Cell Part Functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell Membrane | selectively permeable Controls what moves in & out of a cell |
| Nucleus | Command center of the cell |
| Cytoplasm | Jelly-like material inside the cell Protects internal structures |
| Ribosome | Make proteins Spherical Small |
| Golgi Apparatus | Processes, packages, & ships proteins within the cell & secretes out of cell |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Moves proteins throughout the cell |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Produces & stores lipids |
| Nuclear Membrane | Semi-permeable membrane separates nucleus from the cytoplasm |
| Nucleolus | Inside nucleus Makes ribosomes |
| Chromatin | Chromosome strands inside nucleus |
| Mitochondrion | Powerhouse of the cell |
| Microfilaments | Thin solid protein fibers inside cytoplasm give shape to the cell |
| Microtubules | Thin hollow protein tubes in cytoplasm give shape to the cell |
| Centrioles | Important for mitosis in animal cells |
| Vacuole | Store food, waste, & enzymes for cell |
| Lysosome | Break down food molecules, worn out cell parts & cell wastes |
| Cilia | Hairlike structures for locomotion |
| Flagellum | Tail-like structure for locomotion |
| Chloroplast | Green structure found in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs |
| Cell wall | Protection Found in prokaryotic & plant cells |
| Plasmid | Ring of DNA Found only in prokaryotic cells |
