cell structures

• The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, producing energy through cellular respiration.
• The cell membrane is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds and protects the cell.
• The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) that determines an organism's characteristics.
• Ribosomes are small structures found inside cells where proteins are synthesized.
• Chloroplasts are specialized organelles found only in plant cells, responsible for photosynthesis.
• The nucleus contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cell growth and division.
• The cytoplasm contains various substances such as enzymes, ribosomes, and other molecules involved in metabolic processes.
• Mitochondria generate energy through aerobic respiration.
• Cell membranes regulate what enters and exits the cell.
• Vacuoles store water, nutrients, or waste products within the cell.
• The cell wall is found only in plants and is made of cellulose to strengthen the cell
• Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll pigments that absorb light energy.
• Nucleus stores genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities.
• Ribosomes synthesize proteins based on instructions from DNA.
• Animal and plant cells are Eukaryotic cells
• Bacteria is a Prokaryotic cell
• Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
• A bacterial cell consists of: cell wall, cell membrane, plasmids and a DNA loop floating in cytoplasm
• A plasmid is a small ring of DNA which can be found in a prokaryotic cell
• Mitochondria produce energy through respiration
• Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll to absorb light energy during photosynthesis
• Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis
• Ribosomes make proteins
