Cells Revision

1) List 4 things found in both animal and plant cells.

2) Copy out each sentence in your book. Fill in the missing words from those in the box. Some words
can be used more then once.

Cellulose

microscope cells vacuole

selectively permeable
cytoplasm
chlorophyll nucleus
a) All living things are made of cells
b) Cells can only be seen through a microscope
c) Cell membranes let some substances go through and are selectively
permeable
d) All cells contain a clear liquid called cytoplasm in which
chemical reactions happen.
e) The clear liquid inside plant cells is found in the vacuole
f) Plant cells have a stiff wall made of cellulose.
g) The nucleus.. controls what happens in the cell.
3) Many cells have their own special jobs to do. Their size, shape and content are often different from
other cells, to enable them to do their job really efficiently. Link the specialised cell on the right to
its function on the left and then write the complete sentence in your book.

Specialised cell
Guard Cell
Root hair cell
Palisade Cell

Xylem Vessel

Function
Regulates water loss from a leaf
A large surface area for maximum
absorption of water and mineral ions into
the root

numbers of chloroplasts, often arranged
around the edge of the cell for maximum
absorption of light energy
Transport water through the stem and
root
