Plant And Animal Cells Flashcards
Cell Membrane
Controls what enters and leaves the cell, e.g. Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Glucose
Nucleus
A large structure that contains DNA - instructions for the building and working of the cell
Cytoplasm
A jelly-like substance that fills the cell - many reactions take place here
Mitochondria
Tiny structures where respiration takes place, releasing energy for cell processes
Cell Wall
The cell wall is made out of cellulose, and is tough so that it helps support the cell to keep its shape. A cell wall is only found in plant cells
Central Vacuole
This helps keep the plant cell rigid and contains cell sap
Chloroplasts
This is where photosynthesis takes place to make food for the plant cell
