Plasma Membrane (Description) |
The membrane found on the surface of animal cells and just inside the cell wall of plant cells. It's made mainly of proteins and lipids. |
Surface Proteins and lipids |
|
|
Plasma Membrane (Function) |
Regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell. It also has receptor molecules on it, which allow it to respond to chemicals like hormones
|
Regulates Receptor |
|
Cell Wall (Description) |
A rigid structure that surrounds plant cells. It's made mainly of the carbohydrate cellulose. |
Plant cell Cellulose |
|
|
Cell Wall (Function) |
Supports plant cells |
Support |
|
Nucleus (Description) |
A large organelle surrounded by a nuclear envelope (double membrane), which contains many pores. The nucleus contains chromatin (which is made of DNA and proteins) and a structure called the nucleolus |
Nuclear envelope Nucleolus DNA Chromatin Pores |
|
|
Nucleus (Function) |
It controls the cells activities (by controlling the transcription of DNA). DNA contains instructions to make proteins. The pores allow substances to go between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The nucleolus makes ribosomes |
Cell activity Makes proteins Movement of substances Ribosomes |
|
Lysosomes (Description) |
A round organelle surrounded by a membrane, with no clear internal structure. |
Round Clear |
|
|
Lysosomes (Function) |
Contains digestive enzymes. These are deprecate from the cytoplasm by the surrounding membrane, and can be used to digest invading cells or to break down worn out components of the cell |
