study those organelles!
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cytoplasm | jelly-like substance that fills the cell |
| cell membrane | surrounds cell, controls what comes in and out |
| cytoskeleton | provides structure and support for cell |
| nucleus | boss of eukaryotic cells, contains the DNA |
| ribosomes | makes protein by linking amino acids |
| endoplasmic reticulum | rough and smooth, makes proteins and lipids |
| golgi apparatus | sorts, packages and ships out protein |
| vesicles | short-term storage sacs |
| vacuoles | long-term storage sacs |
| mitochondria | power-house, provides energy for the cell |
| lysosomes | clean-up crew, protects from invaders and uses digestive enzymes to remove dead organelles |
| chloroplasts | traps solar energy and converts to useable energy- plant cells only - it is green |
| cell wall | plant cells only- provides cell structure- surrounds cell membrane |
