Cell PiecesJW
All of the cell
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Controls the cell. |
| Nucleolus | Makes ribosomes, maybe more than one in a cell, found in the nucleus. |
| Chromosomes | Determines what traits a living thing will have, passes information from parent to offspring. |
| Cell Membrane | Gives the cell shape, holds the cytoplasm, and controls what moves into and out of the cell. |
| Cytoplasm | Jellylike material (cytosol and organelles), most of the cell's chemical reactions take place there |
| Vacuoles | Liquid |
| Mitochondria | Produce energy when food is broken down, often called the "powerhouse of the cell". |
| Ribosomes | Where proteins are made, and often connected to the endoplasmic reticulum |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | The "transportation system" in the cell, connects the nuclear membrane with the cell membrane |
| Centrioles | Found only in animal cells, is used in cell reproduction to help the chromosomes arrange before cell division. |
| Cell Wall | Found only in plant cells. Forms a outer covering outside the cell membrane, gives the plant support and shape. |
| Chloroplasts | Found only in plant cells. Found in the cytoplasm of green plant cells, and is where photosynthesis takes place. |
| Lysosomes | digests food particles with enzymes, pinched of pieces of golgi apparatus |
| Golgi apparatus (bodies) | flat stacks, packages and secretes from cell. |
