    2. just plants
      1. cell wall
        1. strengthens cell
        2. chloroplasts
          1. contain chlorophyll which absorb light enegy for photosynthesis
          2. permanent vacuole
            1. filled with cell sap to keep the cell turgid
          3. animals and plants
            1. nucleus
              1. controlls cell activity, contains genetic info
              2. cytoplasm
                1. most chemical processes take place here controlled by enzymes
                2. cell membrane
                  1. controls movement of substances in and out of cells
                  2. mitochondria
                    1. most energy is released by respiration here
                    2. ribosomes
                      1. protein synthesis happens here
                    3. microscopes

                              1. electric microscopes magnify x 2 million
                                1. length of object = length of magnified object / magnification
                              2. all have a nucleus, cell membrane cytoplasm, mitochondria, and ribosoms
