Has a membrane with pores, or openings, to allow certain materials to pass in or out
Sends signals to all other parts of the cell with instructions
nucleus

24. What is inside an animal cell?
Mitochondria:
Oval, membrane- covered organelle
Supplies energy for the cell
Tiny power plant
Break down food, which releases energy for the cell
Some cells use more energy than others
Cells requiring more energy usually have many mitochondria
mitochondria

25. What is inside an animal cell?
Vacuole:
Used for storage
Stores water, food, and wastes
Nucleus can signal the vacuole to release whatever it is storing
Some animal cells have small vacuoles
Some animal cells may not have any vacuoles
vacuoles
