Answers to Cell Review



Please look above... you need to know everything except lysosomes.

1. A cell is the building block of life. Cells are the smallest unit of life. Some animals and plants can be uni-cellular--made of only one cell. Other cells that make bigger plants and animals (like us), attach to each other and build animals or plants by joining each other.

2. The two types of cells are plant cells and animal cells.

3. See the picture above so you know what parts to label. You need to label a plant cell. You should know these parts: cell wall, cell membrane, vacuole, ribosome, nucleus, nucleolus, chloroplasts, endoplasmic recticulum, golgi apparatus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria.

4. Here are what the parts do:
Cell wall: Protects the cell and gives the cell and plant structure
vacuole: Stores water and helps give the cell shape
nucleus and nucleolus: Holds DNA information and directs and manages the cell. (It tells the cell what to do.)
chloroplasts: where photosynthesis occurs
ribosomes: hold protein in the cell
mitochondria: supplies energy for the cell
