Cells; plant and animal

QuestionAnswer
Present in animal cells not plant cells. Centrioles and sometimes lysosomes
Present in plant cells not animal cells. Chloroplasts and a Cell wall
What does a cell wall provide for the plant cell that animal cells dont need? Support
What is the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? Prokaryotes: no nucleus; generally smaller in size; only contain ribosomes, DNA, cell membrane and cell wall; usually have flagellum; cylinder shaped Eukaryotes; more complex organelles; has nucleus
Where is the DNA in a prokaryote? Througout the cytoplasm
What contains the DNA in a eukaryote? The Nucleus
What do vacuoles and vesicles do? Store materials used by the cell
What do Lysosomes do and what type of cell are they found in? They break down and recycle macromolecules in an animal cell
What is the cytoskeleton? It mantains the cell's shape and helps the cell move
What process do the centrioles take part in? Cell division; they are located near the nucleus; they replicate and divide
What do ribosomes do? Synthesize proteins
What does the ER do? Assembles proteins and lipids
What does the golgi apparatus do? Modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids for storage or for trasportation out of the cell
What do the chloroplasts do? Convert solar energy into chemical energy into glucose for the cell to use (Photosynthesis; only in plant cells because they are autotrophic)
What do midochondria do? Convert chemical energy in 'food' to usable compounds for the cell
What is the purpose of the cell wall? To give the cell shape; like bricks for a strong structure of the plant; protects the cell
What is the purpose of the cell membrane? It regulates materials entering and leaving the cell; also protects and supports the cell
What are microfilaments? They are threadlike structures made up of actin; they produce a tough flexible frame that supports the cell; they help the cell move
What are microtubules or centrosomes? Hollow structures made up of tubulins; they help maintain the cell's shape; help build cilia and flagella to move the cell;
Smooth ER vs. Rough ER Smooth: enzymes that synthesize lipids; no ribosomes Rough: synthesize proteins; contain ribosomes; proteins that are made are ones that will be released from the cell; is in cells that produce proteins that are made for exportation
Where do the proteins made on ribosomes start and what is the cycle? 1: start on ribosomes 2: go through rough ER 3: go to the golgi apparatus in vesicles 4: golgi puts the finishing touches on the proteins before they are distributed 5: secretory vesicles release the proteins from the cell or carry them into the cell
What is the nucleolus? It is a structure in the nucleus which produces ribosomes
What is the cytoplasm? Everything sourounding the organelles within the cell; holds everything together; mostly water with some proteins that control the metabolism

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
