Unit 1: Investigating Cell
Structures and Functions

Review

Cell Structures

●Organelle - Tiny cell parts that carry out specific functions in
the cell

●Cell Membrane – controls what comes in and out of the cell

●Cell Wall (plant only) – rigid layer surrounding a plant cell that
provides support, strength, and shape

●Nucleus – controls the activities of the cell

●Cytoplasm – thick gel-like fluid inside the cell between the
nucleus and the cell membrane

Cell Structures (cont.)

•Mitochondria – produces the energy needed for the
cell to carry out its functions

•Chloroplast (plant only) – contains chlorophyll and
makes food from sunlight

•Vacuole – the storage area of the cell

Levels of Organization

Levels of Organization

•Cell - The most basic unit of structure and function of all living
things

•Tissue - Groups of similar cells performing the same function

•Organ - A group of tissues that work together to perform a
specific function

•Organ System - A group of organs that work together to perform
a specific function

•Organism - A living individual that can reproduce, grow, and
maintain homeostasis
