What is the function of a ribosome
It synthesizes proteins by reading mRNA and links amino acids into polypeptide chains
What are the two types of Ribosome
70S and 80S
What is the difference between the 2 ribosomes (3 bullet points)
70S are found in prokaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts whereas 80S are found in eukaryotic cells
80S is bigger than 70S
80S has subunits of 60S and 40S whereas 70S has subunits of 50S and 30S
What is the function of a vacuole
It stores nutrients and waste, aids in growth by expanding, helps with waste disposal, provides structural support and maintains pH and ion balance
What is this and the function of it
Tonoplast - regulates transport of substances, maintains turgor pressure, assists in storage and maintains pH balance
What is this and the function of it
Cell sap - stores nutrients and waste, maintains turgor pressure and pH balance and aids in metabolism
