what are the main functions of cells in the body?
egg cell and sperm cell for reproduction, red blood cell to transport oxygen,nerve cell to coordinate the sense around the body, muscle cells for movement.
1 of 10
suggest an advantage and disadvantage of anaerobic respiration
ADVANTAGE: INSTANT ENERGY WHEN NEEDED. DISADVANTAGE: limited amount of energy released.

name two cells that use energy of movements/
muscle cell and sperm cells

what must a cytologists supply to cells so that they grow and multiply well? explain your answer
oxygen ,glucose and other nutrients, i.e. amino acids. EXPLANATION: oxygen and glucose are needed for aerobic respiration, nutrients are used for cell growth and to make new cells. e.g amino acids are built into proteins

. What is the difference between plasma membrane and cell wall?
Plasma membrane and cell wall are not the same thing. Plasma membrane, also called cell membrane, is the outer membrane common to all living cells and it is made of a phospholipid bilayer, embedded proteins and some appended carbohydrates. Because c

What are chloroplasts? What are the main function of chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are organelles present in the cytoplasm of plant and algae cells. Like mitochondria, chloroplasts have two boundary membranes and many internal membranous sacs. Within the organelle there are DNA, RNA and ribosomes and also the pigment c

What are plant cell vacuoles?
Plant cell vacuoles are cell structures delimited by membranes within which there is an aqueous solution made of various substances like carbohydrates and proteins.
8 of 10
What are their functions?
The main function of the vacuoles is the osmotic balance of the intracellular space. They act as “an external space” inside the cell

What is the covering membrane of the vacuoles called?
The membrane that delimits the vacuoles is called tonoplast, named after the osmotic function of the structure.
