Cell Structure
Many cells combine to form the skin of an onion
Each organelle within a cell performs a specific function. In all eukaryotic cells, the organelles work together to help the cell function. Plant cells and animal cells contain many similar organelles, but they also have several differences. Single-celled organisms must perform the same functions that multicellular organisms perform. Instead of organ systems, the organelles in unicellular organisms work together to perform those functions and to maintain homeostasis.
Did you save the list you filled out in the Warm-Up activity? Please review the list you created that documented the differences between plant and animal cells. What would you correct on your list now that you have completed the topic?
