Plant
cells also contain
chloroplasts
for
photosynthesis.
Animal
cells lack
chloroplasts
but may contain
mitochondria
for respiration.
Cell wall
- made of c
ellulos
e, supports
and streng
thens the cell
Nucleus
- contains
genetic material
that controls the
activities
of the cell.
Cytoplasm
-
gel
like substance where chemical
reactions
take place
Mitochondria
- where reactions for
aerobic
respiration
takes place. respiration transfers
energy
that the cell needs to work
Ribosomes
are responsible for protein synthesis. Where protein is made
Cell
membrane
holds
the cell together and controls what goes
in
and
out
The
cell
wall is made of
cellulose.
It is a
rigid structure
that
strengthens
and supports the cell.
Permanent
vacuole
contains
cell sap
a solution of
sugar
and
salts
Chloroplasts
is where
photosynthesis
takes place and where the green
pigment
chlorophyll
is found
Plant cells have a
permanent vacuole
which stores water,
minerals
and
sugars
Animal cells do not contain a
permanent vacuole
as they absorb water through their
skin
or
gut lining
