Cards in this deck (9)
- 1ChromosomesThreadlike structures found in the nucleus. Made of DNA which contains the genetic information of the cell.
- 2CytoplasmJelly-like substance where chemical reactions take place.
- 3NucleusControl centre of the cell. Contains the cell's genetic information arranged in chromosomes.
- 4Nuclear membraneSurrounds the nucleus.
- 5MitochondriaSite of cell respiration, very abundant in cells that need lots of energy, like muscle cells.
- 6Cell membraneSelectively permeable membrane which controls what enters and leaves the cell.
- 7Cellulose cell wallStiff structure around the outside of cell that provides support.
- 8VacuoleContains cell sap. When full, pushes cell membrane against cell wall, making cell rigid and providing more support.
- 9ChloroplastContains chlorophyll, which traps light and helps the plant make food during photosynthesis.
