Functions 1
What is the function of cytoplasm in a cell?
it provides a medium for chemical reactions to take place
What is the function of a vacuole in a cell?
They are a storage place for sugars, proteins, minerals, wastes, and pigments
What is the function of the nucleolus in a cell?
makes ribosomes that make proteins
Are ribosomes in plants, animals, or both?
Ribosomes--Both
Are lysosomes in plants, animals, or both?
Are Cell membranes in plants, animals, or both?
Lysosomes- Both
Cell membranes--Both
**Cell membranes are in PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING**
What is the function of a nucleus in a cell?
Controls the normal activities of the cell, contains the DNA (aka instructions) for making proteins
What is the function of the cell wall in a cell?
Gives structure and shape to plant and bacterial cells
What is the function of the Smooth and Rough ER in a cell?
Smooth ER- lacks ribosomes and makes proteins USED in the cell
Rough ER- has rough ribosomes on the surface and makes proteins to EXPORT
Are mitochondria in plants, animals, or both?
Are Golgi bodies in plants, animals, or both?
Golgi bodies- Both
What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?
they are the site of protein synthesis
What is the function of the lysosomes in a cell?
Break down food and worn-out cell parts for cells
**Contain digestive enzymes**
What is the function of the centrioles in a cell?
aids in cell division
Are chloroplasts in plants, animals, or both?
Chloroplasts--Plants
Are Nucleolus' in plants, animals, or both?
Nucleolus--Both
What is the function of the mitochondria in a cell?
site of cellular respiration, burns sugar (food) to produce energy ATP, powerhouse of the cell
What is the function of the cell membrane in a cell?
controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell, selectively pereable
Is cytoplasm in plants, animals, or both?
Cytoplasm--Both
Are valcuoles in plants, animals, or both?
Vacuole--Plants (Central Vacuole)
Animals (Small vacuole)
Are Smooth and Rough ERs in plants, animals, or both?
Smooth and Rough ER- Both
What is the function of the chloroplasts in a cell?
traps sunlight to make sugars (food)
**Process called photosynthesis**
What is the function of the Golgi bodies in a cell?
receive and modify proteins made by ER
Are nucleus' in plants, animals, or both?
Nucleus- Both
**BUT NOT BACTERIA**
Are cell walls in plants, animals, or both?
Cell walls- Plants
**Bacteria**
