| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ribosomes | where amino acids hook together to build proteins |
| Golgi complex (bodies, apparatus) | processes, packages, and stores fats and proteins produced by the endoplasmic reticulum ( ER ) |
| cytoplasm | watery fluid that fills the cell that the organelles are floating around in |
| nucleus | control center of the cell, stores DNA in the form of chromatin. Directs all the activities of the cell. |
| nucleolus | dark spot in the nucleus where ribosomes are made. |
| nuclear membrane | also known as the nuclear envelope |
| cell membrane | also called plasma membrane. It is a phospholipid bi-layer that controls movement in and out of the cell. |
| mitochondria | the powerhouse of the cell. The site of cellular respiration and where ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is made. |
| rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum) | transport system that produces proteins and is covered with ribosomes. |
| vacuole (small) | membrane enclosed structures that store materials such as water, starch, or fats. In animal cells, there are usually several small vacuoles. |
| central vacuole | membrane enclosed structure that stores materials such as water, starch, or fats. In plant cells there is usually one large vacuole. |
| cell wall | surrounds and protects the plant cell. Cell walls give the plant its characteristic shape. The cell wall of most plant and algae is made of cellulose. |
| chloroplast | found only in plant cells, it contains chlorophyll, a green pigment which absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis. |
| smooth ER (endoplasmic reticulum) | internal transport system that produces lipids (fats). |
| lysosomes | contains digestive enzymes that break down large molecules into smaller particles such as wastes, cell parts, or foreign invaders. Referred to as the garbage men of the cell. |
| centrioles | found only in animal cells. They form spindle fibers that help the chromosomes move during cell division. |
