| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Necleus | The center of the cell that controls the functions within the cell |
| Cell Membrane | Regulates materials entering and leaving cell; protects and supports cell |
| Vacuoles and Vesicles | Store Materials; both eukaryotes and prokaryotes contain these |
| Lysosomes | Breaks down and recycles molecules; found in eukaryotes |
| Cytoskeleton | Maintains cell shape; moves cell parts; helps cells move; found in eukaryotes |
| Centrioles | Organize cell division; only found in animal cells |
| Ribosomes | Synthesize proteins; found in all cells |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Assembles proteins; found in eukaryotic cells |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Does not have ribosomes on its surface; found in eukaryotic cells |
| Golgi Apparatus | Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell; found in eukaryotes |
| Chloroplasts | Convert solar energy to chemical energy stored in food; only found in plant cells |
| Mitochondria | Convert chemical energy in food to usable compounds; found in eukaryotes |
| Cell Wall | Shapes, supports, and protects the cell; found in plant cells and prokaryotes |
| Cell Membranes | Regulates materials entering and leaving cell; protects and supports cells; found in all cells |
