Question

Write a paragraph using all the vocabulary terms from the lesson.

Word bank: cell, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplast, cytoplasm, mitochondria, nucleus, organelle, ribosomes, vacuoles

Answer 1

In a typical plant cell the cell membrane encloses the cytoplasm and regulates what enters and leaves, while an outer cell wall gives the cell rigid support; within the cytoplasm each organelle has a job—the nucleus holds genetic information, mitochondria produce energy, ribosomes assemble proteins, the chloroplast captures sunlight for photosynthesis, and vacuoles store water and nutrients.
