Cell Part Functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Thin layer around the cell which holds the cytoplasm and all the other organelles in place | Cell Membrane |
| Jellylike substances where molecules are broken down to produce energy amd other molecules are built up | Cytoplasm |
| The gatekeeper of the cell | Cell Membrane |
| Exports nutrients to other parts of the body and lets wastes and unwanted materials pass through to leave the cell | Cell Membrane |
| Provides the support, strength, and shape of cell | Cytoskeleton |
| Contains ribosomes, synthesizes macromolecules in the cell, separates molecules destined for the cytoplasm from those destined for other sites, transports proteins to various places in the cell | Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Synthesizes protein in the cell | Ribosome |
| Synthesizes lipids | Smooth ER |
| Flattened, slightly curved sacs | Golgi Apparatus |
| Collects, modifies, and packages substances manufactured by the cell, like proteins | Golgi Apparatus |
| Forms at the end of the Golgi Apparatus, stores and transports substances to various locations inside the cell | Vesicle |
| Contains digestive enzymes to break down worn-out organelles, debris, and indigestible particles | Lysosome |
| Powerhouse of the cell | Mitochondria |
| Double-membraned organelle that uses sugars and fatty acids to generate energy for the cell | Mitochondria |
| Self-replicating | Mitochondria |
| Pair of organelles that helps with cell division | Centriole |
