All living things are made of multiple cells.

Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.

Cells can spontaneously generate from non-living matter.

All cells have a cell wall.

It is found in all types of cells.

It is made of cellulose in plant cells.

It is responsible for energy production.

It contains the cell's genetic material.

Plant cells have a cell wall, animal cells do not.

Animal cells have chloroplasts, plant cells do not.

Plant cells have mitochondria, animal cells do not.

Animal cells have a large central vacuole, plant cells do not.

Through photosynthesis

By cell division

By osmosis

Through fermentation

It produces energy for the cell.

It stores the cell's genetic information.

It synthesizes proteins.

It transports materials within the cell.

They provide structural support.

They perform specific tasks to maintain cell health.

They store waste products.

They prevent the cell from dividing.

Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus, eukaryotic cells do not.

Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, prokaryotic cells do not.

Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic cells lack ribosomes, prokaryotic cells have them.
