| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A thin boundary around the cell that keeps contents inside the cell, lets nutrients into the cell, and lets wastes leave | Cell membrane |
| Gives protection, support and shape to a plant cell. | Cell wall |
| In animal cells, aids cellular division | Centriole |
| Green parts of plant cells that carry out the chemical reaction called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the capture of light energy from the sun, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water to sugar. | Chloroplasts |
| Jelly-like material inside a cell, which is continually moving. It contains water, ions, dissolved nutrients, enzymes and organelles. | Cytoplasm |
| Gives structure and support to animal cells | Cytoskeleton |
| Helps to transport materials inside cells. | Endoplasmic reticulum |
| Completes protein production; packages proteins for dispatch from cell | Golgi apparatus |
| Contains enzymes; responsible for destroys unwanted invaders in cell. | Lysosomes |
| The powerhouse of the cell; supplies energy to the cell. The site of aerobic respiration. | Mitochondria |
| A very thin boundary around the nucleus of the cell. | Nuclear membrane |
| Controls the activities of the cell. | Nucleus |
| Little round parts of cells that make proteins, which are needed so that we can survive and grow. | Ribosomes |
| A storage area of the cell that is full of fluid. | Vacuole |
