Studied by 3 peopleNucleus
Contains genetic material
Cytoplasm
Where most chemical reactions occur
Ribosomes
Where protein synthesis occurs
Cell membrane
Controls substance into and out of cell
Cell Wall
Contains cellulose to give the cell structure
Chloroplast
Contains chlorophyll, which absorbs light for photosynthesis
Vacuole
Contains cell sap
Mitochondria
Energy is released via aerobic respiration
Prokaryotic Cells compared to eukaryotic
Smaller in size and less complex then Eukaryote cells, Contains DNA in plasmid and a singular circular strand of DNA
Sperm Cell Function
Fertilise the egg cell
Sperm Cell adaption
Flagellum to swim easily
Enzymes on the head to help break through the wall
In its tail it has mitochondria to release energy
Muscle Cell Function
Contract/relax for movement
Muscle Cell Adaption
Long and contain lots of mitochondria to release energy.
Nerve Cell Function
Sends commands to the muscle to be able to feel.
Nerve Cell adaption
Long, connections at each end to create a network of connections
Root Hair cell
To absorb water and mineral ions.
Root hair cell adaption
A large surface area to increase to rate of absorption
Cilia (Small hairs) on the root hair cell
Red Blood Cell function
To carry oxygen from the lungs to the whole body
Red Blood Cell Adaption
They have a large surface area to be able to carry an amount of oxygen to respiring cells
Palisade Cell function
To absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
Palisade Cell adaption
Packed full of chloroplasts
Chemical equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20
Glucose chemical formula
C6H12O6
Tissue
