Animal and Plant Cell

A chromosome is

Humans have pairs of chromosomes , males

23 xx

Cell- > tissue ->

Organ system <organism
smallest largest
Nucleus-controlls the activities of the cell and encloses genetic material

Cytoplasm -
where most of the chemical reactions take place

Cell membrane-controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell

Mitochondria -
where aerobic respiration takes place

Ribosomes -
where protiensynthesis occurs

Vacuole -
Contains Cell sap

Chloroplasts -
Contain Chlorophyll (green Pigment) to absorb light, energy for photosynthesis

Cell wall-made of cellulose to


give the cell structure and support

Chromosome -

Where there are


genes

Eukaryotic -

do have a nucleus

Prokaryotic -
No nucleus

The different parts of plant and animal cells all have their own function.
Eukaryotic Cells do contain a nucleus whilst prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus , but
they do
have a loop of chromosomal DNA instead of a nucleus .
Microscopes
Magnification- increasing the size of an object

Resolution -
How well a microscope Can tell the difference between 2 objects that are close together

Light Microscope Electron microscope

Advantages -

Cheap and accessible Advantages -


massive magnification
Disadvantages -
limited magnification Disadvantages- Very expensive

light microscopes cheap but aren't the best quality , Whilst electron microscopes
are are expensive
but have very good magnification and resolution.

Total Magnification =
eyepiece lens x Objective lens

Eyepiece lens -
It's used to look through and see the
magnification
Course focus -
It is used to
bring the slide in view

fine focus -
is used to ajust the lens to your preference

Objective lens -

used to see the object under magnification

Slide-this is used to hold what is


being observed.

It is used to hold the specimen in place

to shine the light from the lamp

Cell Differentiation
The cells in the pancreas produce insulin (a protein) so
they have lots of ribosomes

The muscle cells contract to allow movement so


they have lots of Mitochondria

The Palisade cells absorb sunlight so they have lots of chloroplasts

.

mostly happens
at the start of the organisms life.

In plant cells differentiation happens continuously throughout the life of the Organism.

In both animal and plant cells differentiation Produces new specialised Cells .

Cell differentiation is used to repair and replace old or damaged cells . In animal cells it
happens at the start or later in life Whilst
,
in plant cells it can differentiate throughout it's life
The Cell Cycle
Cell division by mitosis is important in growth and development of multicellular

Organisms. In adults it is important for repair and replacement of cells.

First the DNA replicates it gets bigger , and more organelles are made .

Secondly, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell ,


the Copy of the chromosomes move to opposite

poles of the cell .


Then the cytoplasm and the cell membrane divides .
finally ,
the cell becomes two
genetically identical daughter cells .

Mitosis is a stage in the cell cycle it is the process of When a cell replicates chromosomes

Stem Cells ·

Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to differentiate into another

type of cells. There are two sources in humans, bone marrow and embreyo.

Embryonic Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to become any specialised
cell .

They can become nerve cells red blood cells and muscle cells
,
.

Stem cells can treat diabetes and paralysis .

Adult Stem Cells Can only become a certain specialised Cell .

Diffusion
Where diffusion happens in the
body :

Digestive System- glucose in the small intestine

Respiratory System -

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide in the alveoli

Circulatory System -

glucose Oxygen
,
and Carbon dioxide in the Capillaries

Diffusion Can happen in liquids and gases it's the,


movement of particles. The
Molecules more until
they are evenly distributed.

A eukaryotic nucleus splits in two·

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a


high concentration to a low
Concentration , against a concentration gradient.
Active Transport ·

hypertonic Solution higher solute concentration outside of the cell

hypotonic solution lower solute concentration outside of the cell

Active transport example in plants: A root hair cell as


they Constantly need more minerals

Example in animals : The villi uses active transport as it


constantly needs glucose

Active transport is the movement of molecules from low to high concentration


(against their concentration gradient) using energy released through aerobic respiration
in Mitochondria.

Active transport is the movement of molecules from a low to high concentration against their

Osmosis
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from a dilute solution to a more
concentrated solution through a
,
partially permeable membrane.
.
The water molecules are
moving from left to right This Causes Water levels on the right
to increase. This is because the water molecules moved across the
partially permeable
-

membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution by


osmosis. The water
is
moving from where there is a higher concentration of water molecules to where there
is a lower concentration of water.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a dilute to a more concentrated


solution .
