Animal Cell
Subtopic 1
Plant Cell
features
common
Cytplasm
gel like
chemcial reactions happen
contains enzymes
nucleus
contains genetic material
controls activities of cell
cell membrane
holds cell together
controls in and out
Ribosomes
proteins made here
mitochondria
reactions for respiration
release energy to the cell
plant specific
rigid cell wall
cellulose
supports cell
strengthens cell
chloroplast
photosynthesis
chlorophyll (green)
permanent vacuole
contains sap
sugar/salt solution
specialist cells
tissue
goup of cells
organ
heart to pump blood
group of tissues
organ system
digestive system
group of organs
organism
group of organ systems
plant palisade cell
palisade tissue / palisade layer
leaf (organ)
plant (organism)
adapted for photosnthesis
chloroplast
more top of cell for light
tall shape
long surface area
absorb CO2
thin
pack lots int
guard cells
kidney shaped
stomata (pores)
open and close
thin outer walls,
thickened inner walls
lots of water in plant
cells turgid
open stomata
exchange gases for photosynthesis
short of water in plant
cells flaccid
close stomata
prevent water escape
light sensitive
close at night
no photosynthesis
main function
allow gas exchange
controll water loss
red blood cells
concave
large surface area
absorb oxygen
pass smoothly through capillaries
haemoglobin
pigment
absorbs oxygen
no nucleus
blood counts as a tissue (weird)
Sperm / egg cells
reproduction
egg cell
female DNA
nourish developing embryo
food reserves
sperm cell
fuses with egg
egg membrane changes
stops more sperm entering
correct amount of DNA
male DNA to female DNA
structure
long tail
streamline head
swimmer
mitochondria
energy
enzymes
digest egg cell membrane
cells of the reproductive system
