Types of cells Flashcards
Animal Cells
Animal cells have centrioles paired structures involved in cell division, and plants do not.
Plant Cells
Plant cells contain walls and chloroplasts ( with chlorophyll)… animal cells do no.
Animal Cells ( shape)
Irregular
Plant Cells ( shape)
Rectangular in shape
Organelles
1. Cell Membrane
Protective barrier around cell that allows different substances to move through it
Describe the cell membrane?
Made of a double layer of lipids
What is a cell
Basic unit of life
What Are Lipids?
Fat-like molecule that does not dissolve in water
- Cytoplasm
Jelly-like substance that fills the cell + surrounds the organelles
- Nucleus
The control centre of the cell ( controls growth, reproduction)
surrounded by nuclear envelope
Contains nucleolus ( produces ribosomes)
Contains the cells DNA
What is DNA?
DNA is ( Deoxyribonucleic acid) which codes for the making of proteins and other molecules
- Vacuole
Store nutrients, wastes, and other substances used by the cell.
In plant cells, the central vacuole stores water for the cell
Vesicles
Transport substances throughout the cell
- Mitochondria
Supplies energy to the cell
How does Mitochondria supply energy to the cell
It converts chemical energy in sugar into energy the cell can use
