2.2 describe cell structures, including the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplast and vacuole

Animal cell
- nucleus in the centre
- surrounded by cytoplasm
- around the outside edge is the cells membrane (animal cells do not have cell walls)


Plant cell
- vacuole in the centre
- surrounded by cytoplasm - within this is the nucleus and chloroplasts
- surrounding this is the cell membrane
- around the cell membrane is the cell wall

(NOTE: plant cells have 3 extra things that animal cells do not... a vacuole, chloroplasts, a cell wall)

both cells have a membrane on the outside, and cytoplasm and a nucleus inside. In the plant only are the cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplast.
