Q

What are three parts of the cell theory?

A
  1. All living things have one or more cells
  2. All life functions occur within cells
  3. All cells come from preexisting cells
17
Q

Differences between a plant and animal cell?

A
  • Plant cells contain: Plastids, Cell wall, large central vacuole and a Chloroplast
  • Animal cells contain: Lysosomes
18
Q

What is the main role of a cell wall?

A

It helps support and protect the cell - also gives the cell its shape

19
Q

What does it mean when an organelle is folded? How does that help the cell?

A

It increases surface area inside the organelle and creates more space for reactions to occur and get more work done faster.
