Cell structure

• The two types of cells are animal cells and plant cells
• Plant cells are found in plants
• Animal cells are found in animals
• A plant cell has more components than an animal cell
• Mitochondria, cytoplasm, a nucleus and a cell membrane are the only components of an animal cell
• A plant cell has a cell membrane, a vacuole, a cell wall, mitochondria, a nucleus, cytoplasm and chloroplasts
• If the plant cell was underground it would not have chloroplasts because they are for photosynthesis, and underground the sun isn't visible
• The difference between a plant and animal cell is that a plant cell has a cell wall, a vacuole and chloroplasts
• Nucleus = controls cell activities & contains chromosomes (made from DNA)
• Mitochondria = site of aerobic respiration
• Cell membrane = semi-permeable so only small molecules can enter/exit
• cytoplasm = site of cell reactions
• Cell Wall = Provides structural support for the cell and gives the cell its shape
• chloroplasts = site of photosynthesis
• Vacuole = Contains sap (sugary water)
