animals and plants (and bacteria)

Cards (9)

  • nucleus:
    • both plant and animal cells have this
    • contains dna coding for a particular protein needed to build new cells
    • enclosed in a nuclear membrane
  • cytoplasm:
    • in bacteria plant and animal cells
    • where chemical reactions occur
    • contains enzymes
  • cell membrane:
    • in bacteria plant and animal cells
    • controls what leaves and enters the cell
  • mitochondria:
    • in both plant and animal cells
    • where aerobic respiration occurs
    • provides energy for the cell
  • ribosomes:
    • in both plant and animal cells
    • where protein synthesis occurs
    • found on a structure called the rough endoplasmic reticulum
  • chloroplast:
    • in a plant cell
    • where photosynthesis takes place
    • provides glucose
    • contains chlorophyll
  • permanent vacuole:
    • in a plant cell (animals have small vacuoles)
    • contains cell sap
    • improves cell's rigidity
  • cell wall:
    • in bacteria and plant cells
    • made from cellulose (plant)
    • provides strength
  • plasmids:
    • in bacterial cells
    • small rings of dna
