| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Organelle | A membrane-bound compartment or structure in a cell that performs a special function. |
| Cell Wall | Multi-layered, sturdy structure composed of cellulose that provides plants and other organisms with their rigidity. |
| Cytoskeleton | Network of microtubules that support and give structure to cell while aiding in intracellular transport. |
| Cell Membrane | A very thin membrane, composed of lipids and protein, that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell and controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell. |
| Nucleus | Spherical organelle that is the cell's control center. |
| Cytoplasm | Collective term for cytosol and all the organelles contained in it (outside the nucleus and within the plasma membrane). |
| Mitochondria | Genetically independent organelles that produce energy for the cells along their many internal folds, called cristae. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | The cell's highway transport system composed of tubes and membranes connected to the nuclear membrane and extending through the cytoplasm that is also utilized for storing and separating. |
| Ribosome | Extremely small grain-like organelle that provides the sites for protein synthesis (they may be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum). |
| Golgi Body | A netlike structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells (especially in those cells that produce secretions). |
| Chloroplast | Membrane-bound organelles containing chlorophyll that is found in photosynthetic organisms. |
| Vacuole | Membrane-bound organelles in the cytoplasm that are used for storage and digestion. |
| Lysosome | The digestive plants of food for the cell, changes shape from task to task. |
| Nucleolus | A small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase. |
| DNA | DNA which is an abbreviation for Deoxyribonucleic acid is an important substance of the human body which is responsible for the functioning of human bodys. |
