Cell Questions

1. Living things must: respond to their environment, living things need energy, living things grow, living things reproduce and living things must get rid of wastes. Living things must also have cells.

2. Because single cells do 5 out of the 6 things that classify if something is living. They just don't need cells because they are a cell.

3. Plant cells:
mitochondrion=are the energy producers in cells

cytoplasm=the jelly like substance inside each cell that contains organelles water and other life supporting things,

ndoplasmic reticulum=a network of membrane covered tubes. Ribosomes attach themselves to this.

chloroplast=traps the energy of the sun and changes it into chemical energy. this is in plants only.

ribosomes=the part of the cell that assembles the proteins. Its sort of like a small factor that builds protein.

Golgi body=it sorts the proteins and jam packs them into membrane wrapped structures.

cell wall= the tough structure that surrounds the cell membrane and gives it a box like shape.

cell membrane=the thin covering for each cell

nucleus=the central control of the cell. sort of like a "cell brain"

vacuole=they are temporary storage compartments that occasionally store waste.

Animal cells: Animal cells are basically the same as plant with the exceptions of animal cells do not have a cell wall nor chloroplast. But animal cells do have lysosome.

lysosome=the organelles that break down other busted organelles and turn them into wastes as well as turn food into waste.

technology

tech is the way of the future so preparing us for it is helpful, well used for learning and fun.
