Practice and Revision - Cell and Cell Organelles
Let us practise and revise what we learned about cell and cell organelles. Cells are the basic units of life, containing organelles that per
Core concept
The nucleus controls cell activities and contains genetic material (DNA), acting as the cell's control centre.
How it works
Mitochondria are the 'powerhouses' of the cell, producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration for the cell's activities.
Why it matters
The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell, maintaining a boundary between the cell and its environment.
Key detail
Plant cells have additional structures like a cell wall (for support) and chloroplasts (for photosynthesis), not found in animal cells.
