• example of the animal cell

  
• animal cells contain

  • nucleus
  • mitochondria
  • cell membrane
  • cytoplasm
  • ribosomes
• example of a plant cell

  
• plant cells contain a

  • cytoplasm
  • mitochondria
  • nucleus
  • cell membrane
  • cell wall/cellulose
  • chloroplasts
  • ribosomes
  • vacuole
• cell wall-made to strengthen the cell and is made up of cellulose
• cell membrane-controls what goes in and out of the cell and surrounds the whole cell holding it togther
• cytoplasm-is a jelly like substance and is where chemical reactions take place
• nucleus-contains the genetic material DNA and controls the cell activity for example cell division and growth
• mitochondria-where aerobic respiration takes place and provides energy for the cell. the singular term for a mitochondria is a mitochondrion
• ribosomes-is the site of protein synthesis(produce proteins)used by the cell to carry out its activities
• chloroplasts-where photosynthesis takes place. contains chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy from the sun which turns into food for the plant
• permanent vacuole-gives strength to the cell and is used by the cell to store substances such as food and water
