Animal and plant cells

Most animal cells have the following parts

• a nucleus which controls the activities of the cell
• cytoplasm in which most of the chemical reactions take place
• a cell membrane which controls the passage of substance in and out of the cell
• mitochondria, which is where most energy is released in respiration
• robisomes, which is where protein synthesis occurs

Plant cells have everything an animal cell has including 3 Others

• cell wall which strengthen the cell
• chloroplasts which absorb light energy to make food
• a permanent vacuole filled with cell sap
