Cells

• The cytoplasm contains organelles, which are tiny structures that carry out specific functions within the cell.
• The nucleus is the control centre of the cell.
• Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, producing energy through cellular respiration.
• Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
• Vacuoles store water, nutrients, and waste products.
• Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials inside the cell.
• Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are found only in plant cells.
• Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and are involved in photosynthesis.
• Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made up of cellulose fibres to support their structure.
• Animal cells do not have a cell wall but instead rely on internal structures like microtubules and intermediate filaments for support.
• Cell membranes regulate what enters and exits the cell.
• Plasma membrane - outermost layer of the cell
• Cell membrane - A thin layer surrounding the cytoplasm that regulates what enters or leaves the cell.
• The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) and controlling all cell activities.
• DNA, contains the instructions for every job cells need to do and is passed from one generation to the next.
• Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus
