a. organelles. there are many small structures located inside the cell. these structures are called organelles, which means “little organs”. these tiny structures perform certain functions that keep the cell (and the organism) alive. some organelles are found only in animal cells and others are located only in plant cells. most organelles, however, are found in both plant and animal cells (figure 5 - 1).
review questions

1. the small structures located inside the cell are called
2. list six organelles found in both plant and animal cells.

Explanation:

1. The text clearly states that the small structures inside the cell are called organelles.
2. By examining the diagram of animal and plant cells, we can identify common organelles such as the nucleus, which contains genetic material; mitochondria, which are the power - houses of the cell; ribosomes, which are involved in protein synthesis; the endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in lipid and protein production; the Golgi complex, which modifies, sorts and packages proteins; and the cytoplasm, which is the fluid that contains all organelles and cell parts.

Answer:

1. Organelles
2. Nucleus, Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, Cytoplasm
