Cell Organelles and Function

What is cytoplasm?

• The jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles.

• A type of organelle responsible for energy production.

• The outer membrane of the cell that protects it from the environment.

• A structure that carries genetic information within the cell.

What are the differences between plant and animal cells?

• Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts; animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts; plant cells do not.

• Both plant and animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts.

• Plant cells are smaller than animal cells.

What is the function of the cell wall?

• To provide structure and support to plant cells.

• To regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• To store genetic information.

• To produce energy for the cell.
