Animal and Plant Cells Most cells have some structures in
common, they have: A nucleus to control the cells activities.
Cytoplasm where many chemical reactions take place. A cell membrane
that controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell.
Mitochondria where energy is released during aerobic respiration.
Ribosomes where protein synthesis takes place. Plant cells also
have: A rigid cell wall made of cellulose for support. Chloroplasts
that contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis; the chloroplasts
absorb light energy to make food. A permanent vacuole containing
cell sap.

Specialist Cells There are many types of animal and plant cell.
The structure of the cell is linked to its function. If a cell has
many mitochondria t must need a lot of energy, e.g. muscle cell,
sperm cell. If a cell has many ribosomes it is making a lot of
protein, e.g. gland cells which produce enzymes. Cells with tails
are able to move, e.g. sperm cells Neurons are specialised to carry
impulses from receptors to the CNS. Plant cells with many
chloroplasts will be photosynthesising, e.g. mesophyll cells of a
leaf. Root hair cells increase the surface area of the root so that
it can absorb water and mineral ions efficiently.

Digestive System The digestive system is a muscular tube which
includes: Glands, such as the pancreas and salivary glands which
produce digestive juices. The stomach and small intestine where
digestion occurs. The liver which produces bile. The small
intestine where the absorption of soluble food occurs. The large
intestine where water is absorbed from the undigested food,
producing faeces.

Public attitudes toward stem cell research 2001-2004 NOTE:
Responses to: On the whole, how much do you favour or oppose
medical research that uses stem cells from human embryos? SOURCE:

Conclusion All living things are made up of cells. The
structures of different types of cells are related to their
functions. Animal cells and plant cells have features in common,
such as a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and
ribosomes. Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall, and often
have chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole. Bacterial and yeast
cells have different structures to animal and plant cells.
Dissolved substances pass into and out of cells by diffusion.
