ANIMAL & PLANT
Cells
A cell must:
Breathe
Nourish itself
Repair itself
Reproduce
Eliminate waste
Cells
The internal structures of a cell are called
organelles
Organelles of a plant cell (p.278)
Main parts
Cell membrane: (protects cell)
Cytoplasm: (allow flows, keeps
organelles in place)
Nucleus: (centre of cell, contains
chromosomes)
Vacuole: (stores nutrients & waste)
Endoplasmic reticulum: (cellular
transportation)
Mitochondrion: (produces energy, cell
respiration)
Cell wall: (support for cell)
Chloroplast: (for photosynthesis,
absorbs sunlight)

How cells work
Inputs : the things that enter the cell to make it work
(i.e. Water, nutrients, oxygen)
Outputs: Once the cell has used up its inputs it must
remove the waste (outputs)
Exchange between cells and their environment
The cell membrane makes sure only the correct
inputs enter the cell
The substances that enter the cell move in and out
via diffusion
Diffusion
Diffusion is when
particles swift
from a region
where they are
very
concentrated to a
region where
they are less
concentrated
Osmosis
Water enters the cell via
osmosis
The passage of water
across a membrane that
only allows certain
substance to pass
Basically it prevents high
concentration of solutes
to enter the cell
The vital functions of the cell
Plant cells
Animal cells:
Photosynthesis :
-
-
Take in carbon dioxide,
water,
solar energy (inputs)
Let out oxygen and
carbohydrates (outputs)
Cellular
respiration:
-oxygen, carbs
(inputs)
- carbon dioxide,
water, energy
(outputs)
