Study Notes
Animal and Plant Cell Structures
- Eukaryotic animal cells share key components like the nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, and cytoplasm.
- Plant cells have additional structures compared to animal cells:
- Cellulose cell wall
- Permanent vacuole filled with cell sap
- Chloroplasts in leaves and stems for photosynthesis.
- Some cellular structures are too small to be seen with a light microscope and need an electron microscope for observation.
Studying Cell Biology
- Students are encouraged to draw and label plant and animal cells for effective revision.
- Additional learning resources like flashcards and tests are available online for studying cell biology.
- The educational materials on the website were written by Lára Marie McIvor, an Oxford University graduate with expertise in infectious disease and epidemiology.
