examples of organelles.

Cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, vacuole, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and chloroplast

a suspension fluid that houses the other organelles.

cell membrane (or plasma membrane)

acts as a boundary layer around the cytoplasm thus separating cells from their outside environments.

a secretion of the cell membrane; it provides protection from physical injury, and with the vacuole, it provides structural support.

stores water and ingested food in a fluid sack.

contain enzymes specialized to break down ingested materials, secretions, and wastes.

processes, sorts, and modifies proteins in cells.

like the “brain” of the cell. It contains chromosomal information on chromatin.

composed of long, thin strands of DNA which contains “instructions” that control cell metabolism and heredity.

RNA and protein complexes that are found in all cells. These complexes help cells during protein translation by joining amino acids together to form polypeptides.

act like a stomach for the cell; they take in nutrients, break them down and create energy for the cell

are the food producers in a plant cell

endoplasmic reticulum

transports chemicals between and within cells.

Many organic and inorganic substances dissolved in cells allow

chemical reactions that are necessary to maintain life to take place.

Large organic food molecules, such as proteins and starches, must

initially be broken down, or digested, into amino acids and simple sugars, respectively.

These smaller particles are then able to enter

the cell through the processes of diffusion and active transport.

Once nutrients enter a cell

the cell will use them as building blocks for other compounds that are necessary for life.

Plant cells and animal cells

contain different cellular structures.

never contain these structures.

Question	Answer
All living organisms on Earth are made up of microscopic structures called	cells
types of cells	unicellular
types of cells	multicellular
Cells consist of smaller pieces, called	organelles
Organelles are like	the “organs” of a cell
examples of organelles.	Cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, vacuole, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and chloroplast
Cytoplasm	a suspension fluid that houses the other organelles.
cell membrane (or plasma membrane)	acts as a boundary layer around the cytoplasm thus separating cells from their outside environments.
cell wall	a secretion of the cell membrane; it provides protection from physical injury, and with the vacuole, it provides structural support.
vacuole	stores water and ingested food in a fluid sack.
lysosomes	contain enzymes specialized to break down ingested materials, secretions, and wastes.
Golgi apparatus	processes, sorts, and modifies proteins in cells.
nucleus	like the “brain” of the cell. It contains chromosomal information on chromatin.
chromatin	composed of long, thin strands of DNA which contains “instructions” that control cell metabolism and heredity.
Ribosomes	RNA and protein complexes that are found in all cells. These complexes help cells during protein translation by joining amino acids together to form polypeptides.
Mitochondria	act like a stomach for the cell; they take in nutrients, break them down and create energy for the cell
Chloroplasts	are the food producers in a plant cell
endoplasmic reticulum	transports chemicals between and within cells.
