CELL STRUCTURES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
I. INTRODUCTION
The cell is the basic unit of life. The cells in the human body provide structure for the
body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out
specific functions. Cells also contain the body’s genetic material and can make copies of
themselves.

_False_ 5. Cells that have no membrane-bound organelles are called eukaryotic cells.
B. Completion
Complete each sentence or statement.
8. During cell division, chromatin condenses into thick rod-like structures called
__Chromosomes________, which become visible with a light microscope.
