  • What are the features of lysosomes
    they have acidic fluid inside
    they have the ability to destroy damaged organelles
    they have Proteases which changes large molecules to smaller ones
  • what does the golgi apparatus do
    package proteins in vesicles
    modify proteins (add sugars )
  • what are the features of the nucleus
    They have pores which controls RNA
    they have an envelope which separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
    has chromatin which then folds into chromosomes
  • what does the mitochondria do
    it is the site of aerobic respiration
    where ATP is made
  • what are the mitchondria's feature
    they have a folded membrane called "Cristae"
  • what is the plasma membrane
    a organelle that allows things to enter and leave the cell
  • what are centrioles
    organelles found in animals only
    involved in cell division
  • what is a cell wall
    its something that is found in plant cells
  • what is peptidoglycan
    A large polymer
  • How does the ribosome make proteins
    read triplet codons
    string amino acids together
  • what is the difference between cillia and flagella
    cillia is short an there are many
    flagella is long but few
  • what are eukaryotic cells
    cells that have a nucleus and are membrane bound
  • what are prokaryotes
    cells that have no nucleus and aren't membrane bound
  • example of prokaryote
    bacteria
  • size of prokaryote
    0.5 - 5
  • what is the nervous system
    A system that controls and coordinates our movement
  • How does the nervous interact with their surroundings
    through receptors and effectors
  • what is an example of a receptor and a effector
    muscles
  • what does the nervous system also control
    autonomous movement
  • what iis autonomous movement
    movement without any conscious control
  • what is an example of autonomous movement?
    food being digested
    regulation of breathing rate
    our heart rate
  • what is the function of the brain in the nervous system
    it processes things like hearing,taste and smell
    initiates a response
  • what does the spinal cord do
    it helps with reflex reactions
    connects the brain , sensory and motor neurones together
