Eukaryotic cells carry out diverse metabolic processes within specialized subcellular structures.
Match each Description with its correct cellular Process, and match each Process with the Structure where it takes place.
| Description | Process | Structure | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| synthesising proteins from amino acids | structural support | mitochondria | ||
| providing structural strength and supporting the cell | protein synthesis | ribosomes | ||
| releasing energy from glucose using oxygen | aerobic respiration | cell wall |
Complete the word equation for photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide+‾⟶glucose+‾ \text{carbon dioxide} + \text{\underline{\hspace{3cm}}} \longrightarrow \text{glucose} + \text{\underline{\hspace{3cm}}} carbon dioxide+⟶glucose+Plant cells and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells. They share many structural features but also have key differences.
Give one subcellular structure found in both plant and animal cells, and one subcellular structure found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
