, B1.1 - CELL STRUCTURE
ORGANELLES – ROLES – WHERE FOUND:
• Nucleus – contain genetic material and control cells
activities – Eukaryotic cells e.g. Animal cells and Plant cells
• Cell membrane – Controls which substances pass in and
out of cell (selectively permeable) - All cells
• Cytoplasm – Where chemical reactions take place, made
up of salts and nutrients – All cells
• Mitochondria – Site of aerobic respiration, provides energy
for the cell – nearly all cells (e.g. not RBC – Red blood cells)
• Ribosomes – Site of protein synthesis – nearly all cells part
of a multicellular and prokaryotic organism
• Cell Wall – Rigid structureCV for support and structure, made
of cellulose – some fungus, plants, prokaryotes Cells - Smallest unit of
• Permanant vacuole – contains cell sap (mixture of sugars, life that can replicate
salts and water) - some fungus, algae & plants independently
• Chloroplasts – Site of photosynthesis, contains pigment
called chlorophyll – Plants and algae Multi-cellular
• Flagella – Enables movement – Bacteria organism's cells
• Plasmids – Extra genes that aren't essential for life but kept reproduce for growth
– Bacteria and replacement of
• Single circular strand of DNA – Genes to survive and dead cells
reproduce - Bacteria
