Study Notes
Cell Parts and Functions
- All living things are made up of cells.
- The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains DNA.
- The cell membrane is a thin wall surrounding the cell that allows useful substances to enter and forces out waste products.
- The cell wall provides support, structure, and protection for plant cells.
- Mitochondria are in both plant and animal cells and are known as the "powerhouse" of the cell because they convert food into usable energy.
- Ribosomes are found in both animal and plant cells and create proteins needed for the cell to function.
- Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. They store water, nutrients, chemicals, and waste.
- Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food for the plant through photosynthesis.
- Cytoplasm holds the parts of the cell in place and protects them from damage.
Differences between Animal and Plant Cells
- Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and larger vacuoles while animal cells do not.
- Both animal and plant cells have a cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes.
Cell Membrane
- The cell membrane allows some substances to enter the cell while blocking others, ensuring balance for the cell.
