11. Under the microscope, a cell looks a lot like a fried egg: It has a white (the cytoplasm) that’s full of water and proteins to keep it fed, and a yolk (the nucleus) that holds all the genetic information that makes you you. The cytoplasm buzzes like a New York City street. It’s crammed full of molecules and vessels endlessly shuttling enzymes and sugars from one part of the cell to another, pumping water, nutrients, and oxygen in and out of the cell. All the while, little cytoplasmic factories work 24/7, cranking out sugars, fats, proteins, and energy to keep the whole thing running and feed the nucleus – the brains of the operation. Inside every nucleus within each cell in your body, there’s an identical copy of your entire genome. That genome tells cells when to grow and divide and makes sure they do their jobs, whether that’s controlling your heartbeat or helping your brain understand the words on this page.

14. Text-based answers SHIFT 4 Questions are purposefully planned & direct students to closely examine the text

15. Pre-ccls Science SHIFT 4 Text-based Answers Question: What is the material called inside the cell’s membrane?

16. Post-ccls Science SHIFT 4 Text-based Answers Question: Would the cell membrane be more like the liner of a swimming pool or the hard outer structure the liner is attached to? What evidence from the text supports your answer?
