Name the four parts of a animal cell
nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm
mitochondria
The role of the nucleus is to
contains DNA
to control reactions involving reproduction
the role of cell membrane is to
let water, oxygen, glucose, nutrients in and carbon dioxide out
the role of the mitochondria is to
convert glucose and oxygen into energy
the role of the organelles is to
make new materials
what does a plant have cell that an animal cell does not
vacuole, cell wall and chloroplast
why do plant cells need extra structure
animal cells need to be flexible while plant cells need a specific shape
the role of the vacuole is what
large bubble of liquid which stores nutrients, sugars and salt and provides internal pressure
what is the role of cell wall
extra support
what is the role of chloroplasts
