Biology: B2a
  1. Cells
    1. Plant cell
      1. Cytoplasm: Gel-like substance where most of the chemical reactions take place
        1. Mitochondria: Where respiration takes place
          1. Nucleus: Contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell
            1. Ribosomes: Where proteins are made
              1. Cell membrane: Holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out
                1. Cell wall: Made of cellulose, supports and strengthens the cell
                  1. Vacuole: Contains cells sap (a weak solution of salts and sugars)
