Resource summary

Plant Cell
  1. Cell Membrane
    1. 1. Made of phospholipid bilayer
      1. 2. Semi-permeable (controls entry/ exit of substances)
        1. 3. Gives cell space and support
        2. Cell Wall
          1. 1. Made of cellulose
            1. 2. Fully permeable (lets anything in)
              1. 3. Strength and support of cell
                1. 4. Pectin (protein) holds adjacent cells together
                2. Nucleus
                  1. 1. Contains DNA arranged into chromosomes
                    1. 2. Controls cells activities e.g controls semi-permeable membrane
                      1. 3. Nuclear membrane is semi-permeable
                      2. Cytoplasm
                        1. Jelly-like substance that suspends organelles e.g mitochondria
                        2. Mitochondria
                          1. Cellular respiration (supplies energy to cell)
                          2. Chloroplasts
                            1. Contains green pigment chlorophyll
                              1. 1. Chlorophyll absorbs light
                                1. 2. Chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis
                              2. Ribosome
                                1. 1. Makes protein
                                  1. 2. Contains RNA
                                  2. Vacuole
                                    1. 2. Contains cell sap e.g water, sugar
                                      1. 1. Stores food
                                        1. 3. Gives cell shape
