In a dice that is 1 cm3
We could fit __________________cells
Two categories of cells
1. Prokaryotic Cells
pro = __________; karyon = ___________________________

Ex: __________________
2. Eukaryotic Cells
eu = ___________; karyon = ___________________________
contain a _____________________ that have specific functions
Ex: : ______________________________________________

 Function: to modify, sort and package materials
from the ER for storage or to be transported
outside the cell.

the cell and provides protection and support
CENTRIOLES
 Found: Within the cytoplasm, only in
animal cells
 Structure:__________________________
_____________________________________
 Function: Help organize the cell during cell
during division.
