My name is James
And I love all cells
There’re animal and plant cells
‘N’ I think they’re swell!
Both types have a nucleus
That stores the DNA
It also helps to make protein
And control its ev’ry way.
Chloroplasts are clever
And only plant cells have ‘em
They help in photosynthesis
And the plant’ll die without ‘em!
Starch grains are very useful
And unique to only plants
The membrane decides what’s in and out
And helps both animals ‘n’ plants
Cytoplasm is jelly-like
And the site of all reactions
Now let’s move on to more cell parts
My favourite plan of action!
All plant cells have a wall
To help keep the cell’s structure
It also seems to save the cell
From a devastating fracture
The vacuole is vital
‘Cos it helps to keep its shape
It also has a special sap
And resembles a tiny grape!
