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
Cytoplasm
This is where the chemical reactions in a
cell takes place
Specimen
This is something that you are viewing underneath the microscope
Root hair cell adaptations
Absorb water and nutrients from the soil
Cell membrane
This controls what goes in and out of the cell
Slide
The thing you place the specimen on when using a microscope
Multicellular
An organism that has more than one cell
Mitochondria
This is where respiration happens respiration produces energy
Cell
This is what organisms are made up of multicellular organisms are made up of millions of cells, different cells are specialised to do a certain job.
MRS GREN
MRS GREN stands for: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition
