Cell

Cards (25)

  • Red blood cell: to transport oxygen around the blood
  • Root hair cell: to absorb water and minerals from the soil
  • Palisade Cell: To carry out photosynthesis and make food (glucose) for the plant
  • Sperm Cell: to travel to and fuse with an egg cell for fertilisation
  • Muscle cell: help the body move
  • Nerve cell: To carry nerve impulses around the body
  • Ciliated Epithelial cell: to move mucus with trapped dust and microorganisms away from the lungs
  • White blood cell: to fight pathogens which cause diease
  • Egg cell: to be fertilised by the sperm cell
  • Chloroplast: found only in plant cells, contain a pigment that absorbs sunlight
  • Mitochondria: usually lots in the cell, provide the cell with energy (animal and plant)
  • Cytoplasm: jelly-like substance, chemical reactions happen (plant and animal)
  • nucleus: contains genetic material and controls cell activities (animal and plant)
  • Cell wall: provides support and protection (plant)
  • Vacuole: handle and get rid of waste products ( one big one in plant cell)
  • Lysosome: digestive system of a cell (animal)
  • Cell membrane: controls the substance to enter or leave the cell (plant and animal)
  • Cytoplasm: holds the components and protects them from damage (plant and animal)
  • vesicle: storage and transport (animal and plant)
  • Chloroplast: produce energy through photosynthesis, and oxygen release process (plant)
  • cytoskeleton: helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization (animal and plant)
  • mitochondria: produce energy for the cell (animal and plant)
  • free ribosomes: synthesis protein (animal and plant)
  • Golgi apparatus:  to process, modify, and package proteins and lipids produced by the cell  (animal and plant(
  • Endoplasmic reticulum: produce protein, lipids, detox, calcium storage
