| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell Membrane | To keep the cell and it's environment separate. To allow things in and out of the cell. It is the cells boundary. |
| Cytoplasm | Gel-like liquid. To hold or support the structures and/or to move structures material through the cell by streaming. |
| Nucleus | Direct all the activities of the cell. It IS NOT the nucleus of an atom. |
| Mitochondrion | Breaks down cell food to release energy to use in cell. Like a power house. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (er) | A path to help move things from the nucleus to the edges of the cell. Like a highway. |
| Ribosome | Makes proteins. It is found on the ER. |
| Golgi Bodies | Packages proteins and other things cells make. Begins the process of moving things out of the cell. |
| Vacuole | It stores things in the cell. Like sacs. They are made up of Golgi Bodies. |
| Lysosome | It digests waste and worn out cell parts. The bits are used to make new things in a cell. Lysosomes are recyclers. |
| Cell Wall | The outside of the cell membrane. It protects and supports the cell. ONLY FOUND IN PLANTS. |
| Chloroplast | Changes light energy into chemical energy, in the form of sugar or starch. They always have a color and most of them are green. ONLY FOUND IN PLANTS. |
| Cytoskeleton | The Cytoplasm contains the Cytoskeleton, solid and hollow tubes that helps cells keep their shape, change their shape, or, in some cases move. |
