features of prokaryotic cells
No nucleus, dna free floating No membrane bound organelles Dna in a region called the nucleotide Simpler and smaller than eukaryotic Have a cell wall Have ribosomes
features of eukaryotic cells
Has nucleus and membrane bound organelles More complex Larger Dna enclosed in nucleus
features of stem cells
Unspecialized cells Can self renew (multiply) Can differentiate
features of specialised cells
Specific structure to carry out particular job Become specialised through differentiate
features of neurons - nerve cells
Transmit electrical impulses Facilitate communication between different parts of the body and brain
features of Spermatozoa (sperm cell) cells
Specialised shape Fertilise egg and carry genetic material
features of Ova (egg cells)
Large Immobile Carry genetic material Provide environment for fertilisation and embryo development
features of Osteocytes (bone cells)
Bone cells derived from osteoblasts in bone marrow Maintain bone matrix Regulate calcium and phosphate levels
features of Fibroplasts
Produce collagen and fibers found in connective tissue Role in wound healing and maintaining extracellular matrix
features of red blood cells
Contain hemoglobin No nucleus Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide
features of white blood cells
Immune cells, protects body from infection and pathogens Detects and destroys infection and pathogens
features of Lympocytes
Subtype of white blood cells Found in lymphatic tissue and blood B-lymphocytes produce antibodies T-lymphocytes destroy infected cells
features of Adipose cells
Fat storing Store energy Provide insulation Cushion organs Secrete metabolic hormones
features of Plasma / cell membrane
Phospholipid bilayer Embedded proteins Regulates movement of substances in and out of cell Provides structural support Involved in cell signaling and communication
features of the cytoplasm
Gel like fluid Contains organelles, enzymes and nutrients Site of metabolic reactions Provides a medium for organelles to remain suspended
what is the Nucleolus
region within nucleus that synthesises ribosomal rna
what is the Nuclear Envelope
Double membrane with nuclear pores. regulate passage of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
Chromatin
A mixture of DNA and associated proteins. It condenses into chromosomes during cell division and controls cell activities by regulating gene expression and DNA replication.
features of Centriols
Cynindrical Made of microtubules Found in pairs Helps with cell division Forms cilia and flagella
features of Microfilaments
Thin, thread like fibers Made of actin Provides structural support
features of Mitochondria
Double membrane bound Site of atp production through aerobic respiration
features of the glogi apparatus
Stacks of flattened membrane bound sacs Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport forms lysosomes
features of the Rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer)
Network of membranes Studded with ribsomes Synthesises and transports proteins
features of the Smooth endopasmic reticulum
Network of membranes without ribosomes Synthisisies lipids Detoxifies drugs / poison Stores calcium ions
