Cells require and absorb oxygen to produce heat and energy
1 of 16
Cell function for growth
Cells grow to maturity by manufacturing proteins. They may then divide or specialise
2 of 16
Cell function for Excretion
Waste products pass out through the cell membrane
3 of 16
Cell function for irritability
Cells can respond to a physical, chemical or thermal stimulus
4 of 16
Cell membrane
An outer coating which selectively transports substances into and out of the cell
5 of 16
Nucleus
The control centre of the cell, regulating its general and specialist functions
6 of 16
Ribosomes
Made of ribonucleic acid and protein, they manufacture other proteins
7 of 16
Rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum
This manufactures, stores and transports materials within and outside of the cell
8 of 16
Mitochondria
Situated in the cytoplasm these supply the cell’s energy source
9 of 16
Centrioles
Essential for cell division
10 of 16
Lysosomes
Contain enzymes which digest worn out parts of the cell for recycling and elimination of waste products
11 of 16
Golgi apparatus
Modifies and stores manufactured protein and transports it out of the cell
12 of 16
Epithelial tissue
Thin sheets of cells make up the coverings and linings of the body and it’s organs.
13 of 16
Connective tissue
Has supportive, structural role in the body, but also includes blood
14 of 16
Muscle tissue
Contraction of tissue gives movement, and also aide internal processes such as digestion and circulation
