Science Biology Flashcards
Magnification
When an image is made bigger than it seems through a special lens
Cell wall
A protective layer that surrounds plant cells
Specialised cell
A cell that is designed to do one job that other cells cannot do
Red blood cell adaptations
A red blood cell has a large surface area which allows more oxygen. Carries oxygen
Vacuole
Is found in plant cells it contains all sticky liquid called sap
Nerve cell adaptations
Nerve cells carry electrical impulses around your body. They are long and thin and connections at each end where they can join to other nerve cells. This allows them to transmit messages around the body
Diffusion
Is the movement of particles from an area of high density to a place of low density
Organism
Is a living thing
Chloroplast
This is where photosynthesis happens
Egg cell adaptations
Jelly layer protects cell and attracts sperm
Rate of diffusion
How fast the particles move
Nucleus
This controls the cell and contains DNA
Microscope
A device used by scientists to observe things that we can not see with the naked eye
Sperm cell adaptations
Streamlined head and long tail the tail swims because they have lots of mitochondria which transfers energy.
Binary fission
This is how unicellular organisms reproduce and basically clone the cell creating an identical cell
