Key Stage 3
Meaning
An animal cell is a cell that has a cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a nucleus.
About Animal Cells
- Animal cells do not have chloroplasts, a cell wall or a permanent vacuole.

Key Stage 4
Meaning
An animal cell is a eukaryotic cell that has a cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a nucleus but no cell wall.
About Animal Cells
- As eukaryotic cells animal cells contain membrane bound organelles, including a nucleus and several mitochondria.
- Animal cells can be distinguished from plant cells in that they do not have chloroplasts, a cell wall or a permanent vacuole.
