Sure! Below are the responses that should be inserted into the appropriate locations of the statements:
- organelles
- nucleus
- membrane
- mitochondria
- vacuole
- cell wall
- photosynthesis
- chloroplasts
- cell membrane
Here’s how the completed text would look:
Within eukaryotic cells, special structures called organelles are responsible for different functions that keep the cell alive. Each cell contains a nucleus, which is responsible for housing genetic material that controls the activities of the cell. The cell membrane forms the boundary that controls what enters and leaves both the plant and animal cell. The mitochondria structures help the cell to function because they break down glucose, also known as sugar, to provide the cell with energy. The vacuole is a structure that allows the cell to store things like food and waste. It is much larger in the plant cell due to the cell wall making it difficult to move materials into and out of the cell. The plant cell also contains chloroplasts, which are structures that are not found in the animal cell. This is because they allow the plant cell to do photosynthesis and make its own food. The permeable cell membrane in the animal cell is not covered by a cell wall, so materials like food are easily transported into the cell.
