EUKARYOTIC Cells |
Organisms: Either Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes Eukaryotes: Organisms made up of Eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are complex and include all animal and plant cells |
|
|
PLANT Cells |
Plant cells have all the subcellular structures that animal cells have with a few more. Cell wall: Made of cellulose, supports cell and strengthens it Permanent vacuole: Contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts Chloroplasts: These are where photosynthesis occurs, which makes the food for the plant, they contain a green substance called chlorophyll, which absorb the light needed for photosynthesis |

ANIMAL Cells |
Animal cell: Type of Eukaryotic cell with the subcellular structures below Nucleus: Contains genetic material that controls cell activity Cytoplasm: Gel-like substance full of enzymes where most chemical reactions happen Cell membrane: Holds the cell together and controls what comes in and out Mitochondria: These are where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration take place, respiration transfers energy that the cell needs to work Ribosomes: Where proteins are made in the cell |
