| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What organelle harvests energy from organic compounds like glucose and is responsible for the production of ATP by cellular respiration | mitochondria |
| Which organelle is responsible for the process of photosynthesis and contains chlorophyll? It is found in plants and algae. | chloroplast |
| This is a green pigment, which absorbs the suns energy. It is found in plants, algae and certain bacteria. | chlorophyll |
| This is a large membrane-bound sack found in plants and contains water, ions, nutrients and waste | central vacuole |
| a structure found only in eukaryotes and houses the cells DNA, it is considered the control center | nucleus |
| found inside the nucleus and is responsible for the production of ribosomes and RNA | nucleolus |
| phospholipid bilayer which surrounds the outside of a cell, separates the cell from its environment and controls what enters and leaves the cell. It is selectively permeable or semi-permeable | cell membrane |
| cellular structures which is responsible for the production of proteins- found attached to the rough Endoplasmic reticulum or in the cytoplasm | ribosomes |
| this organelle modifies proteins and packages them - this is the packaging center of the cell. | golgi apparatus, golgi complex or golgi bodies. |
| this organelle contains strong digestive enzymes-involved in programmed cell death - known as the suicide package of the cell | lysosomes |
| rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane in plants, fungi and most bacteria - provides structure and support. | cell wall |
| These cells contain a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles | eukaryotes |
| these single-celled organisms are small and do not have a nucleus. They have been on the planet for 3.5 billion years | prokaryotes |
| long hair-like structures used for movement or locomotion. Found on bacteria and some eukaryotes | flagella |
| small hair-like structures used to move substances or for locomotion | cilia |
| transportation system of the cell - proteins are made on the surface of this organelle and then transported to the golgi | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| involved in processing lipids | smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
| everything in between the nuclear membrane and the cell membrane | cytoplasm |
| smallest unit capable of all life processes-surrounded by a membrane | cell |
| the theory which states that all living things are made of one or more cells, all cells come from other cells and cells are the basic unit of structure and function | cell theory |
| structures found in eukaryotes which have a specialized function | organelle |
| small membrane-bound sac which transports materials within the cell | vesicle |
| carbon dioxide and water are combined using the suns energy and sugar and oxygen are produced during this process | photosynthesis |
| sugar and oxygen are "burned" and carbon dioxide, water and ATP are produced | cellular respiration |
