What does the nucleus do
Contains DNA that controls the cell
What does cytoplasm do
It’s where chemical reactions happen
What does the cell membrane do
Holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out
What does mitochondria do
Where respiration happens
Transfers energy that the cell needs to work
What doe ribosomes do
Where protein synthesis happens
What does the cell wall do
Supports and strengthens cell

46 chromosomes
Are these haploid or diploid:
- bacteria
- animal
- plant
- egg
- sperm
Neither Diploid Diploid Haploid Haploid
Give and explain the role of a specialised cell
Not egg or sperm
Ciliated epithelial cell
Are to move substances
The cilia on top of the cell allow it to do this
