HOMEWORK – Study for Quiz (1-2)

(section 1-2)

Know the functions of the following organelles and structures:

Endoplasmic Reticulum – serves as the delivery system inside the cell

Chloroplasts – combine sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar (glucose)

Nucleus – Control center of the cell and stores the DNA

Mitochondria – release ATP energy from food through a process of cellular respiration

Cell Wall – rigid outer layer found around plant cells

Ribosomes – produces proteins for the cell

Cytoplasm – fluid found inside of cells that the other organelles float in

Understand the similarities and differences between plant cells and animal cells.
