| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | synthesizes lipid molecules; helps remove toxins from the cell |
| Cytoplasm | Term for the region of a cell that is mostly water |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Site of protein synthesis; covered with ribosomes |
| Cell Wall | Shapes plant cells; holds the cell's shape |
| Flagella | allows some cells to move |
| Transport Vesicle | released by the Golgi Apparatus; some travel to edge of the membrane to release contents out of the cell |
| Lysosomes | digests food molecules and removes damaged organelles |
| Cytoskeleton | maintains shape of the cell; anchors cellular organelles |
| Ribosomes | synthesizes proteins |
| Plasma Membrane | controls what molecules pass into and out of the cell |
| Central Vacuoles | storage of water, chemicals, and sometimes wastes in cells |
| Secretory Vesicles | moves proteins and lipids between organelles |
| Mitocondria | converts sugar molecules into ATP |
| Nucleus | controls all cell functions; site of genetic information in storage |
| Organelle | general name for any structure in the cell's cytoplasm |
| Chloroplasts | converts solar energy into sugar molecules |
| Nucleolus | where ribosomes are made |
| Golgi Apparatus | modifies and exports (packages) cellular products |
