Cell Function
animal and plant cell organelle functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which part of the cell provides transportation for the ribosomes? | Endoplasmic reticulum |
| which part of the cell packages and ships materials for the cell? | Golgi body |
| Which part of the cell is the gate-keeper? | cell membrane |
| Which part of the cell is the storage house for materials? | vacuole |
| This part of the cell stores lots of genetic information; sometimes needs an interpreter | DNA |
| This part of the cell is the powerhouse. | mitochondria |
| This is the DNA's interpreter - reads the DNA messages. | RNA |
| This is the brain of the cell. | nucleus |
| This is the "brain of the brain" - helps to make RNA and directs the activities of the cell | nucleolus |
| This structure has different layers, is extremely strong, things must pass through, and is found only in plant cells. | cell wall |
| This stuff holds everything in place in the cell. | cytoplasm |
| These structures make protein in the cell. Some are in the cytoplasm and some are on the ER. | ribosomes |
| Makes food for the plant cell through photosynthesis. | chloroplast |
| Helps break down large particles into smaller ones, and digests things for the cell. | lysosome |
| Helps divide an animal cell during mitosis, or cell division. | centrioles |
| made of DNA; passes traits on to offspring | chromosome |
| This cell is round | animal |
| This cell is square | plant |
| This is what we call all the structures inside a cell that help the cell survive | organelle |
| This cell contains a cell wall | plant |
| This cell has a larger vacuole | plant |
| This structure helps the cell keeps its shape and adds strength | cytoskeleton |
| This type of cell can make its own food | plant |
