Frage Antworten
Types of cells There are 2 types of cells: 1. Eukaryotes 2. Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes Prokaryotic cells are: 1. small, simple cells. 2. have cytoplasm, a cell membrane and a cell wall. 3. have a genetic material, DNA, called plasmids. 4. they don't contain a nucleus.
Eukaryotes Eukaryotic cells are: 1. complex cells 2. have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material enclosed in the nucleus. 3. are found in animals, plants, fungi (e.g. toadstools, yeast and moulds) and protists (e.g. amoeba) 4. contain membrane-bound structures called organelles, where specific functions are carried out.
Parts of a Plant Cell 1. Nucleus 2. Cytoplasm 3. Cell Membrane 4. Mitochondria 5. Ribosomes 6. Cell Walls 7. Permanent Vacuole 8. Chloroplasts
Parts of an Animal Cell 1. Nucleus 2. Cytoplasm 3. Cell Membrane 4. Mitochondria 5. Ribosomes
Parts of a Bacteria Cell 1. Cytoplasm 2. Cell Membrane 3. Cell Wall 4. Plasmids 5. DNA
Parts of a Sperm Cell 1. Acrosome 2. Mitochondria 3. Haploid Nucleus 4. End Piece
Function of the Nucleus It contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell.
Function of the Cytoplasm It is a gel-like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen. It contains enzymes that control chemical reactions.
Functions of the Cell Membrane It holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out .
Functions of the Mitochondria These are where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration takes place. Respiration transfers energy that the cell needs to work.
Functions of the Ribosomes These are where proteins are made in the cells.
Functions of a Cell Wall It is made of cellulose. It supports the cell and strengthens it.
Functions of the Permanent Vacuole This contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts.
Functions of the Chloroplasts These are where photosynthesis occurs, which makes food for the plant. They contain a green substance called chlorophyll, which absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.
Functions of plasmids This is a small ring of DNA.
Different Specialised Animal Cells - Sperm Cells - Nerve Cells - Muscle Cells
Different Specialised Plant Cells - Root Hair Cells - Xylem - Phloem
Sperm Cells (1) They are Adapted for swimming in the female reproductive system - mitochondria in the neck release energy for swimming.
Sperm Cells (2) They are also adapted for carrying out fertilisation with an egg cell - the acrosome contains enzymes for digestion of the ovum's outer protective cells at fertilisation.
Nerve Cells They have long, slender extensions called axons that carry nerve impulses.
Muscle Cells They are able to contract (shorten) to bring about the movement of limbs.
Root Hair Cells They have tiny, hair-like extensions. These are to increase the surface area of roots to help with the absorption of water and minerals.
Xylem They are long, thin, hollow cells. Their shape helps with the transport of water through the stem, roots and leaves.
Phloem They are long, thin cells with pores in the end walls. Their structure helps the cell sap move from one phloem cell to the next.
Cell Specialisation/ Differentiation Cell specialization, also known as cell differentiation, is the process by which generic cells change into specific cells meant to do certain tasks within the body.
Haploid Nucleus Nucleus with a half chromosome set.
