Flashcards
Functions of cell structures and difference in cells
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1Cell Membrane- state some of its functions-Form a barrier between the cell and its surroundings
-Keeps content of cell inside
-Allows simple substances to enter and leave the cells
-Controls movement of other substances into and out of cell
-Often described as partially permeable - 2Nucleus-state some of its functions-Controls all activities in the cell
-Controls how cells develop - 3Cytoplasm-state some of its functions-Place where many chemical reactions take place, e.g. respiration
- 4Chloroplast-state some of its functions-Photosynthesis
-Stores starch - 5Cell wall-state some of its functions-Only present in plant cells
-Stop cells from bursting when filled with water
-Gives shape to cells
-Allows water and dissolved substances to pass through freely (fully permeable) - 6Sap vacuole-state some of its functions-Full of water to maintain shape and 'firmness' of cell
-Stores salt and sugars - 7Shape of animal cell and plant cellPlant: Permanent shape determined by the cell wall
Animal- shapes vary as there is no cell wall - 8—
