Biology Mira Davis

Nucleus - The function of the nucleus is it contains genetic info and gives that info by producing nutrients. Control center of the cell.

Cell Membrane - Controls what enters and leaves the cell.

cytoplasm -jelly like material where most of the cell work takes place. it protects and supports organelles inside of the cell

mitochondrion - releases energy from food

endoplasmic reticulum - Transportation system that moves materials through the cell..

Golgi apparatus - To store and package proteins into membrane bound vessels

Lysosomes - breaks down nutrients into smaller parts

Chloroplast - traps sunlight for energy

Cell wall - Protects and supports the cell

Vacuole - stores foods and other materials for the cell and maintains pressure

What is the most basic unit of structure and function in all living things? - The cell.

2. **What is an organism?** -Any individual form of life that uses energy to carry its day to day activities

3. **What do all organisms need in order to live?** - Food, energy, water, and a living space

4. **What is a multicellular organism?** - A multicellular organism is made up of multiple cells that work together, often with specialized functions. - Characteristics include cells are specialized and have more than one level of organization (cells, tissues, organs). - Examples: Humans ,cats

5. **What is a unicellular organism?** - A unicellular has one level of organization and all functions needed for life one cell. - Examples: Bacteria

6. **What is a eukaryotic cell?** - A cell in which the genetic material is enclosed within a nucleus. Contains membrane bound organelles that do a specific job in the cell. Found mostly in multicellular organisms.. - Example: Dog cells liver cells.

7. **What is a prokaryotic cell?** - A cells that lacks a nucleus and other organelles with DNA found in cytoplasm, single celled organism. - Example: Bacterial cells.

8. **What is an organelle?** - An organelle is a specialized structure within a cell that performs specific functions.

9. **What type of organism, unicellular or multicellular, is made up of specialized cells?** - Multicellular organisms are made up of specialized cells that work together to perform complex functions.

10. **List the organelle(s) only found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell.** - Chloroplasts - Cell wall.and vacuole.

11. **Which organelle captures the energy from sunlight and uses it to make sugar or food? In which cell type is this cell part found?** - The chloroplast captures energy from sunlight and is found in plant cells.
