Answer 7

Where protein synthesis takes place, making all the proteins needed in the cell

Question 8

What is the job of the cell wall (plant cells)

Answer 8

Made of cellulose, strengthens the cell and gives it support

Question 9

What is the job of chloroplasts (plant cells)

Answer 9

• Found in all the green parts of a plant, they are green because they contain a green substance called chlorophyll
