What is the function of a cell membrane?
It forms a boundary between the cytoplasm of the cell and the outside.
What is the function of a cell wall?
It helps to keep the cell In its shape
The function of chloroplast?
It absorbs light energy to make food in the process of photosynthesis.
What is the function of a vacuole?
It’s filled with a watery liquid called cell sap a store of dissolved sugars mineral ions and other solutions.
What is the function of mitochondria?
They carry reactions of respiration to release energy that the cell can use.

What are the Characteristics of plants?
Contains chloroplasts and carry out photosynthesis
Store carbohydrates as starch or sucrose
Cellulose cell walls
Multi cellular organisms
Examples of plants
Maize
Peas
Whisk fern
What are the characteristics of an animal cell?
Do not contain chloroplasts, so it can't carry out photosynthesis. Multicellular organisms Have no organisms No cell wall Store carbohydrates as glycogen
Examples of animal living organisms
Frog
Shield bug
Kangaroo
Box jellyfish
Description of organelle
Cell structure that is specialised to carry out a particular function or job
What is the Structure of cell?
Basic structural and functional unit of a living organism
Function of tissue
Group of cells with similar structures, working together to perform a shared function.
Function of an organ
Structure made up of a group of tissues, working together to perform specific function.
Function of organ system
Group of organs with related functions, working together to perform body functions
