| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mitochondria | Powerhouse of the cell. Involved in ATP production. Energy-producing chemical reactions take place on cristae. |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Tubular network. Lacks ribosomes.Stores, separates and serves as cells transport system. |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Ribosomes embedded in surface. Stores, separates and serves as cells transport system. |
| Nucleus | Spherical organelles that is the cells control centre. |
| Golgi Body | Protein packaging plant. A membrane structure found near the nucleus. Composed of numerous layers (sac). |
| Lysosome | Digestive 'plant' for proteins, lipids and carbs. Transports undigested material to cell membrane. |
| Cell membrane | Controls the movement of nutrients and waste in and out of the cell (semi-permiable). |
| Cell wall | Surrounds plasma membrane. Commonly found in Plant Cells. |
| Chloroplast | A plastic usually found in the plant cell. Green chlorophyll (photosynthesis). |
| Vacuole | Storage, digestion, and waste removal. Contains water solution. |
