Components of plant and
animal cells
- Exclusive to plant cells
- chloroplasts; where
photosynthesis takes
place to make food for
the plant cell
- cell wall; made of cellulose &
is tough so the cell is
supported & keeps its shape
- Don't confuse this with the cell
membrane!
- large central vacuole;
contains cell sap which helps
to keep the plant cell rigid
- Of both plant cells &
animal cells
- cell membrane; controls what
enters/leaves the cell
- e.g.: carbon dioxide,
oxygen, glucose
- Don't confuse this with the cell wall!
- nucleus: large structure that contains DNA
- DNA are instructions for the working
& building of a cell
- mitochondria: tiny structures where respiration take place
- respiration releases energy for cell processes
- cytoplasm; jelly-like substance that fills the cell
- many reactions take place here
- this is NOT a proper structure! it is a
substance that fills a cell and
supports other structures
