Function of plasmodesmata
Helps communication and transport between plant cells
1 of 35
Function of nucleus
Controls the cells activities and retains the DNA which codes for protein synthesis
2 of 35
Function of nucleolus
Produces ribosomal RNA which makes ribosomes
3 of 35
Function of nucleoplasm
Contains chromosomes made of chromatin
4 of 35
Function of nuclear pores
Allows transport of messenger RNA and nucleotides
5 of 35
Function of mitochondria
Carries out aerobic respiration and produces ATP
6 of 35
Function of rough ensoplasmic reticulum
Carries out protein synthesis and transport of proteins
7 of 35
Function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesis and transport of lipids
8 of 35
Function of ribosomes
Carries out protein synthesis
9 of 35
Functions of golgi body
1) Packages proteins ready for secretion by vesicles
2) Produce secretory enzymes
3) Secrete carbohydrates
4) Transport and store lipids
5) Form lysosomes
10 of 35
Function of lysosomes
Destroy worn out organelles
11 of 35
Function of centrioles
During cell division, centrioles organise the microtubules that make the spindle
12 of 35
Function of chloroplast
To carry out photosynthesis
13 of 35
Function of vacuole
1) Storage site of cell sap
2) Helps cell stay turgid
3) Helps with osmosis
14 of 35
Function of cellulose cell wall
1) Provides strength and support
2) Permits movement of water from cell to cell
3) Stops cell from bursting or collapsing
15 of 35
Function of flagella
To help with mobility
16 of 35
Function of cilia
Helps move things along
17 of 35
Typically what are eukaryote cells
Plant and animal cells
18 of 35
Typically what are prokaryote cells
Simple cells lacking complex organelles, eg bacteria
19 of 35
Function of plasmid
Contains anti-biotic resistant genes
20 of 35
What is prokaryotic cell wall made out of
Murren/peptidogyclan
21 of 35
Function of mesosome
Carry out respiration and produce ATP
22 of 35
Function of capusle (protein outer layer)
Helps with protection
23 of 35
What can the genetic material (nucleic acid) in a virus be
DNA or RNA, but always a single strand
24 of 35
Function of surface proteins (glycoproteins) on a virus
May contact and recognise the cell to be infected
25 of 35
What is a tissue
A group of cells that have differentiated in the same way, working together to perform a specific function
eg. muscle tissue
26 of 35
What is an organ
A group of different tissues combine together to form an organ
eg. eye that does a specific job
27 of 35
What is an organ system
Number of organs work together as systems
eg. excretory system
28 of 35
What is an organism?
Organisms are made up of a number of different systems that work together
eg. animal
29 of 35
What is cuboidal epithelium
The tissue is one cell thick and have a cube shape. Occurs in metabolic processes
30 of 35
What is ciliated epithilium
Columnar shape with surface covered in cilia, rhythmic beating of cilia moves contents in one direction only
31 of 35
How would you know if it was a striated muscle in a diagram
There would be vertical stripes
32 of 35
How would you know if it was a smooth muscle in a diagram
There would be no vertical stripes
33 of 35
Function of tendons
Attach muscle to bone
34 of 35
Function of ligaments
Attach bone to bone
