Cell Structure Test
Review the names and functions of the organelles within a cell.
Question | Answer |
---|---|
cell specialization | different types of cells do different types of things (blood cells, skin cells, nerve cells) |
tissue | a group of cells that work together to do a special job form a _____ |
organs | groups of tissues that work together to do a special job form an _____ |
system | a group of organs that work together make up a system |
golgi complex/apparatus | takes in, stores, sorts, and sends out materials in the cell; makes lysosomes; and creates complex sugars |
vacuole | stores water/fluid, food, and waste products |
nucleus | controls the digestion, movement, and reproduction of a cell |
lysosome | digests food, destroys bacteria, breaks down cells |
cytoskeleton | helps the cell to maintain its shape, helps in cell division, and helps the cell to be able to move |
mitochondria | produce energy by breaking down sugars and starches; gives the cell the energy it needs to move, divide, produce products and contract |
ribosome | take amino acids and turn them into proteins |
cytoplasm | everything that is inside the cell membrane, except the nucleus |
cell wall | provides support and protection for the plant cell; water, oxygen and carbon dioxide can pass through this structure |
cell membrane | controls what comes in and goes out of a cell, supports the cell, and protects the cell |
cell theory | all living things are made of cells |
unicellular | one-celled organism |
multicellular | an organism made of more than one cell |
prokaryotic | a cell that does not have a nucleus (blue-green algae and bacteria) |
eukaryotic | a cell that has a nucleus (plant and animal) |
rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER) | does the synthesis and packaging of proteins and helps them to move through the cell |
smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) | makes lipids, helps the body to get rid of drugs & poisons, and breaks up carbohydrates |
chloroplast | photosynthesis (when carbon dioxide and water are joined together to make sugar and oxygen) happens inside this part of the cell |
DNA | is responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristics |
