Unit 2: Biochemistry & The Cell
Name:
Aim #13 Cell Organelles: How do cell organelles carry out the life functions of a cell?
Date:
A) CELL ORGANELLES: _______________________ structures that carry out the cell’s specific __________________________.
 Vary in size and shape and therefore vary in their function
 All organelles work together to help the cell maintain homeostasis by transporting materials, extracting energy from nutrients, building proteins,
disposing of waste and storing information
 Think of organ-elle to mean to “tiny organ”
