Answer 4

Made of mainly lipids and proteins
It regulates the movement of substances in and out the cell
It has receptor molecules that allow it to respond to chemicals

Question 5

What is the description and function of a nucleus

Answer 5

It has a nuclear envelope ( double memb )
This contains pores
It has a nucleolus
The nucleus controls the cells activities
Contains DNA

Answer 6

Oval shaped
Double membrane - the inner memb is folded to form cristae and inside is the matrix which contains enzymes involved in respiration
Mitochondria is the site of respiration and where ATP is produced

Question 7

Structure and function of chloroplast

Answer 7

Small flattened structure surrounded by double memb and has membranes inside called thylakoids. These are stacked up to form grana which are linked together by lamalle
