| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. Organelles: | 1. Organelles: the general name of tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell. |
| 2. Cell Wall: | 2. Cell Wall: A rigid layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms, it protects and supports the cell. |
| 3. Cell Membrane: | 3. Cell Membrane: controls which substances pass into and out of a cell. |
| 4. Nuclear Membrane: | 4. Nuclear Membrane: the double membrane surrounding the nucleus within a cell. Also called the nuclear envelope. **Not in the textbook |
| 5. Nucleolus: | 5. Nucleolus: small round structure in the nucleus where ribosomes are made. |
| 6. Chromatin: | 6. Chromatin: thin strands of material that fill the nucleus, contains information for directing the cells function. |
| 7. Nucleus. | 7. Nucleus: Control center of the cell, directs all of the cells activities. |
| 8. Ribosomes: | 8. Ribosomes: small grain-shaped organelles that produce proteins. |
| 9. Cytoplasm: | 9. Cytoplasm: jelly-like substance that fills all the open areas in the cell. |
| 10. 10. Mitochondria: | 10. Mitochondria: Rod-shaped structures that convert energy from food into energy for the cell, nicknamed the “powerhouse” |
| endoplasimic reticulum | 11. Endoplasmic Reticulum: The ER forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another. |
| 12. Golgi apparatus | 12. Golgi apparatus: receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell or outside the cell wall. |
| 13. Vacuole: | 13. Vacuole: stores water, food, and other materials needed by the cell, they can also carry waste products until it is removed |
| 14. Chloroplasts: | 14. Chloroplasts: captures energy from the sunlight and changes it to a form of energy cells can use in making food. |
| 15. Lysosomes: | 15. Lysosomes: Contains substances that break down large food particles into smaller ones. |
