Cell Organelles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Stores material within the cell | Vacuole |
| Closely stacked, flattened sacs (plants only) | Thylakoids (or Granum) |
| The sites of protein synthesis | Ribosomes |
| Transports materials within the cell | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| The region inside the cell except for the nucleus | Cytoplasm |
| Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell | Nucleus |
| Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color | Chloroplast |
| Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or bacteria | Lysosome |
| Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum | Ribosomes |
| Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products | Vacuole |
| Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protists | Cell Wall |
| Produces a usable form of energy for the cell | Mitochondria |
| Packages proteins for transport out of the cell | Golgi Apparatus |
| Everything inside the cell including the nucleus | Protoplasm |
| Site where ribosomes are made | Nucleolus |
| The membrane surrounding the cell | Plasma membrane (or Cell membrane) |
| Provides support for the cell, has two "subparts" | Cytoskeleton |
| Name for the collection of DNA in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells | Chromatin |
| Consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell | Microtubules |
| Small hair-like structures used for movement or sensing things | Cilia |
| Composed of a phospholipid bilayer | Plasma membrane (or Cell membrane) |
| Longer whip-like structures used for movement | Flagella |
