Cells and Cell Parts
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Flexible outer layer that separates a cell from its environment. Controls what enters and leaves the cell. | Cell Membrane |
| Powerhouse of the cell. Takes glucose (sugar) and turns it into usable energy. | Mitochondria |
| Acts as a pathway through the Cytoplasm where complex molecules are manufactured from basic ones. | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Headquarters or Control Center of the Cell. | Nucleus |
| Gel-like material inside a cell. Mostly water. | Cytoplasm |
| Storage areas that hold food, water, and wastes. Small in animal cells, large and central in plant cells. | Vacuoles |
| Vesicles that contain digestive enzymes to break down old and harmful things in the cell. | Lysosome |
| Helps in cell reproduction (division), but only in Animal cells. | Centriole |
| Provides extra support and protection for only plant cells. | Cell Wall |
| Contains chlorophyll (making it green) which allows plants to make sugars from sunlight. | Chloroplast |
| Contained in the nucleus and contains the directions for the organelles and cell as well as your traits. | DNA |
| Packages that carry produced goods to other parts of the cell and beyond. | Vesicles |
| Organelles where goods are packaged up to be sent to different places. | Golgi Bodies |
| These make proteins from instructions given from the Nucleus. Usually housed in the E.R. | Ribosomes |
| Controls what goes into and out of the Nucleus. | Nuclear Membrane |
