Chemistry 2

?
Nucleus
Controls what the cell does. Contains instructions to make new cells.
1 of 30
Cell membrane
Gives the cell shape and controls what goes in an out of the cell
2 of 30
Cytoplasm
Chemical reactions go on inside which keep the cell alive.
3 of 30
Cell wall
Covers the cell wall. Made of cellulose which strengthens the cell.
4 of 30
Chloroplasts
Contains chlorophyll to trap light energy.
5 of 30
Vacuole
Filled with a liquid called cell sap (contains sugar and cell waste)
6 of 30
Plants
Tough cellulose walls. Chloroplasts. Large vacuole. Box like shape. Nucleus to the side of the cell.
7 of 30
Animal
Don't have cellulose walls. Don't have chloroplasts. Sometimes have a vacuole but no sap. Shape varies. Nucleus in the middle of the cell.
8 of 30
Specialised cells
Red blood. Nerve. Muscle. Sperm. Palisade. Xylem. Root.
9 of 30
Red blood cell
No nucleus. Increased surface area to take in more oxygen.
10 of 30
Nerve cell
Very long to carry impulses.
11 of 30
Muscle cell
Long and thin which can contract.
12 of 30
Sperm cell
Tail for swimming. Little cytoplasm.
13 of 30
Palisade cell
Found in leaves. Chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
14 of 30
Xylem cell
Hollow to transport water and nutrients.
15 of 30
Root hair cell
Increased surface area. More uptake of water and nutrients.
16 of 30
Other cells
Bacteria. Yeast. Algae. Virus'.
17 of 30
Bacterium
Cell wall but not made of cellulose. Small vacuole. No nucleus but nuclear movement and loops of DNA. Plasmoids (additional DNA). Ribosomes.
18 of 30
Yeast
Produced by budding. Larger than bacteria. Nucleus. Cell membrane. Cell wall.
19 of 30
Algae
Photosynthetic tissue. Cell wall. Chloroplasts. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane.
20 of 30
Virus'
Parasites. Smallest of all cells. Made of a protein capsule and genetic material.
21 of 30
Stem cells
Stem cells are that of which can replace any type of cell. They are not differentiated yet (specialised)
22 of 30
Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts which are made by a chain of amino acids
23 of 30
Gene
A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a particular protein.
24 of 30
Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a lower concentration until they are spread out evenly.
25 of 30
Osmosis
Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a dilute solution into a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane
26 of 30
Turgidity
When a plant cell is put into water, water will enter it using osmosis.
27 of 30
Plasmolysis
When a cell is put into a strong sugar solution, water will leave the cell by Osmosis.
28 of 30
Active transport
Uptake of particles by cells against a concentration gradient.
29 of 30
The law of limiting factors
The factor in the shortest supply that limits the rate of photosynthesis.
