Contains DNA coding for a particular protein needed to build new cells, enclosed in a nuclear membrane
Cytoplasm
Liquid substance in which chemical reactions occur, contains enzymes (biological catalysts, i.e. proteins that speed up the rate of reaction), organelles are found in it
Cell membrane
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
Mitochondria
Where aerobic respiration reactions occur, providing energy for the cell
Ribosomes
Where protein synthesis occurs, found on a structure called the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Plant cells
Chloroplasts
Permanent vacuole
Cell wall
Chloroplasts
Where photosynthesis takes place, providing food for the plant, contains chlorophyll pigment (which makes it green) which harvests the light needed for photosynthesis
Permanent vacuole
Contains cell sap, found within the cytoplasm, improves cell's rigidity
Cell wall
Made from cellulose, provides strength to the cell, also present in algal cells
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, so do not share as many similarities in the type of organelles as animal and plant cells do
