| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| little cell structures that have specific functions | organelles |
| cell's security system | cell membrane |
| gel-like substance inside cell | cytoplasm |
| touch structure that surrounds and propects plant cells | cell wall |
| control center of cell | nucleus |
| green organelle | chloroplast |
| cell's energy dam | mitochondria |
| protein factories | ribosome |
| found in eukaryotes | organelles |
| surrounds and protects cell | cell membrane |
| where cell processes (chemical reactions) occur | cytoplasm |
| gives plant cells shape | cell wall |
| contains directions for entire cell | nucleus |
| in plant cells only | chloroplast |
| stores and releases cell's energy | mitochondria |
| make proteins | ribosome |
| controls what enters and exits cell | cell membrane |
| eighty percent water | cytoplasm |
| made of cellulose (fiber) | cell wall |
| DNA found here | nucleus |
| photosinthesis occurs here | chloroplast |
| powerhouse of cell | mitochondria |
| some float freely in cytoplasm, others are attatched to the endoplasmic reticulum | ribosome |
| surrounded by a nuclear membrane | nucleus |
| captures energy from the sun to make glucose (plant food) | chloroplast |
| cell's railroad track | endoplasmic reticulum |
| cell's post office | golgi body |
| manufactures the proteins that make up the ribosomes | nucleolus |
| cell's landfill | lysosome |
| temporarily stores food, water, and waste | vacuole |
| framework for the cell | cytoskeleton |
| a group of cells working together to perform a particulat function | tissue |
| two or more tissues working together to perform a function | organ |
| moves material around in cells | endoplasmic retuculum |
| sorts and packages proteins into vesciles | golgi body |
| found in the nucleus | nucleolus |
| digests food molecules, cell wastes, and worn out cell parts | lysosome |
| rather large in plant cells | vacuole |
| helps maintain and/or change shape of cell | cytoskeleton |
| ER with no ribosomes | smooth |
| ER with ribosomes | rough |
| vesciles deliver substances in the cell and also attatch to the cell membrane to release materials to the outside | golgi body |
| cells require a continuous supply of this | energy |
| a strand of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coat | virus |
| organisms whose cells do not have any organelles | prokaryotes |
| sorts and packages proteins and then sends them to other parts of the cell | golgi body |
| manufactures ribosomes and other proteins | nucleolus |
| building blocks of life | cells |
| organisms whose cells contain membrane bound organelles including a nucleus | eukaryotes |
| organelle that contains digestive enzymes | lysosome |
| stores food, water, and wastes | vacuole |
| these are used to help prevent viral diseases | vaccines |
| the man responsible for discovering the first organisms in pond water | leeuwenhoek |
| proteins that protect cells from viruses | interferons |
| cell that viruses use to make copies of themselves | host |
| cell's framework | cytoskeleton |
| man who discovered the first vaccine | jenner |
| inactive stage of a virus | latent |
| discovered cells in a piece of cork | hooke |
| virus that infects bacteria | bacteriophage |
| microscope made of only one lens | single |
