What do Animal cells have?
Nucleus, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, Mitochondria.
What does a Nucleus Do?
This Contains The Cells Genetic Material and is Needed to Make New Cells.
What does a Cell Membrane do?
This is a barrier around the cell and it controls what can come in and out of the cell.
What does Cytoplasm do?
This is a jelly like substance where the chemical reactions in a cell takes place.
What does a mitochondria do?
This is where respiration takes place .
What do Plant cells have?

What does the cell wall do?
This strengthens the cell and provides support.It is made of a tough fiber called cellulose, which makes the wall rigid

What adaptations do red blood cells have?
They have disc like shapes that increase their surface area.
What do sperm cells do?
They carry male genetic material.
What adaptations do sperm cells have?
They have a streamlined head and a long tail.
What do leaf cells do?
They carry out photosynthesis.
What adaptations do leaf cells have?
They are long and thin and packed with chloroplast.
What do root hair cells do?
They absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
What adaptations do root hair cells have?
They have a large surface area for absorbing water and nutrients.
What is a unicellular organism?
An organism that is made up of just one cell.
Where can amoebas be found?
In fresh water, salt water, wet soil and inside animals
What is in an amoebas?
