Unit 1 (KA1) Cell Structure Flashcards
What it the function of the cell wall?
Supports and strengthens cell.
What is the function of the cell membrane?
Controls what substances enter and leave a cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
The fluid inside the cell membrane where many chemical reactions happen including fermentation.
