Animal Cell
What are the parts of an animal cell? Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Cell Membrane
Vacuoles
What is/are 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
Cellulose Cell Wall
Vacuole
Chloroplast
What is/are 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 single and 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 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
•
•
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
