animal and plant cells

Cards (13)

are animals eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
eukaryotes
what is the function of the nucleus?
to enclose the genetic material
what is the cytoplasm?
a watery solution where chemical reactions take place (e.g the first stage of respiration)
what does the cell membrane do?
controls the molecules that can enter and leave the cell
what is the mitochondria
where aerobic respiration takes place
what are ribosomes?
the sites of protein synthesis
what do animals cells include?
cell membrane
cytoplasm
mitochondria
ribosomes
nucleus
what are plant cells?
plant cells are specialised for photosynthesis and are made of chloroplasts and other organelles
plant cells have a regular shape
what do plant cells contain
cell membrane
cytoplasm
nucleus
mitochondria
ribosomes
chloroplasts
permanent vacuole
cell wall
what are chloroplasts?
they contain chlorophyll and are the sites of photosynthesis
what is a cell wall?
is made from cellulose (this strengthens the cell)
what is a (permanent) vacuole?
the vacuole is filled with a fluid called sap
the vacuole also helps give the plant cell its shape
