Animal cell:
- Cell membrane – controls what enters and leaves the cell, e.g. oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose
- Nucleus – contains DNA, instructions for the cell
- Cytoplasm – fills the cell, reactions take place here
- Mitochondria – where respiration takes place, releasing energy for the cell
- Ribosomes – the site of protein synthesis
Plant cell:
- Cell membrane
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
- Mitochondria
- Cell wall – made of cellulose, tough to help the cell support its shape
- Central vacuole – contains cell sap to help keep the cell rigid
- Chloroplasts – where photosynthesis takes place to make food for the cell
- Ribosomes
