Cytoplasm
Gel-like substance where most of the cell’s chemical reactions happen.
Nucleus
Organelle which contains the genetic material that controls the cell’s activities. It’s surrounded by it’s own membrane.
Chromosomes
Carry the genetic material (genes)
Mitochondria
Small organelles where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration take place.
Genes
Carry the genetic material. Control the activities in the cell by determining which proteins the cell can make
Ribosomes
Where the proteins are assembled
Enzymes
Control the chemical reactions that take place in the cytoplasm
Cell membrane
Surround the cell. Thin layer like a skin on the surface of the cell. Forms a boundary between the cytoplasm and the outside.
Partially permeable
Cell wall
Non living
Outside the cell membrane
Mainly made of cellulose
Cellulose
Tough material that helps the cell keep it’s shape and is the reason why the body of the plant has a fixed shape. Animal cells do not have a cell wall.
Vacuole
Filled with a watery liquid called cell sap, which is a store of dissolved sugars, mineral ions and other solutes. Animal cells contain vacuoles but only small, temporary structures.
Chloroplast
Absorb light energy to make food int he process of photosynthesis they contain chlorophyll
Chlorophyll
Green pigment, cells from the parts of a plant which are not green, such as flowers, roots and woody stems, have no chloroplasts.
Catalysts
A chemical which speeds up a reaction without being used up itself.
Two fundamental classifications of cells
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells don’t have a nucleus and are much smaller than eukaryotic cells.

SPECIES
All of the parts of a plant cell
Cell wall, cell membrane, vacuole, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplasts, nucleus
All of the parts of an animal cell
Nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria, cytoplasm
Movement
By the action of muscles in animals and the slow growth movements in plants
Respiration
Release energy from their food
Sensitivity
To respond to stimuli and changes in their surroundings
Growth
Increase in size and complexity, using materials from their food
Reproduction
Produce offspring
