- Biology Cells
- General Cells
- Nucleus
- genetic material / controlling cell
- Cytoplasm
- where the majority of chemical processes are controlled by enzymes
- Cell Membrane
- Controls the substances that move in and out of the cel
- Mitochondria
- the majority of energy is released here through respiration
- Ribosomes
- Where protein synthesis is prdouced
- Nucleus
- Plant Cells
- cell wall
- it strengthens the cell
- Chloroplasts
- chlorophyll which absorbs light energy used in photosynthesis
- permanent vacoule
- filled with sap to keep the cell turgid
- cell wall
- Specialsized Cells
- A specialised cell is where the structure of the cell is adapted to the function it must carry out
- leaf
- This cell is packed full of chloroplasts so it can absorb plenty of light energy for photosynthesis. The cell has a regular shape and is closely packed together with other leaf cells to absorb light energy efficiently.
- sperm
- A sperm cell's function is to fertilize an egg cell (female gamete).
- red blood cell
- This cell is adapted to contain haemoglobin to carry oxygen to the cells
- roots
- The function of a root hair cell is to absorb water and mineral ions from the soil
- General Cells
- This cell is packed full of chloroplasts so it can absorb plenty of light energy for photosynthesis. The cell has a regular shape and is closely packed together with other leaf cells to absorb light energy efficiently.
