Topic Test T1 Wk 6 (cells) Flashcards
Cell Membrane
Allows salutes to move between the cell and the external environment
Nucleus
Storage centre of cells DNA and manages cell functions
Cytoplasm
Surrounds the organelles contains nutrients
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Moves proteins within the cell, covered in ribosomes
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Moves lipids around the cell, not covered in ribosomes
Golgi Apparatus
Received proteins from rER, and distributes them to other organelles around the cell
Mitochondria
Converts food into ATP (energy)
Lysosomes
Breaks down food particles, or worn out cells organelles
Vacuole
Temporary storage of water, oils and nutrients
Types of tissues
Epithelial
Connective
Muscular
Nervous
Epithelial
- Forms the outer parts of skin
- lines hollow organs and ducts
- eg small intestine lining
- eg cuboidal cells
Connective
- provides support for the body
- helps to hold all body parts together
- cells are not close together
- separated by matrix
Muscular
- responds to stimuli, contracting or lengthening
- 3 types- skeletal, cardiac and involuntary
Nervous
- made of nerve cells (neurons)
- long projections
- send messages around body
- found in brain/spinal cord
- e.g neuron types - unipolar, bipolar, multipolar
Cell Respiration Equation (word)
Glucose + Oxygen = Water + Carbon Dioxide
