Cell Concept Map

About this cell concept map

This concept map presents a structured overview of cellular architecture and functions, clearly differentiating plant cells and animal cells through interconnected relationships.

Core components include plant-exclusive structures and shared elements like cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm across both cell types. Organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, plus non-living granules in the cytoplasm, are highlighted. Connections depict composition, such as cell wall made of cellulose, cell membrane composed of proteins & lipids, and functional links.

Functional categories are spotlighted: energy metabolism, structural reinforcement, material storage, and genetic regulation.

As an essential resource for biology students and teachers, the map simplifies the comparison of plant and animal cell structures and their function, using color-coded pathways to untangle complex cellular relationships.
