What is the difference between Eukaryotic cells and Prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells have a proper nucleus but Prokaryotic cells don't and they have a cell wall
What is a stem cell
An undifferentiated cell
Nucleus- Controls all activities of the cell and contains the DNA
Where is the nucleus found?
In animal cells and plant cells
Cytoplasm- where chemical reactions take place and where most of the cell's organelles are found
Where is cytoplasm found?
In animal cells and plant cells
Mitochondria- Where aerobic respiration takes place
Where is mitochondria found?
In animal cells and plant cells
Cell wall- made of cellulose forms a rigid non-living box around the cell to help support the cell
Where is a cell wall found?
Only in plant cells
Vacuole- helps to store cell sap, salts, minerals, pigments and proteins
Where is a vacuole found?
In a plant cell
Cell membrane- Controls the movement of substances in to and out of the cell
Where is cell membrane found?
In animal cells and plant cells
Chloroplasts- contains chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy to help make food by photosynthesis
Where are chloroplasts found?
In plant cells
Ribosomes - Site of protein synthesis in the cell
What's a stem cell
An undifferentiated/unspecialised cell
