Cell organelles
Question | Answer |
---|---|
The large organelle that contains the genetic material. | Nucleus |
The structure within the nucleus of a cell that makes ribosomes. | Nucleolus |
The cell's outer part that is made up of two layers of phospholipids with embedded proteins. It regulates what enters and leaves the cell. | Cell membrane |
Flattened tubules located close to the nucleus, with ribosomes on the surface. It functions to produce proteins. | Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
Flattened tubules located close to the nucleus, It functions to produce lipids. | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage and transport out of the cell. | Golgi apparatus |
A small cell part that serves as the site of protein synthesis. | Ribosome |
This organelle provides the site for the production of energy compounds, which fuel cellular processes. | Mitochondria |
Organelle containing enzymes used for digestion and removal of worn cell parts, food particles, viruses, and bacteria. | Lysosome |
This cylindrical-shaped organelle is only found in animal cells and is involved in cell division. | Centriole |
Contains chlorophyll, functions as the site of photosynthesis, found only in plants. | Chloroplast |
This structure's main role is to provide strength and protection. Animal cells do not have this. | Cell Wall |
The lattice or framework of a cell. It is composed of microtubules and microfilaments and is located within the cytoplasm. It aids in maintaining cell shape. | Cytoskeleton |
Plant cells contain this large structure that holds water, wastes, and nutrients. | Large central vacuole |
The portion of the cell that is gel-like, mostly water, contains the cytoskeleton and organelles | Cytoplasm |
