Life processes

Chloroplast

contains green pigment called chlorophyll and absorbs light energy in photosynthesis for making food.

Nucleus

is the largest organelle in the cell and controls the activities of the cell.

Ribosome

are tiny structures in the cytoplasm and site of protein synthesis.

vacuole

The in animal cell is small or absent and its nucleus is at the centre.

mitochondrion

The is involved in the release of energy in respiration.

Cytoplasm

is where most chemical reactions take place.

Animal cells

use glycogen granules as food storage and is without chloroplast.

cell membrane

The is selectively permeable and controls the movement of substances into and out of a cell.

cell wall

The contains large holes and is freely permeable.

Plant cells

are relatively larger in size and regular shaped.

Cytoplasm

is jelly- like and contains mainly water and small structures called organelles.

animal cells

In , it is relatively smaller in size and irregularly shaped.

cell wall

The is thick and tough and made of cellulose.

cell wall

The is found outside the cell membrane.
