Name: CELLS AND TISSUES: 3 Cells and Tissues Study Guide Period: The basic unit of structure and function in the human body is the cell. Each of a cell's parts, or organelles, as well as the entire cell, is organized to perform a specific function. Cells have the ability to metabolize, grow and reproduce, move, and respond to stimuli. The cells of the body differ in shape, size, and in specific roles in the body. Cells that are similar in structure and function form tissues, which, in turn, construct the various body organs. Activities in this chapter include questions relating to the structure and function of the generalized animal cell and to the general arrangement of tissues and their contribution to the activities of the various body organs. Anatomy of a Generalized Cell 1. Correctly label all of the cell structures and organelles in the figure. 1 Miss School, Miss Out
