Study Notes
Animal Cell Structure
- Animal cells have a nucleus with a distinct membrane
- Animal cells lack cellulose cell walls
- Animal cells lack chloroplasts, therefore, cannot perform photosynthesis
- Animal cells store carbohydrates as glycogen
Plant Cell Structure
- Plant cells have a nucleus with a distinct membrane
- Plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose
- Plant cells contain chloroplasts, enabling photosynthesis
- Plant cells store carbohydrates as starch or sucrose
Plant and Animal Cell Structure and Function
Nucleus
- Contains DNA (genetic material) controlling cell activities
Cytoplasm
- Gel-like substance containing water and dissolved substances
- Supports internal structures
- Site of many chemical reactions
Cell Membrane
- Separates the inside of the cell from the outside
- Controls which substances enter and leave the cell
- Site of protein synthesis
- Site of anaerobic respiration
Ribosomes
- Found in the cytoplasm
- The site of protein synthesis
Mitochondria
- The site of aerobic respiration
