Cell Facts 101!
What are the different parts of the cell called?
Organelles
What is the function of the nucleus?
The control center of the cell
Where is the nucleus often found?
In the center of the cell
Which type of cell has a cell wall?
a plant cell
What are all living things made up of?
Cells
What organelle is responsible for providing energy to the cell?
Mitochondria
What is the function of the cell membrane
It let's good things such as nutrients in and bad things such as waste out
Where is the cell wall found?
On the outside- bordering the cell membrane
What is the difference between vacuoles in a plant cell vs. an animal cell?
A plant cell has 1 large vacuole and animal cells have several smaller vacuoles

Why don't animal cells require a cell wall?
