Plant cell

Plant cell parts include the following:

 Cell wall - Made of cellulose and provides a rigid barrier


 Cell membrane (plasma membrane) - A thin, flexible barrier that contains the cell
 Nucleus - Holds the DNA
 Endoplasmic reticulum - Makes proteins and lipids
 Golgi - Sorts and modifies proteins
 Chloroplast - Makes food through photosynthesis
 Mitochondria - Makes energy through cellular respiration
 Vacuole - Stores water and salts

Animal cell

Cell Parts and Functions


 Plant and animal cells contain subcellular structures called organelles.
 The nucleus contains all the DNA of a cell.
 Mitochondria release energy for the cell.
 The Golgi apparatus packages and distributes substances.
 Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance found inside all cells.

BACTERIAL CELL
In bacteria, the cell wall forms a rigid structure of uniform thickness around the
cell and is responsible for the characteristic shape of the cell (rod, coccus, or
spiral). Inside the cell wall (or rigid peptidoglycan layer) is the plasma
(cytoplasmic) membrane; this is usually closely apposed to the wall layer

Root hair cell.

Function of the root hair cell


Root hair cells are specialized. Their structure allows the plant to
absorb more water. They also allow a plant to take in the
minerals it needs to survive.
Properties
Root hair cells have a very large surface area due to them being very long and having
hair like projections. This allows more active transport of mineral ions to take place so
the plant is able to take in as many important mineral ions as possible e.g. nitrates.
Function of palisade cell

Palisade cells contain the largest number of chloroplasts per cell,


which makes them the primary site of photosynthesis in the
leaves of those plants that contain them, maximizing energy
transfer, and converting the energy in light to the chemical
energy of carbohydrates.
RED BLOOD CELL
1 Red blood cells are adapted for the transport of oxygen.
2 They are small and flexible so they can fit through narrow
vessels.
3 Have a bi-concave shape which maximises their surface area
to absorb oxygen.
4 Have a thin membrane so gases easily diffuse through.
5 Contain hemoglobin which binds to oxygen.
