| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cytoplasm | The material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus. |
| Chloroplast | A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. |
| Cell Membrane | The semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell. |
| Vacuole | 1.A space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid. |
| Cell wall | A rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | an eukaryotic organelle that forms an interconnected network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae |
| Cell | Basic unit every living thing is made of. |
| Nucleus | Powerhouse of a cell |
| Golgi Complex | a netlike structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells (especially in those cells that produce secretions). |
| Centrosome | An organelle near the nucleus of a cell that contains the centrioles (in animal cells) and from which the spindle fibers develop |
| Mitochondria | An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. |
| Cytoskeletin | A microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence. |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | an eukaryotic organelle that forms an interconnected network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae |
| Ribosomes | A minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. |
| Chromosomes | A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information |
| Lysosomes | An organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. |
