Journey through a cell
Question | Answer |
---|---|
It stops the content of the cell from escaping.It is permeable and controls the passage of materials into and out of the cell. | Cell Membrane |
It is a jelly- like substance that fills the cell.It is made up of mostly water (~70%) and the rest being molecules of salts, sugars, fats, amino acids and proteins. | Cytoplasm |
Lying towards the middle of the cell, it is the most important part of the cell.It is the control center. It sends out messages to other parts of the cell, controlling the production of molecules. | Nucleus |
They are the ‘power stations’ of the cells. They are the sites of cellular respiration and produce nearly all the energy the cell requires to function. | Mitochondria |
They are the protein factories where the manufacturing of protein takes place. | Ribosomes |
It is the transportation network for the cell.It is made up of a network of tubes that criss -cross the cell. | Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) |
It sorts the proteins and packs them into membrane - wrapped structures | Golgi Body |
They carry proteins, nutrients and water into, out of, and around the inside of the cell. | Vesicles |
This structure helps support the plant. | Vacuoles |
These structures are responsible for breaking down waste materials, food particles and old and worn-out organelles within the cell. | Lysosome |
It is rigid and gives the cell a fixed shape. This structure is only found in plant cells. | Cell Wall |
These structures are usually disc-shaped. They contain the green pigment chlorophyll, and are involved in the process of photosynthesis. | Chloroplasts |
