Animal + Plant cells

• Importance of mitochondria


  .requires energy to function

  .site of respiration

  .energy is released in repisration
• Synthesise 


  to produce
• Why do ribosomes synthesise proteins


  to produce, from amino acid, ribosomes are the site of protein production
• Function of the Nucleus


  controls activities of the cell, contains genetic information
• Type of cells that do NOT contain nucleus


  Red blood cell

  Prokaryote

  bacteria

  xylem cells
• Site of respiration


  The location within the cell where energy is produced through the process of cellular respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria.
• Cellular respiration


  The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into water, carbon dioxide, and ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the cell.
• Eukaryotic cells


  Cells that contain a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, including mitochondria, where cellular respiration takes place.
