This document provides an introduction to cell basics and cell parts, including the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, and mitochondrion. It asks the reader to match each organelle with its function, such as the nucleus controlling inheritance, ribosomes storing proteins, and the mitochondrion being the site of respiration. Additional online resources are provided for pictures of cells and more information about cells.
