Card preview (24)
nucleus
centre of cell site of genetic transcription
nuclear membrane
forms protective barrier around nucleus composed of phospholipid bilayer controls movement of substances in & out
nucleolus
largest body within nucleus responsible for production of ribosomal subunits
SER
process & package lipids & hormones
RER
involved in production of proteins ribosomes on surface joined to nuclear membrane to enable rapid movement of information to the ribosomes from nucleus
golgi apparatus
sorting, modifying and packaging proteins for secretion movement of lipids around cell
mitochondira
cellular respiration - takes nutrients from cell (glucose from photosynthesis) breaks it down and turns it in energy (ATP)
chloroplast
converts light energy from sun into sugars to be used by cell chlorophyll is green pigment for photosynthesis
ribosomes
protein synthesis location in cell determines what kind of protein it makes
vesicle
composed of a phospholipid bilayer transport materials from on place to another
vacuole
membrane-bound sac provides structural support & storage for useful materials
centrosome
organise microtubules provides cell structure pulls chromatids apart during division
cell wall
structure & protection semi-permeable for osmosis & diffusion across membrane made of lignin - rigidity & support
cell membrane
double layer of lipids & proteins surrounding cell separates cytoplasm from surrounding environment selectively permeable - only lets certain molecules enter & exit active transport
cytoplasm
fluid that fill cell holds organelles in suspension gives cell its shape
meristematic tissues
undifferentiated tissues found at points of growth can differentiate when required allowing plant to grow
permanent tissues
what meristems differentiate into don’t change form or function
apical meristem
present at growing tips of stems & roots increases length
lateral meristem
consists of cells that mainly divide in one plane causing organ to increase in diameter & growth forms secondary growth
intercalary meristem
located between permanent tissues present at base of node, internode & leaf base branch formation & growth
vascular tissues
transport vessels move water & sugars around plant
epidermal tissues
tissues on outside of plant
ground tissues
less differentiated comprise much of cell serve many vital roles
phloem (vascular)
move SUGARS via diffusion & active transport stacked end-end creating a tube to carry sugars from source to sink/ sink to site of growth
