Resource summary
Cells
Types
Prokaryotic
no membrane-bound organelles
Simpler cell structure
Eg. Bacteria
Eukaryotic
contain membrane-bound organelles
Complex cell structure
Eg. Animal & Plant
Parts
Nucleus
Annotations:
Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Membrane PROTOPLASM
controls vital cell activities
Eg.
Cell division
Cell growth
Cell repair
Porous nuclear membrane
Chromatin
DNA
Condense (cell division) = Chromosome
Nucleolus
plays a part in making proteins
Nucleoplasm
Cytoplasm
70% water content
contain organelles
Mitochondria
2 membrane
Break down food during respiration
Release ENERGY
Endoplasmic reticulum
Rough
produce & transport proteins (ribosomes) to Golgi apparatus
have ribosomes attached
Smooth
Synthesise & transport
lipids & steroid hormones
Detoxification
Converts harmful substances to harmless
No ribosomes attached
Ribosomes
Attached to ribosomes
Exported via vesicles outside cell
Free
For intercellular usage
Golgi apparatus
Modifies substances (synthesised by the ER)
Package substances into vesicles for secretion (outside cell)
Vesciles
Transport substances btw organelles
Vacuole
Storage of substances in cell
Animal
Small
Many
Store water & food
Usually temporary
Plant
One
Large
Central
Store cell sap
Sugars
Mineral salts
Amino acids
Tonoplast
Membrane surrounding vacuole
ONLY IN PLANTS
Chloroplast
Chlorophyll
Photosynthesis
Cell Wall
Fully permeable
Hard & Rigid
Protect cell frm phyical damage
Provides support
Cellulose
Centioles
Membrane
controls substances moving in and out of cell
Partially permeable
Specialised
Differentiation
Process
Develop special structures
Specific functions
Red blood cell
Contains haemoglobin
Binds reversibly w oxygen
Transport oxygen
Lacks nucleus
Free up more space
carry ↑ haemoglobin
Biconcave shape
↑ S.A to V ratio
more oxygen can diffuse into cell
↑ rate of oxygen entering RBC
Elastic
Bell-shape
Squeeze through vessels smaller than itself
Xylem vessls
No cross-walls / partition walls
No obstrction
Water & mineral salts can move through vessels easily
No protoplasm
Lignin deposits (vessel walls)
Strengthen vessels
prevent it frm collapsing
Bundled tgt
Root Hair Cell
Narrow, elongated projection
↑ S.A to V ratio
↑ rate of diffusion /osmosis
