| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| storage units of cells, very larg in plants for holding water | Vacuoles |
| stiff fibers of cellulose, support and protect the plant | cell wall |
| membrane composed of thousands of pores that surrounds the nucleus | nuclear envelope |
| membrane enclosed structure in a cell that holds the cells genetic material (DNA); directs cell's activities | nucleus |
| modifies/packages molecule for export out of cell; it is near the cell membrane | golgi apparatus |
| network of protein filaments that help a cell maintain shape | cytoskeleton |
| protein factories of the cell; found free floating or attached to the ER | ribosomes |
| small, dense region within the nucleus where ribosomes are produced | nucleolus |
| material inside of the cell membrane but not the nucleus | cytoplasm |
| lipid bi-layer membrane that surrounds the cell | cell membrane |
| captures energy from the sun and converts it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis | chloroplast |
| contains enzymes for digesting or recycling molecules | lysosomes |
| membrane where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled; lacks ribosomes | smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
| membrane with ribosomes for making proteins | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. | mitochondrion |
