|
Cell Membrane |
This surrounds the cytoplasm and controls the entry and exit of substances and is semi-permeable |
In both Animal and Plant cells |
|
|
Cytoplasm |
This is a jelly-like substance made of proteins dissolved in water. Many chemical reactions occur here. |
In both Animal and Plant cells |
|
|
Nucleus |
This organelle controls the activities of the cell. Chromosomes are found here which determine our individual characteristics. |
In both Animal and Plant cells |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Here sugar and oxygen react together to release energy by the process of aerobic respiration. |
In both Animal and Plant cells |
|
|
Vacuole |
Contains cell sap |
In only plant cells |
|
|
Chloroplast |
They are only found in photosynthesising plant cells. Here light energy is converted into chemical energy (food) using the molecule chlorophyll. |
In only photosynthesising plant cells |
|
|
Cell wall |
Only found in plant and algal cells. This is made up of cellulose and provides strength to the cell. |
In only plant and algal cells |
|
|
Ribosome |
Protein synthesis occurs here |
In both Animal and Plant cells |
|
|
Organelles |
The structures inside a cell |
E.g Ribosomes, Cell membrane, Nucleus, Mitochondria, Cytoplasm, Chloroplast, Vacuole, Cell Wall etc... |
|
|
Cell |
The basic building block of all living things. They are the smallest unit of an organism (living thing) |
They can be either eukaryotic or prokaryotic |
|
|
Eukaryotic |
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other common structures. E.g plants and animal cells |
Plant and Animal cells are eukaryotic |
|
|
Prokaryotic |
Cells that don't have the structures in a eukaryotic cell such as the nucleus. E.g Bacteria cells |
Bacteria cells are prokaryotic |
