Structure Of The Cell Flashcards
What is the function of the vacuole
Storage unit
Stores water food and waste
What is the function of the lysosomes
Vacuole cleaner
Digests waste and damaged organelles
What is the function of the nucleus
Control center of cell
Contains DNA
What is the function of the mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell
Site of cellular respiration
What are the functions of ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
Translation of MRNA
Structure of the cell membrane
Made of phospholipid bi layer backgrounds
Carbohydrate: outside of cell membrane helps attatch to other cells and cell recognition
What is the cell membrane
Outer boundary of the cell
semi permeable
Made of phospholipid layer
Difference between plant and animal cells
Plant cell: cell wall, chloroplast, large central vacuole
Animal cell: only cell membrane, many small vacuoles, centrioles (mitosis & meiosis)
Parts of the cell theory
All living things are made up of cells
Cells are the basic unit of life
All cells come from pre existing cells
