What does the nucleus do in an animal cell?

• The nucleus controls what the cell does and holds the cell's genetic material.

• The nucleus helps make proteins.

• The nucleus helps break down food.

• The nucleus makes energy for the cell.

Which part of the cell controls what can go in and out of the cell?

• Control center of the cell (Nucleus)

• Protein maker (Ribosome)

• Fluid inside the cell (Cytoplasm)

• Outer layer of the cell (Cell membrane)

What do mitochondria do in an animal cell?

• Mitochondria help the cell grow and divide.

• Mitochondria make proteins for the cell.
