38 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
nucleus
controls the activity of the cell wall
mitochondria
respiration occurs here for releasing energy
chloroplast
light energy is absorbed and changed into food here
ribosome
proteins are made (synthesised) here
cell wall
supports the and keeps its shape
vacuole
full of cell sap and maintains shape
cell membrane
controls the movement of substances in and out
cytoplasm
this is where many reactions takes place
Animal cell
ribosomes
cell membrane
cytoplasm
nucleus
mitochondria
plant cell
chloroplasts
vacuole
cell wall
cell membrane
ribosomes
mitochondria
nucleus
specialised cells
specialised cells are important because they have their own functions and features
sperm cell
sperm cells have a head to dive

male reproductive cells that are fertilise the egg cell

they contain mitochondria to provide energy for swimming
red blood cell
transports oxygen molecules throughout the body

contains a red pigment called haemoglobin- which blinds oxygen
they are disk shape
white blood cell
destroys pathogens
some can change shape of engulf
pathogens squeeze between other body cells
other white blood cells produce pathogens for destruction
nerve cell
transmits electrical signals throughout the body
they have a thin long axon, surrounded by a layer of insulating mylein(the pink outside of the axon) which increases the speed of electrical impulses
cell body has branched endings to connect to many other nerve cells
muscle cell
they are made from proteins
they receive an electrical impulse when they contract, this causes the muscle to shorten
can store glucose and fat, which are used when large amounts for energy are needed (protein shakes are to stronger muscles)
diffusion
is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, until evenly spread out e.g. perfume
A difference between 2 areas is called a concentration gradient
factors which affect diffusion
temperature
concentration gradient
osmosis
osmosis is the movement of water from a high concentration from a high concentration to a low concentration
osmosis
plants and red blood cells use osmosis
osmosis is a partially permeable membrane (only allows certain things in and out)
osmosis
osmosis occurs across a semi-permeable membrane which has tiny holes in it.
these holes are small enough for water molecules to pass through but larger molecules cannot pass through
osmosis and animal cells
animal cells dont have a cell wall, this means they either:
swell and burst if water osmosis
shrink if too much leaves
root hair cell
root hair cells grow on the surface of roots and absorb water and minerals from the soil
they have long thin projections that stick.
have a large surface area for absorption
xylem cell
xylem vessels transport water and minerals ions up the plant.
the cells that make up these vessels are dead-they have no organelles to obstruct the water flow.
they have no cell wall
sieve cell
sieve cells are themain tupe of cell in sive tubes. these transport carbohydrates around the plant.
they loose their nuclei but keep cytoplasm
palisade cell
paliasade cells are the main site of photosynthesis.
they lie in closely packed rows underneath the upper epidermis of leaves
epidermal cell
epidermal cells form the top layer of cells in the leaves.
they are very thin to let sunlight pass through to the photosynthesising palisade cells, and have no chloroplasts to absorb sunlight.
they are covered by a protective waxy cuticle
what is the formula to make a system
cell->tissue->organ->system
tissue

tissues in the human body are?
tissue is the a group of cells with similar structure and function
glandular tissue
muscular tissue
epithelial tissue
proteins
proteins have very large molecules.
proteins are made of amino acids
proteins are needed for growth and repair
proteins:
enzymes
hormones
antibodies
cell
every cell has a cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm
protein molecules
protein molecules can fold up into different shapes. the shape of a protein molecule affects the way that is behaves
enzymes
are biological catalysts
they speed up the chemical reactions that take place inside all cells
enzymes are proteins and contain amino acids
enzymes are specific in their reaction
enzymes work best at 37 degrees (human temp)
a subtrate is joined to the active site to make an product of enzyme
enzyme reactions
enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy (Ea) of a reaction.
the activation energy is the energy needed to start a reaction
different reactions have different activation energies
factors that affect the rate of a reaction
temperature
PH
enzyme concentration
subtrate concentration
surface area
pressure
enzyme molecule
high temperature changes the shape of the enzyme molecule, so the enzyme stops working
PH
the PH also affects the shape of an enzyme.
different enzymes work best at different PH values
why is it bad having temperature?
digestion problems-food wont be able to break down
respiration problems- wont be able to breath
protein synthesis- cant make protein and cell in your body, and every cell in your body has protein , so creates a problem
