Comparing Animal And Plant Cells Flashcards
They both contain
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Plant cells also contain these organelles which aren’t found in animal cells
Cell wall
Vacuole
Chloroplasts
What type of cells are they
They are eukaryotic cells which means they have a nucleus surrounded by a nuclear envelope.
Function of - cytoplasm
Is where reactions take place
Function of - nucleus
Contains the DNA and controls the reactions in the cell.
Function of - cell membrane
This is the gate keeper it decides what comes in and out
Function of - mitochondria
Provides energy -respiration
Function of - cell wall
Structure/ the strength
Function of - permanent vacuole
Holds the water, mineral ions
Function of - chloroplasts
Contains chlorophyll and photosynthesises
Info
The cell wall is freely permeable and the cell membrane is freely permeable.
