National 5 Biology- Cell Structure Mind Map

National 5 Biology- Cell Structure Mind Map

1. Cells are the building blocks of life

   • These are what larger structures such as tissues & organs are made from.
     • All living things are made from cells

2. Plant Cells

   • Contains: Nucleus, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Cell wall, Chloroplasts, Vacuole, Mitochondria, Ribosomes

3. Animal Cells

   • Contains: Nucleus, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Mitchondria, Ribosomes
   • Doesn't Contain: Cell wall, Chloroplasts

4. Bacterial Cells

   • Contains: Cytoplasm, Cell wall, Ribosomes
   • Doesn't Contain: Nucleus, Cell membrane, Chloroplasts, Mitchondria
   • Bacteria are unicellular organisms
   • They feed on substances in their surroundings & reproduce by dividing in two
   • Bacteria do not have a nucleus but they do have a chromosomes & plasmid which contain the genetic information

5. Yeast cells

   • Contains: Nucleus, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Cell wall, Vacuole, Mitochondria, Ribosomes
   • Doesn't Contain: Chloroplasts
   • Yeast is a single celled unicellular
   • It does not contain chlorophyll & cannot make its own food by photosynthesis
   • It reproduces by budding

6. Mitochondria

   • Is a sausage shaped structure
   • It is folded a lot
   • It carries out aerobic respiration
   • It is found in: Animals, Plants, Fungi
   • It is where aerobic respiration takes place

7. Nucleus

   • Controls cell activities & passes on info to the next generation

8. Cell Membrane

   • Controls what enters & leaves the cell

9. Cytoplasm

   • Site of all biochemical reactions

10. Cell Wall

    • Made of cellulose & supports the structure of the cell

11. Chloroplasts

    • Contains chlorophyll which traps light energy to be used in photosynthesis

12. Vacuole

    • Stores water & solutes as a solution called "cell sap"

13. Ribosomes

    • It is the site of protein synthesis
    • It is located in the cytoplasm of a cell
    • It is found in all cell types

14. Plant cells, Animal cells, Yeast cells & Bacterial cells are all made of smaller parts called organelles. Each of these has its own function within the cell.

15. What goes between the slide & the microscope?

    • A Coverslip

16. Where do chemical reactions take place?

    • The Cytoplasm

17. What do mitochondria release energy from?

    • Glucose

18. What cell carries O'2 & why are they donut shaped?

    • Blood cells

19. Name a cell & describe a structure which allows it to function?

    • Nerve cells & nerves

20. Some organelles are too small to be seen with the light microscope. Two of these include mitochondria & ribosomes
