Cell structure

Animal cell

  • cell membrane

  • cytoplasm

  • nucleus

  • mitochondria

  • ribosomes

Animal cell definitions-

  • cell membrane - controls what enters and leaves the cell

  • cytoplasm - jelly-like substance where most chemical reactions occur

  • nucleus - contains genetic material (DNA) and controls the activities of the cell

  • mitochondria - site of respiration and they release energy for the cell

  • ribosomes - site of protein synthesis

Plant cell-

  • cell membrane

  • cytoplasm

  • nucleus

  • mitochondria

  • ribosomes

  • chloroplast

  • vacuole

  • ribosomes - site of protein synthesis

  • chloroplast - contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis

  • vacuole - large fluid-filled sac which stores cell sap and helps keep the cell firm
