Parts of a Cell:
Animal Cell- Cytoplasm, Cell Membrane, Nucleus.
Plant Cell- Large Vacuole, Cell Wall, Cell Membrane, Chloroplast, Nucleus.
Jobs of the Organelle:
Cytoplasm- Cytoplasm contains molecules such as enzymes which are responsible for breaking down waste and also aid in metabolic activity. Cytoplasm is responsible for giving a cell its shape. It helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place.
Large Vacuole- Large central vacuole in plant cells is to provide structural support; however, it serves other functions such as protection, storage, growth and waste disposal.
Cell Wall- The cell wall is the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell. A major function of the cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure, and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane-The cell membrane is a thin flexible layer around the cells of all living things.. In all cells, the cell membrane separates the cytoplasm inside the cell from its surroundings.
Chloroplast- Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.
Nucleus- The main function of the cell nucleus is to control gene expression and mediate the replication of DNA during the cell cycle.
