Cells And Diffusion
Part A
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Controls all activitys of the cell. in both plants and animals |
| Cell membrane | Allows/rejects molecules in/out of the cell. Molecules diffuse in/out of the cell. Made up of 2 phosphorus layers interconnected. In both plants and animals |
| Cell Wall | Supports/protects the cell. Doesnt allow anything in/out. In both plants and animals |
| Chromosomes | Protiens that contain DNA which has coded info for making molecules. In both plants and animals |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Produces/stores protiens. In both plants and animals |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Produces/stores fats and oils. In both plants and animals |
| Golgi bodies | Modifies/packages protiens frm rough E.R with enzymes. In both plants and animals |
| Ribosomes | Helps rough E.R make protiens. Attached to rough E.R. Helps with cell division. In both plants and animals |
| Centrioles | Helps with Mitosis. Spindle fibres come from here. Only in animal cells. |
| MItochondria | Converts sugar into energy for the cell. In both plants and animals |
| Cytoplasm | Fluid in the cell that allows organelles to move. All organelles are suspended in this fluid. In both plants and animals |
| Vacuole | Stores water, minerals and, vitamins. Significantally bigger in plants but still present in animals. |
| Lysosomes | Breaks down food, invading bacteria and, damaged organelles. Only in animal cells. |
| Chloroplasts | Uses sunlight to make its own food VIA photosynthesis. CO2 +H20 +LIGHT---> SUGAR +02 |
| Osmosis | Movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration. (like diffusion with water) |
| Diffusion | Movement of molecules from high to low concentration. |
| Permeable | Allows any molecule to diffuse |
| Semi-Permeable | Allows some molecules to diffuse |
| Non-Permeable | Allows nothing to diffuse |
