chlorophyll. Found in plant cells. Where the plant makes glucose using photosynthesis.
Chromosome
A structure found in the nuclei of cells. Each chromosome contains one really long DNA molecule.
Cytoplasm
The watery jelly inside the cell where the cells activities take place.
DNA
A substance that contains genetic information. DNA=Deoxyribonucleic acid
Eukaryotic
Are cells where the nucleus is enclosed in a plasma membrane.
Field of view
The circle of light you see looking down a microscope.
Mitochondrion/mitochondria
A sub-cellular structure in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells where aerobic respiration takes place .
Nucleus
The ‘control centre’ of a eukaryotic cell
Ribosome
Tiny sub-cellular structure that makes protein
Scale bar
A line drawn on a magnified image that shows a certain distance with magnification
