Cell notes
cells structure and functions
| structure | function |
|---|---|
| Cell Walls | *animal cells dont have one *plants:made of cellulose*Gives strength structure & rigidity to plant thru Turgor Pressure |
| Cell Membrane | *Outside covering *Determines what goes in/out of cell. *Flexible but supports cells. |
| Vacuole | *Storage unit in cells that_hold water *Large in plants, small in animal cells |
| Nucleus | *Control center of cell *Houses DNA *Controls cell growth and makes ribosome |
| Mitochondria | *"Powe House of the cell" *Produces energy (breaks down glucose) *C6H12O6+O2 --> CO2+H2O+Energy |
| Cytoplasm | *Gelatinous, semi-transparent fluid that fills the cells *Organelles are suspended in cytoplasm |
| Chloroplast | *captures radiant energy and converts it to chemical energy(C6H12O6). Has Chlorophyll - green pigment that absorbs light. |
| Eukaryote | *(No ribosomes) transports cell products |
| Lysosome | *Contains digestive enzymes to break things down in cell |
| Ribosome | * Site of Protein Synthesis |
| Golgi Body | *Packages cell products for transport (like ups) |
