 cytoplasm
reticulum
 golgi apparatus
 vacuole
3. Compare and contrast what plant cells, animal cells and bacteria cells have different
and in common (organelles, cell type, shape, etc.)
4. Be able to label the structures and organelles of a plant and animal cell.
5. Describe the detailed structure of the cell membrane.
6. Describe the detailed function of the cell membrane. How does diffusion and osmosis
work?
7. What does it mean for a molecule to be permeable, impermeable and selectively
permeable?
8. What is the difference between passive and active cellular transport? When does a cell
perform each of these types of transportations?
9. Describe the condition of each type of solution listed below. Also be able to describe
what direction the water molecules are moving and what is happening to the shape
and structure of the cell:
- Isotonic Solution
- Hypotonic Solution
- Hypertonic Solution
