| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell; "littleorgan" | organelle |
| controls all functions of the cell because it contains DNA in the form of chromatin | nucleus |
| A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended | cytoplasm |
| controls what enters and exits the cell | cell membrane/nuclear membrane |
| a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell | cell wall |
| organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy | chloroplast |
| condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information | chromosome |
| cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell | lysosome |
| has a double membrane, produces energy for the cell in the form of ATP through cellular respiration | mitochondria |
| small cavity or sac used to STORE water, food, and other materials in the cell; both plants and animals have vacuoles, though plants have one large central vacuole | vacuole |
| a small cavity or sac that holds materials for TRANSPORT through and out of the cell; in both plant and animal cells | vesicle |
| processes, packages, and transports proteins and other materials in and out of the cell | golgi body/apparatus |
| transports proteins and other materials through the cell; often attached to nuclear membrane; smooth and rough parts | endoplasmic reticulum |
| dark spot in the nucleus; makes RNA which makes proteins | nucleolus |
| makes proteins | ribosomes |
