2. What do you need to know?

3. Can you label the different parts of the cell?

4. cell membrane mitochondrion nucleus cytoplasm
Label this typical animal cell with the following structures:
cell membrane mitochondrion nucleus cytoplasm
cytoplasm
nucleus
cell membrane
mitochondrion

5. Label this typical plant cell with the following structures:
cell membrane mitochondrion chloroplast  vacuole nucleus cytoplasm cell wall
mitochondrion
cytoplasm
chloroplast
vacuole
nucleus
cell membrane
cell wall

6. What does each part of the cell do?
Use the information on page 10 to complete your table

7. Plant Cells v Animal Cells
Plants and animals consist of different types of cell that work together.
Animal and plant cells have certain structures in common.
Many cells are specialised and are adapted for their function.
Use the pictures on p10 to make a table of what they have the same / what is different

8. answers
Differences Plant cells have a vacuole Plant cells have chloroplasts Plant cells have a cell wall Similarities They have a nucleus They have cytoplasm They have a cell membrane

9. What do all the parts do? Structure Function Cytoplasm
Where most of the chemical reactions happen
Nucleus
Contains genetic material which controls the cell’s activities
Cell membrane
Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell
Mitochondria
Where most energy is released in respiration

10. plant cells only Structure Function Chloroplasts
Absorb light energy for photosynthesis
Cell wall
Strengthens the cell and supports the plant
Permanent vacuole
Filled with cell sap to help keep the cell turgid
