Animal and Plant cells

• Animal and plant cells are eukaryotes. Their genetic material (DNA), is enclosed in a nucleus.
• What are the sub-cellular structures of an animal cell?


  Here it is but with annotations.

  
• The function of a nucleus is to enclose the genetic material, which controls the activities of the cell.
• The function of a cytoplasm is a watery solution, where chemical reactions take place, and supports internal cell structures.
• The function of a cell membrane is to control the molecules that can enter and leave the cell, and holds the cell together. Provides a selective barrier to molecules.
• The function of a mitochondria is where aerobic respiration takes place.
• The function of a ribosome are the sites of protein synthesis.
• Plant cells have a regular shape, and packed full of green structures.
• What are the sub-cellular structures of a plant cell?



  Here it is but with annotations.

  
• The function of chloroplasts is that they contain chlorophyll, and are the sites of photosynthesis.
• The function of the cell wall is that they are made from cellulose. This strengthens the cell, and defines it's shape.
• The function of the vacuole is that they are filled with a fluid called cell sap, and helps give the plant cell it's shape too.
