New cards

What is the function of a ribosome

It synthesizes proteins by reading mRNA and links amino acids into polypeptide chains

2
New cards

What are the two types of Ribosome

70S and 80S

3
New cards

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

4
New cards

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

5
New cards

What is this and the function of it

Tonoplast - regulates transport of substances, maintains turgor pressure, assists in storage and maintains pH balance

6
New cards

What is this and the function of it

Cell sap - stores nutrients and waste, maintains turgor pressure and pH balance and aids in metabolism
