Cell structure

• Cells - every living thing is made up of cells
• Cell membrane controls substances that go into/out of the cell
• Chemical reactions happen in the cytoplasm
• Nucleus


  Contains genetic material and controls the cell's activity
• Ribosome


  Where proteins are made in protein synthesis
• Mitochondria


  Carries out respiration to release energy
• Chloroplast


  Where photosynthesis occurs, absorbs light energy
• Vacuole


  Contains cell sap of sugars/salts
• Cell wall (PLANTS)


  Made of cellulose, supports the cell
• Fungal cells have a cell wall, similar to plant cells but different from animal cells
• Plant cell walls are made of cellulose
• Flagellum (bacteria)


  Whip-like tail for movement
• Plasmid DNA (bacteria )

  Small loops of extra genetic material
• Chromosomal DNA (bacteria)

  Genetic material which contains the cell's activities
• Cell wall (bacteria)


  Made of peptidoglycan, supports the cell
