A basic understanding of various organelles within a cell, their functions, and their roles in maintaining the life of an organism. Topics include the nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplast, mitochondrion, cell wall, cell membrane, vacuole, and more. Learn about the functions of each organelle and their significance in the context of the cell.

What you will learn

  • What is the function of the mitochondrion?
  • What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Cell wall Gives PLANT CELL its rigid shape, for protection and support Cell membrane Thin outer covering of a cell that lets nutrients and waste move in and out of a cell Vacuole Stores waste, water, and food in a cell Nuclear membrane A membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus Tissue Similar CELLS that work together to carry out a job

The Five Basic Life Functions

  1. Grow and develop
  2. Eat or make food
  3. Reproduce
  4. Respond to environment
  5. Get rid of wastes Needs of living things Food Water Shelter Oxygen
