  • ribosomes
    site of protein synthesis
  • mitochondria
    site of aerobic respiration in the cell
  • cell wall
    layer of support to give cell extra strength
  • chloroplasts
    carry out photosynthesis, contain pigment chlorophyll
  • how is mitochondria represented in diagram
    line that are widthways and often wiggly
  • chloroplasts on diagram
    no lines or straight lines lengthways
  • nucleus
    contains genetic information of the cell, surrounded by it's own membrane
  • cytoplasm
    thick watery liquid where chemical reactions take place and where other organelles are found
  • cell membrane
    surrounds cell, keeps all organelles inside and controls movement of substances in and out of the cell
  • vacuole
    large organelle in centre of plant cell and small, temporary one in some animal cells. surrounded by a membrane filled with fluid (cell sap) for plants
  • which organelles are only plants and not animals
    chloroplasts, cell wall, permanent vacuole
