What is osmosis?
These tiny structures inside the cells perform specific jobs such as producing energy or making proteins.
What are organelles?
This structure acts like the cell's shipping center by modifying and packaging proteins.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
These specialized cells carry oxygen throughout the body.
What are red blood cells?
The stomach and intestines are part of this body system.
