contains the instructions for everything the cell does

Front

What is the function of the cell (plasma) membrane?

Back

protects the cell and regulates interactions between the cell and its environment (allows things in and out)

What is the function of the mitochondrion?

Back

organelle that breaks down sugar to release the energy in it

Front

What is the function of the chloroplast?

Back

uses light energy to make sugar from carbon dioxide and water

Front

What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

tough, rigid covering that protects the cell and gives it shape

Front

What is the function of the nuclear membrane?

Back

separates the nuclear contents from the rest of the cell

Front

What is the function of the lysosome?

Back

contain digestive chemicals that help break down food molecules, cell wastes, and worn-out cell parts.
