  • cells
    • animal cells
      • No large vacuole
      • No chloroplast
      • No cell wall
      • Many irregular shapes
    • plant cells
      • cell wall
        • gives celll support and shape
      • large vacuole
        • contains cell sap
          • cell sap- water with various things dissolved it it
      • chloroplast
        • chlorophyll absorbs light so plant can make food
          • process known as photosynthesis
      • regular shapes
    • most cells contain
      • cell membrane
        • holds the cell together
        • controls substances entering and leaving the cell
      • nucleus
        • contains  chromosomes and genes
        • controls how cell grows and works
      • mitochondria
        • where energy is released from food
          • process known as respiration
      • cytoplasm
        • where chemical reactions take place
    • specialized cells
      • have special features to help them carry out a certain job
        • sperm cell
          • tail which moves so it can swim
          • has many  mitochondria to give it energy for swimming
          • acrosome contains a digestive enzyme that makes a hole in the eggs cell membrane so the sperm can enter the egg
          • nucleus contains chromosomes which carry genetic information that will be passed down to the off spring
        • red blood cell
          • no nucleus
          • small
          • flexible
          • large numbers

      • 3 different ways
        • diffusion
        • osmosis
        • Active transport
      • diffusion
        • high concentration to areas of low concentration.
          • concentration gradient
        • stops when particles are evenly concentrated
        • difference in concentration
        • particles are constantly moving
