Cells

• Eukaryotic cells are complex and include all plant and animal cells
• Prokaryotic cells are simple and include bacteria
• Nucleus- contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell.
• Cell membrane- controls what goes in and out of the cell, controls what goes on the inside of the cell
• Cell wall- made of cellulose and supports the cell and provides strength and rigidity
• Mitochondria- where aerobic respiration takes place to produce ATP
• Cytoplasm- where chemical reactions take place, where most of the cell's organelles are found
• Ribosomes- Where proteins in the cell are made
• Chloroplast- contains chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy for photosynthesis
• Permanent vacuole- contains cell sap and is found in plant cells
• Bacteria cells don't have a true nucleus, instead they have a strand of DNA in the cytoplasm
