Quiz Flashcards
What are all living things made of
cells
all cells a rise from
pre existing cells
the cell is the
fundamental building block in organisms
Prokaryotic Cells
No membrane bound nucleus.
No organelles.
Always unicellular.
Eukaryotic
Uni cellular or multicellular.
Animal, plant, fungi, protists cells.
Animal cells
No cell wall, No chloroplast, No large central vacuole.
Many small vacuoles.
Centrioles - involved in cell division.
Cell type examples In Humans
Nerve, blood, epithelial (lining cells), glandular cells, muscle
Plant Cells have:
Cell wall
Chloroplasts
Large central vacuole
Plant cells examples
Root cells
epidermal leaf cells
palisade cells
Nucleus function
Controls cell functions through the production of
proteins
Stores DNA and is responsible for
transmitting the information contained in the DNA
For diagram: nuclear membrane, pores, and nucleolus.
Mitochondria
Responsible for producing energy in form of ATP
Site of Aerobic respiration
For diagram: Outer membrane, matrix, cristae.
Chloroplast
Main role is to conduct photosynthesis
Contain green pigment “chlorophyll”
Contain stacks of thylakoids
The thylakoids are where the light reactions of photosynthesis take place
For diagram: Stroma, outer membrane, inner membrane, Granum, thylakoid
Vacuole
Maintain water balance isolating waste toxic substances
Golgi apparatus
Modifies proteins from rough endoplasmic reticulum
sorts and packs macromolecules ready for cell secretion
for diagram: Non attached parts
Endoplasmic reticulum
Manufacture of proteins and lipids
Formed of large double-layered membrane sheets that are stacked and connected
attached to the nucleus
For diagram: Attached parts with gaps through it
