3
Q
Function of cell membrane
A
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
4
Q
Function of nucleus
A
A large structure that contains genes that control the activities of the cell
5
Q
Function of cytoplasm
A
Jelly-like substance that fills the cell - many reactions take place here
6
Q
Function of mitochondria
A
Tiny structures where respiration takes place, releasing energy for cell processes
7
Q
Ribosomes
A
Where protein synthesis takes place
8
Q
Function of cell wall
A
Made of cellulose and is tough so that it can help support the shell and keep its place
9
Q
Function of central vacuole
A
Contains cell sap which helps keep the plant cell rigid
10
Q
Function of chloroplasts
