Cells
The purpose of all cells is to produce what?
Proteins
How is the nucleus like the brain of the cell?
It stores information and makes decisions for the entire cell.
What is the difference between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Rough has ribosomes and smooth does not
This term means "before the nucleus" and describes many bacteria cells.
Prokaryote
Theodore Schwann was one of the first scientists to observe these types of cells.
Animal cells
All cells feature genetic material, in what form is genetic material stored?

Golgi Apparatus
or the cell membrane

The eye piece lens or ocular lens
Why are chloroplasts green?
In order to absorb the right amount (and type) of solar energy to complete photosynthesis
