Structure of cells Flashcards
animal cells have…
a cell membrane, a nucleus, cytoplasm and a nucleolus
plant cells have…
a cell wall, chloroplasts, cytoplasm, a cell membrane, a vacuole, a nucleus and nucleolus
there are differences between plant and animal cells, which are they?
plants have a cellulose wall, a permanent shape (determined by the cell wall), chloroplasts, and a large permanent vacuole in cytoplasm containing cell sap. animals do not have any of these, except for the shapes that vary since there is no cell wall and a vacuole, which is small and does not contain cell sap.
what they do have in common is that they both have a cell membrane, a nucleus and cytoplasm
what are the functions of the cell membrane?
.forms barrier between cell and surroundings
.keeps contents of cell inside
.allows simple substances to enter and leave the cell
.controls movement of other substances into and out of cell
.partially permeable
what are the functions of the nucleus?
.controls all activities in cells
.controls how cells develop
what is the function of the cytoplasm?
.place where many chemical reactions take place
what are the functions of the chloroplast?
.photosynthesis
.stores starch
what are the functions of the cell wall?
.stops cells from bursting when they fill with water
.gives shape to cells
.allows water and dissolved substances to pass through freely (fully permeable)
what are the functions of the sap vacuole?
.full of water to maintain shape and ‘firmness’ of cell
.stores salts and sugars
cells of organisms classified as prokaryote kingdom contain which of the following?
a-cell membrane, enzymes, nucleus, vesicles
b-cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes
c-cytoplasm, DNA, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes
d-cytoplasm, DNA, enzymes, mitochondria
b-cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes
which is not found in an animal cell?
