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.
