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 |
