A self-replicating unit that may exist as a functional
independent unit of life (as in the case of unicellular
organism), or as sub-unit in a multicellular organism (such
as in plants and animals) that is specialized into carrying
out particular functions towards the cause of the organism
as a whole.

6. +Roles of each structure in the cell
Structure Role
Nucleus Support the cell and keeps its shape.
Mitochondria Controls the activity of the cell.
Chloroplast Respiration occurs here releasing energy.
Ribosome Full of cell sap & maintains shape
Cell wall Controls the movement of substances in & out.
Vacuole Proteins are made (synthesised) here.
Cell membrane These is where many reactions take place.
Cytoplasm Light energy is absorbed & changed into food here.

10. Nucleus, which controls all the activities of the cell, also contains the
instructions for making new cells or new organisms.
Cytoplasm, a liquid gel in which most of the chemical reactions needed for
life takes place. One of the most important of these is respiration, where
oxygen and sugar react to release energy the cell needs.
Cell membrane controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
Mitochondria are structures in the cytoplasm where most of the energy is
released during respiration.
Ribosomes are where protein synthesis takes place. All the proteins
needed in the cell are made here.
Animal Cells
11. Plant Cells
All plant cells have the structures in an animal cell and:
Cell wall made of cellulose which strengthens the cell and
gives it support. Many, but not all, plant cells also have:
Chloroplasts, found in all the green parts of the plant. They
are green because they contain chlorophyll. They absorb
light energy to make food by photosynthesis.
Permanent vacuole is a space in the cytoplasm filled with
cell sap, which is important for keeping the cells rigid to
support the plant.
12. Chemical reactions that take place in cells are controlled by
enzymes. Each enzyme, which are proteins, typically control one
specific reaction.
Enzymes that control different functions are found in different
structures of a cell.
Mitochondria formed enzymes control respiration.
Chloroplasts form enzymes which control photosynthesis.
Protein synthesis enzymes are found on the surface of ribosomes.

Prokaryotes have a simple
structure and probably the first
life on Earth!
Eukaryotes probably evolved from
prokaryote cells around 1000
million years ago!
