Organelles jobs

Question 1

Cell (plasma) Membrane

Answer 1

• Controls what goes in and out of the cell
• Critical for communication and maintaining a stable internal environment (homeostasis)

Question 2

Organelles

Answer 2

• Specialized structures within the cell that work together to help the cell function
• To make proteins

Question 3

Cytoskeleton

Answer 3

• Give the cell shape
• moves organelles around
• provide structural support for animal cells (who don’t have a wall)

Question 4
