Biology

Cell wall-The major function of the cell wall is to provide rigidity, tensile
strength, structural support, protection against mechanical stress and
infection. It also aids in diffusion of gases in and out of the cell.

Chloroplast-Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to


convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. The
entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green
chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.

Starch grain-Starch grains are used to store starch which will provide food
for the plant. Plants are made up of many cells that work together to form
tissues.

Nucleus-The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its


fully-enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell's
genetic material. This material is organized as DNA molecules, along with
a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes.

Vacuoles-Vacuoles store food molecules, water and salts.

Mitochondria-The main function of mitochondria is the production of


energy during the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via the
TCA Cycle (which is also as the Krebs Cycle and the Citric Acid Cycle).
That process is an important metabolic pathway

Cell membrane-he cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and


organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of
cells. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its
surroundings.

Cytoplasm- The jelly-like fluid that fills a cell is called cytoplasm. It is made
up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell
membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.
Glycogen granule- the major storage form of energy in animals is glycogen
stored in glycogen granues. therefore glycogen granues in muscle cell act
as stores of energy for the muscle cells which require alot of energy to
perform their functions.
