What subcellular structure is a jelly-like substance where most chemical reactions happen and have enzymes that control the chemical reactions?
In the cytoplasm which is in both plant and animal cells.

What is the function of the cell membrane and cell wall?
The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell and holds it together. The cell wall which is only in the plant cell is made of cellulose and supports and strengthens the cell.

What is the function of a flagellum?
It is a long, hair-like structure that moves the bacteria away from harmful substances like toxins, towards more beneficial things like nutrients.
