| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| All living things are made of | one or more cells |
| cells | the basic unit of function and structure in living things |
| All cells come from | other living things |
| cell wall | a stiff structure outside the cell membrane in a plant |
| cellulose | a cell wall in a plant is made of |
| cell membrane | controls what substances go in and out of a cell |
| food and water | enters through the cell membrane |
| leaves through the cell membrane | waste |
| nucleus | the control center of the cell |
| the nucleus | directs all the activities of the cell |
| nuclear membrane | protects the nucleus |
| prokaryotes | do not have a nucleus |
| eukaryotes | have a nucleus |
| chromatin and chromosomes | genetic material in the nucleus that directs functions of the cells |
| nucleolus make | ribosomes |
| vacuoles | large round water-filled sacs |
| plants wilt | when vacuole has no water |
| plant cells usually have | one big vacuole |
| lysosomes | breaks down large food particles into smaller ones and recycles old cell parts |
| cytoplasm | jelly-like substance that make up all living material in a cell except for the nucleus |
| organelles | tiny parts of a cell that have a special form and function |
| keeps harsh chemicals from escaping and breaking down cell | lysomes |
| found bewtween cell membrane and the nucleus | cytoplasm |
| builds and transports materials in a cell | organelles |
| mitochondria | provides energy in the cell |
| the powerhouse of the cell | mitochondria |
| mitochondria | many found in muscle cells |
| endoplasmic reticulum | a maze of pathways that carry protein |
| carries materials from one part of the cell to another | endoplasmic reticulum |
| ribosomes | small grain-like bodies attached to the endoplasmic reticulum |
| produces proteins | ribosomes |
| golgi bodies | flattened sections of sacs and tubes |
| receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum | golgi bodies |
| golgi bodies | packages new materials and distributes it to other parts of the cell |
| chloroplasts | capture energy from the sun and gives plants their green color |
| produces food for cells | chloroplasts |
