Cell structure

Cards (21)

  • Nucleolus - where ribosomes are made
  • The nucleus is the control centre of the cell.
  • Ribosome - site of protein synthesis
  • Mitochondria - powerhouse of the cell, produces ATP through aerobic respiration
  • Mitochondria - powerhouse of the cell, produces ATP through respiration
  • Vacuole - stores water and waste products
  • Chloroplast - found only in plant cells, contains chlorophyll which is used to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water during photosynthesis
  • Vacuole - stores water, waste products, pigments, enzymes
  • Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis (plants only)
  • Cell membrane - controls what enters/exits the cell
  • Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis (in plant cells)
  • Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis (plants)
  • Cell wall - made up of cellulose, provides support and protection
  • Cell wall - provides support to plant cells
  • Plasma membrane - controls what enters/exits the cell
  • Plasma membrane - controls what enters or leaves the cell
  • Cell wall - made up of cellulose fibres, provides support and protection, prevents bursting when turgid
  • Cytoskeleton - gives shape to the cell and helps it move around
  • Ribosomes - sites of protein synthesis
  • Plasma membrane - controls what enters/leaves the cell
  • Vacuole - stores water (turgor pressure) and waste products
