| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell Membrane | One function is to keep the cell and it"s environment separate. ( The cell membrane is the boundary layer between a cell and it's environment.) Another function of a cell membrane is to allow things in or out the cell. Plant and Animal |
| Cytoplasm | Is to suspend strucructures (hold them up) and/or move structures and material throughout the cell by Cytoplasmic Streaming Plant and Animal |
| Nucleus | Is to direct all of the activities of the cell. (it is located in the center of the cell and has Chromosomes on it.) ( don't confuse it with the nucleus of an atom.) Organelles |
| Mitochondrion | Is to break down "cell food" to release energy for use in the cells. (It's nickname is "power house" of the cell. ( Mitochondria is plural. Organelles |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum ( ER ) | Is to be a path to help move things from the nucleusto the edges of the cell. It is like a highway in the cell's. ( through the cytoplasm) Organelles |
| Ribosome | Is to make proteins. ( It is found in the ER or floating in the cytoplasm) Organelles |
| Golgi Bodies | Is to package proteins and other things cells make ) and begin the process of moving proteins ( and other thing cells make ) out of the cell. Organelles |
| Vacuole | Is to store thing in the cell. ( they are like sacs that different stuff is packaged into. ) Vacuoles are made by the Golgi Bodies. Organelles |
| Lysosome | Is to " digest " waste and worn out cell parts. ( The digested bits are used to make new things in the cell. Lysosomes are recyclers.) Organelles |
| Cell Wall | ( The Cell wallis just outside of the cell membrane.) It's function is to protect and support the cell. Plant |
| Chloroplast | Is to change light energy into chemical energy, in the form of sugar or starch. Chloroplasts always have a color and most of them are green. Organelles |
| Cytoskeleton | Contains the cytoskeleton, solid and hollow tubes that helps cells keep thier shape, change thier shape, or, in some cases move. Animal |
