Introduction into cells
LO: Plant cells and Animal cells

2
What are cells?
All living things are made up of cells.
Most cells are so small that you can only see them with a microscope.
Cells have different components and each performs its own function within the cell.
3
What’s in a cell?
Inside cells are various structures that are specialised to carry out a particular function. Both animal and plant cells have these components:
4
Organelles (cell parts)
Cell membrane – this surrounds the cell and allows nutrients to enter and waste to leave it.
Nucleus – this controls what happens in the cell. It contains DNA, the genetic information that cells need to grow and reproduce.
Cytoplasm – this is a jelly-like substance in which chemical reactions happen.
Mitochondria – these are the powerhouse of the cell. They are structures where respiration takes place.
5
How are plant and animal cells different?
Plant cells have a few extra parts:
Cell wall - this is an outer structure that surrounds the cell and gives it support.
Vacuole - this is a space within the cytoplasm of plant cells that contains sap.
Chloroplasts - these contain chlorophyll
