Module B4: The Processes of Life
- Cell Structure and Function
- Plant Cells and animal cells
- Similarities
- Nucleus; contains
DNA (instructions
for making proteins)
- Cytoplasm; gel-like
substance where proteins
(e.g. enzymes) are made
- Anaerobic respiration happens here
- Cell membrane: holds cell together, controls
what goes in and out, gases and water pass
through freely, barrier to other chemicals
- Mitochondria: where the enzymes
needed for aerobic respiration
are, where reactions take place.
- Differences
- Plant cells have a
cell wall, supports the
cell, strengthens it.
- Plant cells have a vacuole in the
centre, weak solution of sugar and salts
- Plant cells, have chloroplasts,
where photosynthesis takes
place, contain chlorophylland
enzymes for photosynthesis
- Yeast are single
celled microorganisms
- used to make bread and wine
- they have: cytoplasm, a cell
membrane, a nucleus,
mitochondria and a cell wall.
- Bacteria have
simple cell structures
- no nucleus, circular DNA in cytoplasm
- no mitochondria but can
respire anaerobically
- has a cell membrane, a cell wall,
cytoplasm and a circular DNA molecule
- Enzymes
