- Organelles of plant + animal cells (eukaryotic)
- Animal + plant
- Nucleus: contains genetic material which dictates activities/f-unctions of the cell.
- Cytoplasm: where most chemical reactions happen. Contains enzymes which control them
- Cell membrane: holds cell together. Controls what goes in + out.
- Mitochond-ria: where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration occurs. Respiration transfers energy needed for cell function. Contains enzymes which speed up respiration.
- Ribosomes: site of protein synthesis.
- Plant only
- Vacuole: contains cell sap, w/ various food/nutri-ents needed to survive.
- Cell wall: a rigid cellulose wall. Supports + strengthens cell.
- Chloroplast: site of photosynthesis. Contains a green substance -chlorophyll - absorbs needed light for photosynt-hesis.
- Organelle: specialised unit within a cell w/ a specific function, vital for the cell to live.
- Animal + plant
