  • animal and plant cells are eukaryotic and contain dna which is in the nucleus
  • animal cells contain cell membrane nucleus mitochondria ribosomes cytoplasm
  • plant cells contain cell membrane nucleus mitochondria ribosomes cytoplasm permanent vacuoles chloroplasts and cell wall
  • Cell Membrane
    controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell
  • Nucleus
    where DNA is stored.
  • Animal Cell
    A eukaryotic cell with a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes
  • Mitochondria
    where energy is released through respiration
  • Ribosomes
    site of protein synthesis
  • Cell Wall
    A rigid outer layer that provides structural support and protection.
  • Chloroplasts
    contains chlorophyll to absorb light energy for photosynthesis
  • Vacuoles
    contains cell sap
  • this is an animal cell
  • this is a plant cell
  • prokaryotic cells are smaller then eukaryotic cells
  • prokaryotic cells are single celled, have small rings of dna called plasmids and no nucleus
  • prokaryotic cells have cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, flagellum ,bacterial dna, plasmid dna
  • the formula to calculate magnification is image size/actual size=magnification
  • a light microscope uses visible light to form images
  • light microscopes allow living samples to be viewed
  • light microscopes are cheap
  • light microscopes have low magnification and low resolution
  • electron microscopes uses electrons to form images
  • electron microscopes cant have living samples
  • electron microscopes are expensive
  • electron microscopes have high magnification and high resolution
  • electron microscopes allow you to see sub cellular structures like ribosomes
  • Specialised cells
    Cells in animals and plants that differentiate to form different types of cells
  • Specialised cells
    • Sperm cell
    • Red blood cell
    • Muscle cell
    • Nerve cell
    • root hair cell
    • palisade cell
  • Sperm cellfunctions

    Fertilise an ovum (egg)
  • Sperm cell adaptions
    • Tail to swim to the ovum and fertilise it
  • Red blood cellfunctions

    Transport oxygen around the body
  • Red blood celladaptions

    • No nucleus so more room to carry oxygen
  • Muscle cell functions

    Contract and relax to allow movement
  • Muscle celladaptions
    • Contains protein fibres, which can contract to make the cells shorter
  • Nerve cell functions
    Carry electrical impulses around the body
  • Nerve cell adaptions

    • Branched endings, called dendrites
  • root hair cell
    • absorb minerals ions and water from the soil
    • long projection speeds up the absorption of water and mineral ions
  • diffusion
    spreading out particles from high concentration to low concentration
  • osmosis
    diffusion of water through partially permeable membrane
  • active transport
    the movement of particles from a dilute solution to concentrated solution
