Cell structure

Cards (34)

  • The human body is made up of trillions of cells, which are the basic building blocks of life.
  • Cells can be classified into different types based on their structure and function.
  • Bacteria are prokaryotes with a single circular chromosome containing all the genes needed to survive.
  • Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or any other membranous structures within them.
  • Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms with simple structures and no true nuclei.
  • Eukaryotic cells are complex and include all animal and plant cells.
  • Eukaryotes are organisms made up of eukaryotic cells
  • prokaryote is a prokaryotic cell. they are single-celled organism
  • Ribosome - The site of protein synthesis
  • animal Cells contain
    • Cell membrane
    • Nucleus
    • Ribosomes
    • Cytoplasm
    • Mitochondria
  • plant cells contain
    Cell wall
    Chloroplasts
    valcuole
  • Cell membrane - controls what enters and exists the cell
  • nucleus - controls the cells activity’s
  • ribosomes - help with protein synthesis
  • cytoplasm - is where chemical reactions occur
  • Mitochondria - site of aerobic respiration
  • cell wall - keeps the cell structure
  • vacuole - contains cell sap, suports the cell
  • chloroplasts - absorb light energy for photosynthesis
  • Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells
  • prokaryotic cells have no nucleus
  • prokaryotic cells DNA is found in the cytoplasm
  • bacteria is a prokaryotic cell
  • specialised cells are cells that have been made for a specific purpose
  • some examples of plant specialised cells are root hair cells
  • Xylem transports water
  • phloem transports sugars and minerals
  • sperm, nerve and muscle cells are all animal specialised cells
  • Cells become specialised through differentiation
  • differentiation - genes are turned off in each cell to change shape or structure in order to carry out particular functions
  • Undifferentiated cells are known as stem cells
  • Plant to differentiate through their life
  • Animal cells differentiate at an early stage once they are specialised very few can change
  • In order to replace damagedor dead cells mitosis is used
