| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell Membrane | A thin membrane that forms the outer surface of a cell. |
| Cell Wall | A rigid, transparent outer covering of a plant cell, made up of cellulose and other materials, and surrounded the cell membrane. |
| Centriole | Hollow, Cylindrical organelle which forms spindle fibers to seperate chromosomes during cell division. |
| Chloroplast | An organelle that contains a green chemical called chlorophyll, and is the site of photosynthesis. |
| Cytoplasm | A semi-fluid mediam between the nucleus and the cell membrane. |
| DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) | A double stranded molecule that is in all living cells, and is the gentic material organisms inherit from their parents |
| Golgi Complex | An organelle that stacks, ships, and packages products which come from the endoplasmic reticulumn (i.e. proteins). |
| Endoplasmic Reticulumn | a transport system, modifies proteins, makes macromolecules, and transfers substances throughout the cell. |
| Lysosome | an organelle that contains digestive enzymes which break down macromolecules and are in the golgi complex. |
| Mitochondria | An organelle where most of the cells energy is made. |
| nucleus | the control center of a cell that contains DNA inside a delicate membrane. |
| Peroxisome | contains enzymes that function to rid the body of toxic substances. Unlike lysosomes peroxisomes self-replicate by dividing high numbers of peroxisomes can be found in the liver. |
| Ribosome | main site for protein synthesis |
| RNA(ribonucleic acid) | Similar to DNA, and is single stranded and found outside the nucleus. it delivers the message for protein synthesis. |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulumn | To which ribosomes are attached; the attached ribosomes make it appear bumpy and specializes in protein synthesis. |
| Vacuole | A membrane closed sac involved in diverse storage functions. |
