| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| in eukaryotic cells, all cellular contents outside the nucleus; in prokaryotic cells, all of the cells' contents | Cytoplasm |
| specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a cell | Organelle |
| cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates | Vacuole |
| cell organelle that breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into a small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell | Lysosome |
| network of protein filaments in a eukaryotic cell that gives the cell its shape and internal organization and is involved in movement | Cytoskeleton |
| structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division | Centriole |
| cell organelle consisting of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in a cell; the site of protein synthesis | ribosome |
| internal membrane system found in eukaryotic cells; place where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled | endoplasmic reticulum |
| organelle in cells that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release outside the cell | Golgi apparatus |
| organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy forms from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy | chloroplast |
| cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use | mitochondrion |
| strong, supporting layer around the cell membrane in some cells | cell wall |
| flexible double-layered sheet that makes up the cell membrane and forms a barrier between the cell and its surroundings | lipid bilayer |
| property of biological membranes that allows some substances to pass across it while others cannot; also called semipermeable membrane | selectively permeable |
