• A animal cells structure contains 5 structures including a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, ribosomes and mitochondria
• A plant cells structure contains 8 structure including a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, nucleus, mitochondria, vacuole and ribosomes
• A bacterial cells structure contains 6 structures including cell membrane, cell wall, ribosomes, plasmids, large circular DNA molecule and cytoplasm
• A fungal cell structure contains 6 structures including cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosome, vacuole and cytoplasm
• Bacterial cells have a large loop of chromosomes and smaller rings of DNA called PLASMIDS
• The nucleus stores DNA (genetic information) and controls the activities in the cell
• The cytoplasm is the site of chemical reaction
• The cell membrane controls what materials enter and exits the cell
• The ribosome is the site of protein synthesis in the cell
• The mitochondria is the site of aerobic respiration in the cell
• The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis in the celll
• The cell wall provides support and protection from bursting and is made of cellulose.
• The vacuole is a fluid filled sac that stores cell sap and helps maintain the cell's shape and water balance
• The plasmid is a small circular DNA molecule which contains additional genetic information
• Cells are building blocks of all living organisms
• Organisms made of a single cell are called unicellular
• Bacterial cells and fungus yeast cells are unicellular
• Organisms made up of many cells are called multicellular as they have millions of cells
• Animal cells, most plant cells and many species of fungi are multicellular
