?
what does the cell membrane do?
it separates the contents of the cell and its surroundings. It controls the movement of substances like oxygen, glucose and carbon dioxide into and out of the cell

what does the cytoplasm do?
Where many of the chemical reactions needed to carry out life processes take place. It also contains organelles

what does the nucleus do?
It is an organelle that contain s DNA, which is genetic material. The nucleus also controls all the activities of the cell

what does the mitochondria do?
It is an organelle in which respiration occurs. They are very tiny and cannot be seen easily through a light microscope at low magnification

what does the cell wall do?
It is made of tough cellulose to support the cell and allow it to keep its shape
5 of 10
what does the vacuole do?
It is a space in the cytoplasm that is filled with cell sap and helps to support the plant by keeping the cells rigid
