Parts Of An Animal/Plant Cell Flashcards
Cell Wall
It strengthens the cell and provides support. It is made of a tough fibre called cellulose, which makes the wall ridged.
Vacuole
This contains a watery liquid called cell sap. It helps keep the cell firm.
Chloroplasts
This is where photosynthesis happens. Chloroplasts contain a liquid-like substance called Chlorophyll, which traps energy transferred from the Sun.
Cell Membrane
This is the barrier around the cell. It controls what goes in and what goes out of the cell.
Cytoplasm
This is a jelly-like substance where chemical reactions take place.
Nucleus
This controls the cell and contains genetic material. Genetic information is needed to make new cells.
Mitochondria
This is where respiration happens. Respiration is a reaction that transfers energy for the organism.
