| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell wall | A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. |
| Cell membrane | A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell |
| Nucleus | A cell structure that contains nucleic acids, the chemical instructions that direct all the cell’s activities |
| Organelle | A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell |
| Ribosome | A small grain-like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made |
| Cytoplasm | The region between the cell membrane and the nucleus; in organisms without a nucleus, the region located inside the cell membrane. |
| Mitochondria | Rod-shaped cell structures that convert energy in food molecules to energythe cell can use to carry out it’s function |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell another. |
| Golgi apparatus | A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell |
| Vacuole | A sack inside a cell that acts as a storage area |
| Lysosome | A small, round cell structure containing chemical chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones |
| Multicellular | An organism with more than one cell |
| Unicellular | An organism with one cell |
| Tissue | A group of similar cells that perform a specific function |
| Organ | A body structure that is composed of different kinds of tissues that work together |
| Organ system | A group of organs that work together in the body to perform a complex function |
| Specialized cells | Cells designed to carry out a particular role in the body |
| Division of labor | |
| What is inside a nucleus? | Nuclear envelope, nucleolus, and chromatin |
| The difference between animal and plant cell structures | Cell wall, chloroplast, and large vacuole. That is the difference. |
| What does the endoplasmic reticulum do for the ribosomes? | It carries them. They are also attached to it. |
| Where ribosomes are made and why are they important? | They are made in the nucleolus. They function as factories to produce proteins. |
