Part A

TermDefinition
Nucleus Controls all the activities of the cell; growth and reproduction.
Cell Membrane Allows certain molecules to go in our out of the cell. The molecules diffuse in or out of a cell.
Cell Wall Supports and protects the cell; does not allow molecules in or out.
Chromosomes Proteins that contain DNA which has coded information for making molecules.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) Produces and stores protein.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER) Produces and stores fats & oils.
Golgi Bodies Modifies and packages proteins from thee Rough ER with enzymes.
Ribosomes Helps Rough ER make protein; attached to the Rough ER.
Centrioles Helps with cell division (spindle fibres come from this).
Mitochondria Converts sugar into energy for the cell.
Cytoplasm Fluid in the cell; allows organelles to move around.
Vacuole Stores water, minerals, and vitamins (much bigger in plants).
Lysosomes Breaks down food, invades bacteria and old/damaged.
Chloroplasts Uses sunlight to make its own food (photosynthesis).
Diffusion Movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
Osmosis Movement of water from high concentration of water to low concentration of water.
