Cell Structure and Function Concepts

The video tutorial guides students through identifying various organelles in animal and plant cells using diagrams. It covers the structure and function of organelles like the cell membrane, rough and smooth ER, mitochondria, centrioles, ribosomes, microfilaments, Golgi apparatus, nucleolus, lysosomes, chromatin, and vacuoles. The tutorial also highlights the differences between animal and plant cells, such as the presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts in plant cells. Students are encouraged to study these diagrams to prepare for a quiz.

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

• To synthesize proteins

• To store genetic information

• To control the movement of substances in and out of the cell
