Cell Theory

• Cells make up all life.
• Cells split into an exact replica of themselves to make new ones.
• Cells have homeostasis.

Organelles

Cell Wall

• The cell wall surrounds the cell membrane.
• The cell wall is a very tough, flexible and sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells.

Cell Membrane

• A cell membrane is like a cell's gatekeeper. It's the outer layer that surrounds a cell, letting substances in — or keeping them out.
• It controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.
• The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.

Vacuoles

• Vacuoles act like the brain of a cell.
• All plant and animal cells have vacuoles.
• Vacuoles are much larger in plant cells.

Cytoplasm

• Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills a cell.
• Scientists used to call the fluid protoplasm.

Nucleus

• Nucleus acts like the brain of the cell.
• It helps control eating, movement, and reproduction.

Chloroplasts
