Cell Structure and Division

Organisms can be Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes.

PROKARYOTES- Are smaller and simpler than Eukaryotes eg. bacteria. Is a single celled organism.

EUKARYOTES- Are complex and include all animal and plant cells. They are made up of eukaryotic cells

Animal cells contain:

• Nucleus- contains genetic information that controls the activity of the cell
• Cytoplasm- where most chemical reactions happen, contains enzymes that control them
• Cell Membrane- hold the cell together and conrols what goes in and out
• Mitochndria- where reactions for aerobic respiration take place
• Ribsomes- where proteins are made

Plant cells contain all of the above +:

• Cell wall- supports te cell and strengthens it
• Permanant Vacuole- contains cell spa
• Chloroplasts- where photosynthesis occurs making food for the plant
• Chlorophll- inside the chloroplasts and they absorb thr light needed gfor photosynthesis

Bacteria cells:

They are much smaller then the other cells because they are prokaryotic. It contains:

• Cell Membrane
• Cell Wall
• Single strand of DNA
• Plasmids- one or more small rings of…
