| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Brain of the cell, contains DNA |
| Vacuoles/Vesicles | Store materials |
| Lysosomes | Break down and recycle macromolecules |
| Cell wall | outer layer of a plant cell. Shapes and supports the cell. |
| Cell membrane | Regulates materials entering cell. Supports and protects cell. |
| Cytoplasm | Gel-like substance inside a cell, supports cell and allows travel. |
| Nucleolus | Found in the nucleus, produces ribosomes |
| Nuclear membrane | Membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus |
| Nuclear pores | Pathways in and out of the nucleus |
| Cytoskeleton | Maintains cell shape,allows for movement. |
| Microtubules | Allow for movement in the cells. |
| Centrioles | Groups of microtubules. |
| Ribosomes | synthesize proteins |
| Mitochondria | Converts chemical energy into "food" usable by the cell. |
| Chloroplasts | Convert solar energy into chemical energy. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Assembles proteins and lipids. |
| Golgi Body | Preps things to exit the cell. |
