Helps you learn the cell functions in biology class.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Contains the majority of the cell's genetic information including DNA. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) SMOOTH | Makes Lipids and breaks down toxic chemicals from all parts of the cell. |
| Ribosome | Makes proteins for the cell, can be found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum |
| Mitochondria | "powerhouse" It uses chemical reactions to transfer energy.It breaks down sugar molecules to release energy, site of cellular respiration. |
| Cytoskeleton | Gives support and shape to the cell, made of proteins for |
| Cell Membrane | Controls which substances can pass through the cell. |
| Cell Wall | Rigid outer layer made of cellulose that supports and protects the cell . |
| Lysosomes | Digest foods.Digest molecules,old organelles and foreign substanes. |
| Vacuoles | Stores enzyme and waste products. Hold water and food also. |
| Vesicles | Stores and Transports substances from the Golgi Body to the cell membrane for export. "The UPS truck of the cell" |
| Chloroplast | chlorophyll a pigment that captures the sun's energy to produce glucose in a process called photosynthesis |
| Golgi Apparatus | Packages the proteins made by the ribosomes so they can be sent out of the cell. The UPS store of the cell |
| Cilia and Flagella | Helps the cell move through its environment. |
| Rough ER | Has ribosomes attached. Transports |
