Function
“powerhouse” produces energy through cellular respiration that
fuels the cell’s activities
Breaks down old or unneeded parts of the cell
Monitors what enters and exits the cell
Help chromosomes move during cellular division
Aids in packaging and distributing proteins
Transports proteins that are made by ribosomes
Contains genetic information (DNA) that controls cell’s
activities
Makes the parts needed to build ribosomes

For the cell membrane, what is the difference between the basic and intermediate description?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable. Cytoplasm fills the cell.
For the mitochondria, what is the difference between the basic and advanced description?
The mitochondrion uses cellular respiration to change sugar and oxygen into energy for the cell.

For the cell wall, what is the difference between the basic and intermediate descriptions?
The cell wall is made of a molecule called cellulose and provides support and structure for the cell.
For the vacuole, what is the difference between the basic and intermediate descriptions?
The vacuole helps maintain the cell’s shape and stores nutrients and waste products.
For the chloroplast, what is the difference between the basic and advanced descriptions?
The chloroplast uses photosynthesis to change energy from the sun into bonds that hold together
sugar molecules.
iCell: Bacteria Cell
Use the iCell app to color code the cell below. Shade in the box with the matching color.
Name
Function
Nucleoid
Contains the cell’s genetic material (DNA)
Small, extra piece of circular DNA found in some bacteria
Plasmid
Flagella
Cellular
membrane
Cytoplasm
Whip-like tail that helps bacteria move
Controls entry into and out of the cell
Fluid that fills the bacteria
For the plasmid, what is the difference between the basic and intermediate description?
Plasmids help determine the bacteria’s functions, such as causing disease.
How is the nucleoid in a bacteria cell different from the nucleus in a plant or animal cell?
It is not enclosed by a membrane.
