Term
Nucleus
Definition
controls cell activity
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
chemical reactions take place
Term
cell membrane
Definition
controls movement of materials in and out the cell
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Where energy is released from during aerobic respiration
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Where protein synthesis takes place
Term
Cell wall
Definition
made from cellulose for support
Term
chloroplasts
Definition
contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis; the chloroplasts absorb light energy to make food
Term
A permanent vacuole
Definition
contains sap
Term
Algae
Definition
simple aquatic organisms which have features similar to plants
Term
characteristics of a bacteria cell
Definition
- Very small (microscopic)
- Cell membrane which surrounds cytoplasm
- Don't have a nucleus, just genetic material in cytoplasm
- when cloning form a colony
- colonies can be seen by the naked eye
- Tail called flagella
Term
Characteristics of a yeast cell
Definition
- single celled organism
- nucleus, cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by cell wall
Term
Specialised cells
Definition
Term
Has a lot of mitochondria?
Definition
Needs a lot of energy e.g. muscle cell
Term
Has a lot of ribosomes?
Definition
Makes a lot of protein e.g. gland cells (produces enzymes)
Term
Sperm with tail
Definition
Needs to be able to move e.g. sperm cell
Term
Can detect stimuli
Definition
receptor cells e.g. cone cell in eye is sensitive to light
Term
Neurons
Definition
Specialised to carry impulses to recpetors
Term
Diffusion
Definition
The spreading out of particles of a gas or any substance in a solution.
Term
Net movement
Definition
Dependent on the concentration of the particles on each side of the membrane
Term
Concentration gradient
Definition
The difference in concentration of the particles
