You can also click “More” under the video and look at the transcript if you need to.

1. What 3 things do all cells have in common?

2. Do plants and animals have eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells?

3. What does organelle mean? ________________ __________________

4. Where is the nucleolus and what does it make?

5. What is the difference between smooth and rough ER?

6. What is the name of the process that happens in the mitochondria?
