animal and plant cells

• The chloroplast is an organelle found in plant cells that is responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
• Animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts.
• The cell wall is made up of cellulose, which provides strength to the cell.
• <S>:Mitochondria produce energy in the form of ATP necessary for various cell functions.
• The vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle that stores water, nutrients, and waste products in plant cells.
• Chromosomes are structures within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells that contain genetic information encoded as DNA.
• Cell membrane - A selectively permeable barrier surrounding the cell that regulates what enters and exits the cell.
• Plant cells have chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, allowing them to carry out photosynthesis.
• Cilia are hair-like projections on the surface of some cells that move back and forth to create movement or propel substances through fluids.
• Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm where most reactions take place.
• Both types of cells contain cytoplasm, which is a gel-like substance containing various substances such as enzymes, ribosomes, and other molecules necessary for metabolic processes.
• Plant cells contain vacuoles filled with water and other substances, providing support and structure to the cell.
• Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that store various materials such as water, enzymes, pigments, and waste products.
• The nucleolus holds the nucleus together
• Genes are units of heredity
• Ribosomes are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum
• The R.E.R transports proteins
• Lysosomes digest materials within the cell
• The cell wall is made of cellulose
• The cell wall shapes and supports a plant cell
• The cell wall is only in a plant cell
• Golgi bodies modify and package proteins to be moved out of the cell
• Golgo bodies are not attached to the nucleus
• Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in a plant cell
• Chloroplasts are only in plant cells
• The cell membrane controls entry of materials in and out of the cell
• The cell membrane is semi-permeable
• The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is a network of smooth, branched tubes that create and transport and store lipids (fats) and steroids (hormones)
• The nucleolus is a structure within the nucleus that is involved in the production of ribosomes
• The nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and controls the activities of the cell.
• Chromosones containing DNA are found in the nucleus
• Centrioles are involved in cell division for animal cells
• Centrioles are only in animal cells
• The cytoplasm is the gel-like area of the cell that contains all of the organelles
• Chlorophyll is a green pigment that traps light and makes plant cells green
• Chlorophyll is used to produce food in plant cells
• Chlorophyll is only in plant cells
• Mitochondria is the power house of the cell
• The mitochondria provides the cell with energy through cellular respiration
• The vacuole stores water and minerals within the cell
