Allows materials to move in and out of the cell; thin and flexible

Q

What is the cytoplasm?

A

Gel-like fluid inside the cell where the organelles are found

Q

What is the function of the nucleus?

A

Brain of the cell; controls all cell functions

makes ribosomes

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Pathway that carries proteins to where they are needed

What is the function of the lysosome?

Clean up crew (break down old cell parts)

What are the functions of vacuoles?

store food, water, and wastes

What are the functions of chromosomes?

stores our genetic information; made from DNA; half from mom & half from dad
