Cell Exam Study Guide
Directions: Using notes and your textbook (Chapter 15, pages 526- 572) to answer the following
questions in full sentences AND on separate sheets of paper.
Cell Theory: (pg 526 -533 and notes)
A. Define the term cell.
B. What things are made of cells?
Cell Organelles: (pgs 534-541 and notes)
C. What is the function of the following organelles?
Create the following chart on your paper and check the box if the organelle is present in both the
animal AND the plant cell.

P. Recreate the table below and define the function of each of the following systems.
System
Function
Digestive System
Respiratory System
Excretory System
Circulatory System
The circulatory, excretory, respiratory and digestive systems are all designed to help the cells get the
things it needs to make ENERGY or release the wastes from making ENERGY. Label the diagram
below to show the two things that the cells need to make energy and the two wastes released as a result
of making energy.
