Nucleus -> Controls everything that happens in the cell & contains information to make new cells
Cytoplasm -> Jelly lilke substance in which chemical reactions of the cell take place. These reactions are controlled by enzymes
Cell Membrane -> Gives the cell its shape and contols which substances enter and leave the cell
Ribosomes -> Where the proteins are made

Cells
Plant cells:
Cell wall -> Found outside the cell membrane. Made of cellulose amd strengthens the cell.
Chloroplasts -> Found in cytoplasm of many plant cells. They absorb light energy to make photosynthesis
Vacuole -> Large sac in center of cytoplasm. Contains a watery fluid called cell sap.

Difference between plant and animal cells
Plant cells: Animal Cells:
Tough cell walls for support No cell walls
Many have chloroplasts No chloroplasts
Large permeable vacuole containing Some have small
cell sap vacuoles, but no cell sap
Many have box like shape Shape varies

Tissues and organs
Tissues:
Are groups of identical cells that all do the same job.
For example: Heart muscle cells form heart muscle tissue throughout your life
Organs:
Made up of groups of tissues.
For example your heart is made up of muscle tissue, blood tissue and nerve tissue.
These tissues all do different jobs, but work together to pump blood around your body. They work together to do a particular job.
Number of organs working together makes up a system.

Mitochondria +
Mitochondria
-Small sausage shaped structures that can only be seen under an electron microscope
- Found in cytoplasm
- Release Energy from respiration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specialised cells- Cells that have developed to a specific job.
E.g. Sperm cells have tails to swim
Red blood cells contain substance that carries oxygen

Diffusion & Osmosis
DIFFUSION:
Diffusion is the movement of paricles from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration until they are evenly spread out.
OSMOSIS:
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane
