Animal and plant cell components

  • Cell membrane: Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

  • Cytoplasm: Where most of the chemical reactions occur.

  • Nucleus: Contains genetic material (DNA) and controls the activities of the cell.

  • Mitochondria: The powerhouse of the cell where energy (ATP) is produced through respiration.

  • Ribosomes: Where proteins are synthesized (protein synthesis).

  • Cell wall: Made of cellulose, provides structural support and protection.

  • Chloroplasts: Contain chlorophyll, which is necessary for photosynthesis to produce food.

  • Vacuole: Contains cell sap, maintains turgidity (rigidity) of the cell and stores nutrients and waste products.
