Flashcards
Basic cells and cell structure
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1NucleusControls all activities of the cell
- 2CytoplasmWhere most of the chemical reactions take place
- 3Cell membraneIs selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells
- 4MitochondriaWhere most energy is released in respiration
- 5RibosomeWhere protein synthesis occurs
- 6Cell wall (only in plant cells)Made of cellulose and strengthens the cell
- 7Chloroplasts (found only in plant cells)Absorbs light energy to make food/contains a green pigment called chlorophyll (a chemical) for photosynthesis
- 8Vacuole (found only in plant cells)A sac filled with cell sap and contains sugars, salts and water. When it is full the vacuole supports the cell making it firm.
- 9Bacterial cellconsists of cytoplasm and a
membrane surrounded by a cell wall; the
genes are not in a distinct nucleus
