Animal and Plant Cells
All cells have:
Cell membrane
thin skin that holds cell together
controls what can enter and leave the cell
Cytoplasm
watery fluid in which other structures are suspended
Nucleus
'brain' of the cell
controls cell's activities
controls how cells divide to form new cells
Small Vacuoles
used for temporary storage of food and waste
Plant cells also have:
chloroplasts
contain chlorophyll
cell wall
outside membrane
gives cell support
all plant cells have walls so whole plant wont collapse
Large Vacuole
stores water, sugar and wastes
sugar stored in form of starch
The Microscpe
eyepiece
stage
objective lens
focus knob

Cell type →
Muscle cells
Allow movement
Red blood cells

Nerve Cells
Carry messages
