| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Controls the cell's activities |
| Ribosomes | Produce proteins; found on Rough E. R. |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (S.E.R.) | Produces fats (lipids) for the cells |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (R.E.R) | Contains ribosomes; produces and packages proteins for the cell |
| Mitochondria | Produce energy for the cell |
| Cell Membrane | Regulates materials entering and exiting the cell; also called the plasma membrane |
| Cell Wall | Only found in plant cells; provides stucture and support for the cell |
| Chloroplast | only found in plant cells, traps sunlight to make food (sugar) |
| Vacuole | Storage unit for the cell |
| Cytoplasm | Gel-like fluid that contains all of the cell's organelles |
| Organelles | Membrane bound structures in the cell |
| Eukaryote | A cell that has a nucleus and organelles |
| Prokaryote | A cell that does not have a nucleus or organelles |
| Golgi Body (Apparatus) | Transports proteins and other materials in the cell |
| Plant Cell | A eukaryotic cell that is square shaped and contains a cell wall and chloroplast |
| Animal Cell | A eukaryotic cell that is round shaped and does not have a cell wall or chloroplast |
| Nucleolus | Contains the genetic information for a cell |
| DNA | DeoxyriboNucleicAcid; genetic information for the cell |
