A Tour of the Cell
Review
All

Cells are generally
microscopic,
which enables them to have a high

to facilitate the exchange of materials into and out of the cell.
All
cells
are bounded by a
membrane, and contain

, and a
semifluid
substance called the

cells have membrane-bound

animal
cells and
plant
cells.

ER, which contains

ER lacks ribosomes and are involved in
synthesis.
The

is the cell's "Shipping and Receiving Center".
The

), and breaks down damaged organelles by
(self
eating
).
The membrane-bound
organelles
involved in cellular transport form the

Plant cells contain a large
