Cells Biology Module 2

?
Plasma membrane
Found on the surface of animal cells and inside the cell walls of plant cells and prokaryotic cells
1 of 36
Mainly made of lipids and proteins
Regulates movement of substances in and out of cells
2 of 36
Has receptor molecules which allow it to respond to chemicals eg. hormones
Cell wall
3 of 36
Rigid structure that surrounds plant cells
Mainly made of cellulose
4 of 36
Supports plant cells
Nucleus
5 of 36
Large organelle surrounded by a nuclear envelope which contains many pores
Contains chromatin (which is made of DNA and proteins) and a nucleolus
6 of 36
Controls the cell's activities (by controlling transcription) and contains DNA which codes for proteins
Envelope has pores so substances (RNA) can move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
7 of 36
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes
8 of 36
Lysosome
Round organelle surrounded with a membrane with no clear internal structure
9 of 36
Contains digestive enzyme which are kept seperate by a membrane
Their role is to digest invading cells or to break down worn cell components
10 of 36
Ribosome
Very small organelle that floats free in the cytoplasm or is attached to RER
11 of 36
Makes proteins
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
12 of 36
A system of membrane enclosing a fluid-filled space
The surface is covered in ribosomes
13 of 36
Folds and processes proteins
Smoth endoplasmic reticulum
14 of 36
No ribosomes on the surface
Synthesises and processes lipids
15 of 36
Vesicle
Small fluid-filled sac in the cytoplasm surrounded by a membrane
16 of 36
Transports substances in and out the cell
Formed by the golgi apparatus or the endoplasmic reticulum or at the cell surface
17 of 36
Golgi apparatus
Group of fluid-filled membrane bound, flattened sacs
18 of 36
Vesicles are often seen at the egdes of the sacks
Processes and packages new lipids and proteins
19 of 36
Makes lysosomes
Mitochondrion
20 of 36
Usually oval shaped
Surrounded by a double membrane
21 of 36
Inner membrane folds to make the cristae.
Inside is the matrix which contains enzymes involved in repsiration
22 of 36
Site of aerobic respiration where ATP is produced
Chloroplast
23 of 36
Small, flattened structure found in plant cells
Surrounded by a double membrane
24 of 36
Contains thylakoid membranes which are stacked up to form grana
These are linked together by lamellae
25 of 36
These are thin, flat pieces of thylakoid membrane
The site of photosynthesis
26 of 36
Some parts of photosynthesis happen in the and the
Grana
27 of 36
Stoma
This is a thick fluid found in chloroplasts
28 of 36
Centriole
Small, hollow cylinders made of microtubules
29 of 36
This is found in animal cells but only some plant cells
Involved in the seperation of chromosomes
30 of 36
Cillia
Small, hair-like strctures found on the surface membrane of some animal cells
31 of 36
In cross-section, they have an outer membrane and a ring of nine pairs of protien microtubules inside with two in the middle
9 + 2 formation
32 of 36
These allow cillia to move and move substances along the cell surface
Flagellum
33 of 36
In eukaryotic cells and are longer than cillia
They stick out from the cell surface and are surrounded by the plasma membrane
34 of 36
Two microtubules in the centre and nine round the outside
9 + 2 formation
35 of 36
Moved by microtubules contracting
Used to prope cells forward like outboard motors
