Function of Eukaryotic Cells and Organelles

?
What are eukaryotes?
organisms made up of eukaryotic cells
1 of 17
What's the difference between an animal and a plant cell?
Plant cells have a cell wall, a vacuole, cholorplast and plasmodesmata
2 of 17
What's the function of the plasma cell surface membrane?
Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It has receptor molecules on it which allow it to respond to chemicals like hormones
3 of 17
Whats the purpose of the cell wall?
It supports plant cells
4 of 17
What's the purpose of the nucleus?
To control the cells activities, the pores allow substances to move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
5 of 17
What is the function of the nucleolus in the nucleus?
It makes ribosomes
6 of 17
Function of the lysosome's?
Digest invading cells or to break down worn out components of the cell
7 of 17
Function of the ribosome?
The site of protein synthasis
8 of 17
What's the function of rough endoplasmic reticulum?
To fold and process proteins that have been made at the ribosomes
9 of 17
What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Synthesises and processes lipids
10 of 17
What's the function of the viesicle?
To transport substances in and out of the cell via the plasma membrane
11 of 17
Golgi apparatus' function?
Processes and packages new lipids and proteins and makes lysosomes
12 of 17
Mitochondria's function?
The site of aerobic respiration where ATP is produced
13 of 17
Chloroplast's function?
The site of photosynthesis
14 of 17
Centriol's function?
Involved in the separation of chromosomes during cell division
15 of 17
Cilia
The microtubules allow the cilia to move up substances along the cell surface
16 of 17
Flagellum
The microtubules contract to make the flagellum move and propel cells forward
