Animal Cell

What are the parts of an animal cell?

Nucleus

Cytoplasm

Cell
Membrane

Vacuoles

What is/are the function/s of the part?

Controls
chemical
activities
within the cell
Contains
genetic
information

Jelly-like
substance
which
supports
organelles
Site of
chemical
reactions

Partially
permeable
membrane
which
controls the
movement of
substances
into and out
of the cell

Small and
numerous
Stores air,
liquid or food
for the cell

What would happen if the parts were missing?

The cell
activities
would not
function
properly
Genes cannot
be passed on
to the next
generation

Positions of
organelles will
be mixed up
Chemical
reactions
cannot take
place and cell
will die

Harmful
substances
might enter
the cell and
poison the
cell
Useful
substances
might leave
the cell,
causing it to
die

No storage of
useful
substances for
survival, cell
will die

Plant Cell

What are the parts of a plant cell?

Nucleus

Cytoplasm

Cell
Membrane

Vacuole

Cellulose
Cell Wall

Chloroplast

What is/are the function/s of the part?

Controls
chemical
activities
within the
cell
Contains
genetic
informatio
n

Jelly-like
substance
which
supports
organelles
Site of
chemical
reactions

Partially
permeable
membrane
which
controls
the
movement
of
substances
into and
out of the
cell

Large and
single
Stores cell
sap which
keeps the
cell firm
(turgid)

Fully
permeable
Gives the
cell a
regular
shape
Supports
the cell

Contains
chlorophyll
which
absorbs
light
required
for
photosynt
hesis

What would happen if the parts were missing?

The cell
activities
would not
function
properly
Genes
cannot be
passed on
to the next
generation

Positions
of

mixed up

take place
and cell
will die

Harmful
substances
might
enter the
cell and
poison the
cell
Useful
substances
might
leave the
cell,
causing it
to die

Cell will
not have
support
and
become
flaccid

The plant
will not be
able to
stand and
support
the other
structures
like leaves,
stem and
roots

Photosynt
hesis
cannot
occur,
plant has
no food
and will
die
