  • aerobic reparation = mitochondria.
  • cell membrane = inside.
  • cell wall = outside.
  • Mitochondria is responsible for aerobic respiration
  • The slime coat is found on the outside of a bacterium's cell wall and it protects the bacterium
  • Cell wall is one feature that is present in all types of plant cells but is never found in animal cells
  • Mitochondria is found in both plant and animal cells
  • What is part E made of
    A) Cellulose
  • Bacterial cell is smaller than yeast cells and plant cells
  • Water currents move plankton from place to place
  • DNA plasmids are found in the cytoplasm
  • What is structure 1
    A) Nucleus
  • An amoeba has a contractile vacuole in its cytoplasm. This structure collects and helps to get rid of excess water from the amoeba's body
  • Cell surface membrane = keeps cell together and controls what goes into and out of the cell
  • Nucleus = controls the cell
  • Cytoplasm = where activities happen, including respiration (which occurs in mitochondria)
  • Chloroplast = contains chlorophyll to trap sunlight for photosynthesis
  • Cell wall = made of cellulose and provides support
  • Vacuole = storage space
  • Some cells are specialised and have special functions
  • Muscle cells
    • Shape to move things
  • Root hair cells
    • Take in water
  • Fat cells
    • Store fat
  • Xylem cells
    • Carry water
  • Tissue
    A group of cells that are the same, all doing the same job
  • Organ
    A group of different tissues working together to do an important job
  • Heart
    • Pumps blood
  • Liver
    • Makes and stores some substances, and destroys other substances
  • Diaphragm
    • Helps breathing
  • Stomach
    • Breaks up food
  • Kidneys
    • Clean the blood and produce urine to excrete wastes
  • Leaf
    • Traps sunlight to make food for the plant
  • Stem
    • Carries substances around the plant and supports the leaves and flowers
  • Root
    • Holds the plant in place and takes water and small amounts of other substances from the soil
  • Bladder
    • Stores urine
  • Rectum
    • Stores faeces (waste materials excreted by the liver and unwanted food)
  • Large intestine
    • Removes water from unwanted food
  • Small intestine
    • Breaks up food and absorbs it, to provide nutrition for the body
  • Organ systems
    Organs often work together in organ systems
  • Organ systems
    • Breathing system
    • Circulatory system
    • Digestive system
    • Nervous system
    • Urinary system
    • Locomotor system
    • Water transport system (plants)
