The mitochondria would be like the powerhouse. \nIn plant cells, chloroplasts perform photosynthesis (energy production).\n\nThe chromosomes contain the DNA, which is all the genetic information, so that could be compared to blueprints, a library, etc. \n\nVacuoles maintain homestasis so they help to protect, do maintenance, etc. \n\nGolgi bodies sort proteins, so they work to categorize, arrange, etc. \n\nthe E.R. fold proteins and lipids, making them like builders.\n\nThe cell membrane is the cell's protection, or security. \n\nLysosomes break down molecules, so they help clean up. \n\nHope theses ideas help you find the right direction.

The answer is (D) simple sugars.  However, cells must break down glucose through cellular respiration (glycolysis or fermentation) to create ATP, which is the energy molecule used for cell processes.

the cell membrane is the outer part of the cell, its like the skin of it. it holds everything in the cell in place so it.

All human tissue and body parts are made of cells. They are the building blocks of all living creatures.

seperates the stuff it needs to keep in (DNA, nucleolus, microtubules) and the stuff it needs to keep out, out (like other organelles, etc).  It may also have a function in the earlier stages of meiosis (pre-prophase)

Your body is made up of proteins. Fats and sugars are used to fuel your body. You eat them, and whatever you eat that is not a sugar or a fat can be transformed into one by your body. Usually, proteins are broken into its constituents amino acids and those are used to build new proteins.\n\nThen there are RNA molecules, which act as blueprints for your proteins. Each RNA contains the orders to create a certain protein (translation). Among these proteins are enzymes, that are proteins useful to create other proteins.\n\nIn turn, all these RNA molecules are created from your DNA (transcription). DNA is a very long molecule, and from segments of it the short RNA molecules can be created.\n\nSo DNA contains the information to make all the structural proteins in your body, and to make the enzymes that help build those proteins and that help put them in the right places.\n\nEach cell in your body has a copy of your complete DNA. That tells the cell what proteins to produce, where to put them, and what sort of production to emphasize for that particular cell.\n\nSo cells in the hair follicles are 'programmed' to produce hairs, while neurons are 'programmed' to produce electrical impulses and store a memory of them.\n\nHow does each cell know what it is supposed to do?\n\nEarly in development, when you're a zygote, your cells are not differentiated. Any cell can become any part of your body. Then, as they divide, their position in the ball of cells formed generates certain signals that activate or deactivate certain parts of the DNA.\n\nThe long DNA molecule is packed, meaning that some regions are left free to be transcribed (that is, to generate the RNAs that will generate the proteins from there), while others are tightly closed with proteins called histones (generated by the DNA itself, and acting according to the differentiation signal).\n\nThe undifferentiated cells are called "stem cells" and with the right signals can be turned into almost anything, from an eye cell to a neuron or a kidney cell. Once they become differentiated, they assume their role for themselves and all their descendants.\n\nDifferentiated cells only translate the relevant parts of their genetic code. In fact, all cells contain all the information and could potentially take on the role of any other cell, but that is prevented by the tight histone packing of certain segments of the DNA.\n\nIf a way were found to un-differentiate an already mature cell, whoever does it would become rich (that cell could be used to generate more and generate entire tissues or even organs to replace defective tissues and organs).\n\nI hope it's fairly clear.

A living cell (like a cell from the liver, lungs, brain, etc...) will die soon after it was removed from its original "place" (liver, lungs, brain, etc.) as it has no more nutrients-supply (by blood venes, for example!) except it is kept in an artificial environment, a culture medium, which is suited to it's very specific needs.\n\nA living cell that is an organism needs a special suited environment, too (a diatom won't survive in the desert...). But it is not depending on an EXTERNAL supply of nutrients, as it "searches" its nutrients on its own. Bacteria, for example, don't need blood venes to grow in order to make cell division, they just need an environment which supplies all the needed nutrients. That's why bacteria can grow nearly everywhere, while lung cells  would die short after you dispersed them on an old dank sponge.\n\nHope I helped you. Excuse my English, please, it's not my first language. Good luck for tomorrow! ;-)

That depends on the type of cell and its function.

Both parents for the organisms that the cell is living in!\nIn order to be a functional cell, it needs 46 chromosomes.\n23 of them come from the organisms mother, and 23 from the organisms father.\n\nIt isn't talking about the organism this gamete may become, but rather the parents of the organism that the meiosis is going on in...

Cytoplasm is the area within the cell inside the plasma membrane (the membrane separate the cell to others) and outside the nucleus (the region contaning genetic materials DNA). Cytoplasm contains many internal organelles (internal structures) that are necessary for cell's functions.\nINternal organelles: Ribosome (needed to make proteins), Golgi complex, lysosomes (digest defective materials in cells, only found in animal cells),Endoplastic Reticulum (2 types: rough with ribosome attached and smooth without ribosome), central vacuole (store H2O, toxins, pigments, waste), Mitochondria (use to make energy for cell, mostly from glucose), chloroplast (needed for photosynthesis in plant cells only),cytoskeleton (connect organelles to each other and membrane, control cell movement, cilia and flagella (cell movements inside an organism).

All cells are semipermeable and depending on what passes into the cell, determines how the membrane responds to each substance. Glucose moves across the membrane, as do sodium and potassium.

Cell membrane? Structure is a phospholipid bi-layer. Function is semi-permeability, signaling/receptor, active/passive transport. This is all on wikipedia, by the way.
