Function

Controls what substances can get into and out of the cell.

Jelly-like substance, where chemical reactions happen.In plant cells there's a thin lining, whereas in animal cells most of the cell is cytoplasm.

Controls what happens inside the cell. Carries genetic information.

Where photosynthesis happens – chloroplasts contain a green substance called chlorophyll.

Contains a liquid called cell sap, which keeps the cell firm.

Made of a tough substance called cellulose, which supports the cell.
