Anatomy of a Cell

What is the function of a cell membrane?

• Holds organelles in place

• Has small openings that hold water.

• Carries signals from one cell to another.

• Allows certain things into and out of the cell.

How are organelles helpful to a cell?

• The parts require nutrients to work properly.

• Organelles increase the energy used by the cell.

• The function of a cell is controlled by genes.

• Each organelle performs a unique function.

In plants, how are chloroplasts and mitochondria related?

• 
  Chloroplasts manufacture food; mitochondria break down the food and convert it into energy.

• Chloroplasts package nutrients; mitochondria deliver the nutrients to other parts of the cell.

  
  

• Chloroplasts absorb water from the surrounding tissue; mitochondria store water.

• Chloroplasts direct the functions of the cell; mitochondria deliver messages to all parts of the cell.
