parts of a cell
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Nucleus | brain of the cell, contains DNA, found in plant & animal cells |
mitochondria | converts food into energy, found in the cytoplasm in both plant & animal cells |
chloroplast | the green structure on a PLANT CELL that contains chlorophyll (green chemical) |
a maze of passage ways that transport materials through the cell found in both plant & animal cells | endoplasmic reticulum (e.r.) |
takes the stuff from the ER a 'packages' it, found in plant & animal cells | Golgi apparatus |
cell wall | thick layer of protection on the outside of a plant cell |
cell membrane | controls what comes in and out of plant & animal cells |
the clear areas in both plant & animal cells that contain stored food (not always in animal cells) | vacuole |
they produce proteins for both the plant & animal cells and are located on the ER | ribosome |
nucleolus | the structure inside the nucleus that produces ribosomes |
lysosome | breaks down waste from old ANIMAL CELL parts |
this is the thin, soft layer that surrounds the nucleus found in both plant & animal cells | nuclear membrane\envelope |
gel-like mixture in the plant & animal cells that has no job | cytoplasm |
chromosomes | the thread-like structures in the nucleus of plant & animal cells that is made of DNA |
genes | structures on the chromosomes that determine the plant or animal cell's activity |
