A1: Describe the following:
Cell membrane: the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
Mitochondria: an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).
Ribosomes: Ribosomes are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. They are like construction guys who connect one amino acid at a time and build long chains. Ribosomesare special because they are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Vacuoles: Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuolesmight store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination
Lyosomes: an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
Nuclear Envelope: A nuclear membrane, also known as thenuclear envelope, nucleolemma or karyotheca, is the double lipid bilayermembrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells. Thenuclear membrane consists of two lipid bilayers—the inner nuclear membrane, and the outer nuclear membrane
Nucleus: the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
Chromosomes: Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Eachchromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from parents to offspring, DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique.
Cell Wall: A cell wall is a structural layer that surrounds some types of cells, situated outside the cellmembrane. It can be tough, flexible and sometimes rigid and functions to provides ells with structural support and protection and to act as a filtering mechanism.
Chloroplast: Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis.Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.
Cytoplasm: Cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus.
A2: Identify the functional interrelationships of cell structures
The presence of cells can mark the boundary between what is living and what is not. Each cell has many small bodies called organelles. Each type of organelle has a specific structure and function, but they all work together to help the cell to function as a unit.
A3: Identify the cell structures in diagrams.

A4: The equation for cellular respiration
A5: Describe the following organelles.
Golgi Bodies: a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
Vesicles: In cell biology, a vesicle is a small structure within a cell, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer. Vesicles form naturally during the processes of secretion (exocytosis), uptake and transport of materials within the cytoplasm.
Cell membrane: the membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
