CYTOPLASM

3 of 16

Animal Cells- Definition

The cytoplasm is a liquid gel in which most the chemical reactions needed for life take place. One of the most important of these is respiration, where oxygen and sugar react to release the energy the cell needs.

Plant Cells- Term

CHLOROPLASTS

13 of 16

Plant Cells- Definition

Chloroplasts, found in all green parts of the plant. They are green because they contain chlorophyll which gives the plant its colour. They absorb light energy to make food by the process of photosynthesis.
