PASS
What are cells?—ANSWER-The smallest unit of life that can replicate
independently
What's another way of saying sub cellular structure?—ANSWER-Organelles
What's the function of the cell membrane?—ANSWER-To control which
substances can pass in and out of the cell
What's the function of the nucleus?—ANSWER-To contain the genetic
material / DNA
