This controls the cell
It is both.
What is cytoplasm?
What type of cell is it?

This is a bow with holes in it that supports the cell. It is made of cellulose, Which is very strong.
It is a plant cell
What is chloroplast?
What type of cell is it?
These are green discs in the cytoplasm that contains chlorophyll. They make food for the plant, using photosynthesis.
It is a plant cell.
What is a vacuole?
What type of cell is it?
This is a large storage space, filled with cell sap.
It is a plant cell
What is a mitochondria?
What type of cell is it?
