Stores water, nutrients, and waste (large in plants)
What is cytoplasm?
Jelly-like fluid where chemical reactions occur
What does the cell membrane control?
Controls what enters and exits the cell
What is the function of the cell wall in plants?
Provides structure and support
What is the role of chloroplasts?
Photosynthesis – makes glucose
What does the centrosome do?
Helps in cell division (in animal cells)
What are microtubules?
Structural support, helps with movement
