What does the nucleus contain
Genetic material
Cell membrane
Controls the passage of substances into or out of the cell
Cytoplasm
Where all the chemical reactions happen which keeps the cell alive
Ribosomes
Tiny structures
Mitochondria
Releases energy from glucose during aerobic respiration however they are not found in all bacteria

They are only found in plant cells and make sugars by photosynthesis. They also contain green pigment called chlorophyll
Chlorophyll
Green pigment that traps light energy
Cell wall
Semi rigged structure to support and protect the cell
Vacuole
Contains fluid called sap when full this keeps the cell rigid to support the plant
