Parts & Functions of Cells
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Cell Wall | In a cell, a stiff wall surrounds the membrane, giving the cell a rigid boxlike shape. |
Chloroplasts | These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. |
Vacuole | Most mature plant cells have one large vacuole. This sac within the cytoplasm stores water, food, waste products, and other materials. |
Cell Membrane | The cell membrane protects the cell and regulates what substances enter and leave the cell. |
Endoplasmic Reticulum | This network of passageways carries materials from one part of the cell to another |
Nucleus | The nucleaus directs all of the cells activities, including reproduction. |
Cytoplasm | The Cytoplasm includes a gel like fluid in wich many different oranelles are found. |
Mitochondria | Most of the cells energy is produced within these rod shped organelles. |
Ribosomes | These small structures funtion as factories to produce proteins. Ribosomes may be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, or they may float in the cytoplasm. |
Golgi Body | The golgi body recieves materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell. they also realese materials outside the cell. |
Cell Membrane | Since an animal cell does not have a cell wall, the cell membrane forms a barrier between the cytoplasm and the enviroment outside the cell. |
Vacuole (AMIMAL!!!) | Some animal cells have vacuoles that store food, water, waste, and other materials. |
Lysosomes | These small organelles contain chemicals that break down food particels and worn-out cell parts. |
