1. Animal and plant cell structures

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Animal cell : Animal cell : A cell type with nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and mitochondria.
  • Plant cell : Plant cell : A cell type that includes all animal-cell parts plus cell wall, chloroplasts, and vacuole.
  • Nucleus : Nucleus : The cell part that controls cell activities.
  • Mitochondria : Mitochondria : The cell part that releases energy during respiration.

Essential Points

  • Animal cells include nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and mitochondria.
  • Plant cells include everything in animal cells plus cell wall, chloroplasts, and vacuole.
  • Chloroplasts are found in plants only and carry out photosynthesis.
  • Nucleus controls the cell, while mitochondria are linked to energy release.
  • Vacuole is a plant-cell feature (not listed for animal cells).

Memory Hook

Plant = Animal + extras: wall + chloroplasts + vacuole.

Animal cell — key features?

Nucleus, cytoplasm, membrane, mitochondria.

Plant cell — extra structures?

Cell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole.

Mitochondria — role?

Releases energy during respiration.

Cell respiration — equation?

Glucose + oxygen → CO2 + water + energy.

Photosynthesis — equation?

CO2 + water + light + chlorophyll → glucose + O2.

States of matter — particle movement?

Increases with heat, solids fixed shape, gases no fixed shape or volume.
