structures
within a cell
What is the main difference between plant cells and animal cells?

Absent
What are the key structures and functions within the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell?
Nuclear Membrane
: Encloses the nucleus, separating it from the
cytoplasm
.
Nucleolus
: Produces ribosomes.
Nucleus: Contains the cell's
genetic material
(
DNA
).

Microtubules
Why do plant cells need chloroplasts, while animal cells do not?
Chloroplasts allow plant cells to perform
photosynthesis
to produce their own food
What is the fluid-filled sac that stores materials called?
Vacuole
What type of cell is depicted in the image?
