===About Cells===
: '''Cells''' can be divided into two main groups [[Eukaryotic Cell]]s, which contain [[membrane]] bound [[organelle]]s, and [[Prokaryotic Cell]]s which do not contain [[membrane]] bound [[organelle]]s.
===About Cells===
: '''Cells''' cannot be seen with the naked eye. You need a [[microscope]] to see them.
: Every living thing is made of '''cells''' but not all '''cells''' are the same.
'''Cells''' are made of smaller parts:
*[[Cell Membrane]] - Controls what goes in and out of a cell.
*[[Cell Wall]] - Protects cell and keeps their shape.
*[[Chloroplast]]s - Produces food for a cell using photosynthesis.
*[[Cytoplasm]] - A jelly-like substance where chemical reactions take place.
*[[Mitochondria]] - Where respiration takes place.
*[[Nucleus]] - Controls the activities of the cell and contains the DNA.
*[[Permanent Vacuole]] - Stores cell sap.
*[[Ribosome]]s - The areas of [[Protein Synthesis|protein synthesis]] in the '''cells'''.
: [[Plant Cell]]s and [[Animal Cell]]s made of some different parts.
: All '''cells''' have [[cytoplasm]] and a [[cell membrane]]
: Both [[Animal Cell]]s and [[Plant Cell]]s have a [[nucleus]] and [[mitochondria]].
: Only [[Plant Cell]]s have [[chloroplast]]s, a [[Cell Wall|cell wall]] and a [[Permanent Vacuole|permanent vacuole]]
