what parts are in an animal cell

cytoplasm
ribosomes
what parts are in a plant cell
nucleus
cell membrane
mitochondria
cytoplasm
ribosomes
chloroplasts
permanent vacuole
what is the function of the nucleus
to control all the activities of the cell and contains the genes
what is the function of the cytoplasm
where most of the chemical reactions take place and where organelles are suspended
what is the function of the cell membrane
controls the passage of substances into the cell and controls movement of substances out of the cell.
what is the function of the mitochondria
where aerobic respiration takes place, releasing energy for the cell
what is the function of the ribosomes
where protein synthesis takes place, making all the proteins needed in the cell
what is the function of the chloroplasts
contain chlorophyll which absorbs light so the plant can make food by photosynthesis
what is the function of the permanent vacuole
important to keep cells rigid to support the plant
