Cell: Parts-Function
cell organelles: Name and Function. StB-6th grade
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell Membrane | Controls the movement into and out of the cell |
| Cytoplasm | Watery material which contains many of the materials involved in cell metabolism. This refers to all contents of the cell other than the nucleus. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Serves as a pathway for the transport of materials throughout the cell. Also associated with syntheses and storage. . . .'the highway of the cell' |
| Nucleus | Serves as the control center for cell METABOLISM and REPRODUCTION. It contains the DNA. |
| Ribosomes | Sites of PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. Makes proteins using DNA |
| Lysosomes | Involved in the digestion of food within the cell. Contains enzymes. It digest food particles, wastes, cell parts, and invaders. . . . 'cleanup crew' |
| Mitochondria | The 'powerhouse' of the cell... that is it provides energy for the cell's activities. This energy is called ATP |
| Golgi Apperatus..... Golgi Complex | Packages and secretes the products of the cell.......packages proteins for use, or to be released from the cell |
| X xx x | Involved in cell division in animal cells |
| Vacuoles | Fluid filled organelles enclosed by a membrane. Contains stored food or wastes . . . 'storage tanks for food, water, and wastes materials' |
| Nucleolus | Site of the production of ribosomes . . . 'the little nucleus' |
| Nuclear envelope | Controls movement into and out of the nucleus |
| Cell wall | Gives the cell its shape and provides protection. Not found in animal cells |
| Cilia | Hairlike structures with the capacity for movement |
| Flagella | A long, hairlike structure used for movement |
| Chloroplast | Site of photosynthesis ..... [[contains chlorophyll. Stores food and provides color in plants.] |
| X x x | During cytokinesis, the new cell wall that begins to form in the middle, dividing the 2 sides |
| Microtubule | Rod shaped bodies that carry genetic information . . . .(shape the cells, guide organelle movement, and separate chromosomes) |
