cells
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What does the nucleus contain | This has a nuclear envelope Nuclear pores nucleoplasm chromosomes Nucleolus this is the site of rRNA production and makes ribosomes |
| What is the function of the nucleus | Site of DNA replication and transcription (making mRNA) Contains the genetic code for each cell |
| qhat does the endoplasmic reticulum structure | Rough and smooth ER both have folded membranes called cisternae Rough have ribosomes on the cisternae |
| What is the function of the ER | RER protein synthesis SER synthesis and store lipids and carbohydrates |
| What is the structure of the Golgi apparatus and Vesicles | Add carbohydrates to proteins to form glycoproteins Produce secretory enzymes Secrete carbohydrates Transport modify and store lipids Form lysosomes |
| What is the structure of lysosomes | These are bags of digestive enzymes can contain 50 different enzymes |
| What is the function of lysosomes | These hydrolyse pathogens in phagosomes Completley break down dead cells Exocytosis- release enzymes to outside of cell to destroy material Digest worn out organelles for reuse of material |
| Structure of Mitochondria | Has a double membrane Inner membrane called cristae Fluid centre called the mitchondrial matrix Loop of mitochondrial DNA 70s ribosomes |
| What is the function of mitochondria | Site of arepbic respiratoin Site of ATP production DNA to code for enzymes needed in respiration |
| Srtucture of ribosomes | Small made up of 2 units of protien and rRNA 80s large ribosomes found it eukarytoic cells 70s ribosomes smaller ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells mitochondria and chloroplasrs |
| What is the function of ribosomes | This is the site of protein synthesis |
| Structure of Vacuole | Fluid surrounded by single membrane called tonoplast |
| What is the function of the vacuole | These make cells turgid and therefore provide support Tempoary store of sugars and amino acids The pigments may colour petals to attract pollinators |
| The structutre of cell wall | In plants made of microfibrills of the cellulose polymer Fungi made of chitin a nitrogen containing compound |
| What is the function of cell wall | Provide structural strength to the cell wall |
| What is structure of cholroplast | Surrounded by a double membrane Contains thylkoids Fluid filled stroma contains the enzynes for photosyntheiss found in plants |
| tThe function of choloroplast | Site of photosyntheis |
| Structure of plasma membrane | Found in all cells Phospholipids bilayer molecules embeded within and attached on the outside |
| What is function of plasma membrane | Controlds the entrance and exit of molecules |
