Both
Controls substances which go in and out of the cell
Which cells contain a cytoplasm and what is its function
Both
Gel-like substance where chemical reactions happen. Also contains enzymes
Which cells contain a cell wall and what is its function
Plant cells (in plants it's made of cellulose) Strengthens the cell
The chemical reactions inside cells are controlled by _____________
Enzymes
Which cells contain chloroplasts and what is its function
Plants
They make food for the plant by photosynthesis - they contain chlorophyll
What is the energy storage molecule in plants and what is it in animals
Animals: Glycogen
Plants: Starch
Which cells contain mitochondria and what is its function Respiration (the release of energy from glucose) occurs in these organelles.
Both
Power house of the cell within which respiration takes place to produce energy
Where do we store glycogen
In our liver and muscles
Name 3 cell structures which only plants have
Cell wall
Vacuole
Chloroplasts
What is the function of chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are found in cells that carry out photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll to trap light energy.
What is glycogen
Human energy storage molecule
What is cilia
Microscopic hair-like vibrating structures
Extensions of the cytoplasm and cell membrane
What is a root hair tissue
Found in roots. Takes in water from the soil
State 5 different parts of a plant cell
Nucleus Cell membrane Cytoplasm Mitochondria Cell wall Chloroplasts Vacuole
Which cells contain a vacuole and what is its function
Plants
Contains cell sap and helps to support the cell
