Animal

• Ribosome - The site of protein synthesis
• The nucleus is the control centre of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) that controls all activities within the cell.
• Animal cells lack a cell wall, which is a feature present in plant cells.
• Nucleolus - A small structure inside the nucleus where ribosomes are made
• Mitochondria - The powerhouse of the cell, producing energy through respiration
• Mitochondria are involved in energy production through respiration.
• Nucleus

  Holds all the DNA in chromosomes, important for storing genetic information and makes the cell function
• Cell membrane


  Responsible for controlling what goes in and out of the cell, different from plant cells which have a cell wall and cell membrane
• Cytoplasm

  Where most enzyme reactions and chemical transformations take place
• Mitochondria


  Where respiration takes place to produce energy
• Ribosomes

  Where proteins are made
• Animal cells have a cell membrane which surrounds the cell and controls what goes in and out of the cell
• Animal cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes and a nucleolus
