Plant & Animal cells and Cell size Flashcards
- Sub-cellular organisms of a single ceelled structure. - Cell size/measurements - Order of magnitude
Name the cell structure of an animal cell
Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm,
Name the cell structure of a plant cell
Nucleus, Vacuole, Cell wall, Cell membrane, cytoplasm, chloroplasts
Name the function of a Nucleus
Contains DNA
Controls activities of the cell
DNA is organiized into chromosomes
Name the function of a cell membrane
Controls what goes in and out of the cell
Name the function of the cytoplasm
where most chemical reactions take place in the cell
Name the function of a vacuole
Surrounded by cell sap and a membrane
permanent structures in the plant
Name the function of a chloroplast
Found in plant cells above the ground contains chlorophyll (green substance) that absorbs light needed for photosynthesis
Name the function of a cell wall
Additional layer outside the membrane
Only found in plants as it contains cellulose fibres that provide strenth to the cell structure
Does not regulate what goes in and out of cell
