Resource summary
The Cell
smallest unit of matter that can still carry out all the processes of life.
Animal cell
Cell Membrane
see diagram - phospholipids and proteins
selectively permeable
containment
recognition
Nucleus
contains DNA - deoxyribo nucleic acid
controls activity of cell
chromatin, nuclear pores, nucleolus - see diagram
nucleolus - made of RNA DNA and protein, makes ribosomes
nuclear pore - controls the movement of substances in and out of nucleus
chromatin = tangle of DNA
Mitochondria (pl)
double membrane, inner folded, contains cristae, mitochondrial DNA, matrix - see diagram
cristae- larger SA
number present = level of activity
aerobic respiration
Ribosomes
made of protien and RNA
some free in cytoplasm some attached to membranes
make proteins following instructions sent out from the DNA in the nucleus in the form of messenger RNA
Cytoplasm
Plant cell
Contains all that the animal cell contains, but also cell walls, vacuoles and chloroplasts
Cell wall
cellulose and protein
strength, protection, shape
fully permeable
adjacent cells glued together by pectin with the middle lamella
Chloroplasts
see diagram- granum, thylakoids. starch granules, ribosomes, DNA, double membrane
photosynthesis
Vacuoles
cell sap- pigments, water, food, minerals
structural support, waste, storage
