Objectives Explain that living things are made of cells that carry out life functions and undergo cell division. Identify major cell structures (cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, chloroplast, vacuole, and mitochondria) and describe the primary functions of these structures. Recognize that cell walls and chloroplasts differentiate plant cells from animal cells . Explain how chemicals move in and of the cells. Investigate the factors affecting the growth of cells. 2
