| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Nucleus controls all activities of the cell, growth and reproduction, Is is found in both plants and animals |
| Cell Membrane | The Cell Membrane allows certain molecules to go in or out of the cell, molecules diffuse in or out of a cell and it is made up of 2 phosphorus layers interconnected. It is located in both plant and animal cells. |
| Cell Wall | Supports and protects the cell; does not allow molecules in or out. It is only located in both plants and animals. |
| Chromosomes | Chromosomes are proteins that contain DNA which has coded information for making molecules. It is located in both plants and animals. |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | This produces and stores proteins . It is located in both plant and animal cells. |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Produces and stores fats and proteins. Located in both plant and animal cells. |
| Golgi Bodies | Modifies and packages proteins from rough ER with enzymes. Located in both plant and animal cells. |
| Ribosomes | Helps rough ER make proteins. It is attached to rough ER. Located in both plant and animal cells. |
| Centrioles | Helps with cell division(mitosis). Spindle fibres come from here. Only located in animal cells. |
| MItochondria | Converts sugar into energy for the cell. Located in both plant and animal cells. |
| Cytoplasm | Fluid in the cell; Allows organelles to move around. Located in both plants and animal cells. |
| Vacuole | Stores water, minerals and vitamins. It is much bigger in plants cells. However, it is located in both plant and animal cells. |
| Lysosomes | Breaks down food, invading bacteria and old damaged organelles. Located in both plant and animal cells. |
| Choloroplats | Uses sunlight to make its own food. Located in only plants. CO2 + H2O + Light --> Sugar + O2 Photosynthesis. |
| Diffusion | Movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to low concentration |
| Osmosis | Movement from water molecules from high concentration of water to low concentration of water. |
| Permeable | Allows any molecule to diffuse across membrane |
| Semi-Permeable | Allows certain molecules to diffuse across membrane. Ex. Cell Membrane and Skin. |
| Non-Permeable | Allows no molecules to diffuse across membrane. |
