Cell vs. virus: A battle for health [video]by Shannon Stiles Complete the tasks using the information from this video. Connect each science term with its function. cell membrane A thick flexible layer that surrounds and protects each cell. It decides what goes in and comes out of a cell. mitochondria Makes energy from oxygen and the electrons from our food. enzymes Attack the virus and chop it into pieces, then warns other cells about this invader. antibodies Proteins that will attack and kill the invading virus. nucleus Tells our cells how to make things that our bodies need to work correctly. ribosomes Reads directions from the nucleus to create an antibody using amino acids to fight the virus. gogli apparatus Packs things up and ships them out of the cell.
