Question | Answer |
The theory that the cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of living matter. | Cell Theory |
the thin membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell. | Cell Membrane |
Surrounds a cell membrane of a plant cell to give structure and protection to the cell.(provides support). | Cell Wall |
The green organelle in plant cells that converts light energy into chemical energy. | Chloroplast |
Found in the nucleus and made of DNA, these contain the genetic information of the cell. | Chromosomes |
Hair-like structures that extend from the surface of the cell to help with movement. | Cilia |
The jellylike material that fills the cell, and in eukaryotic cells, surrounds the nucleus. | Cytoplasm |
Long, whip like structure that allows a cell to move. | Flagellum |
Holds waste materials from the cell; breaks down food, worn out pieces of cells, and other wastes. Generally found in animal cells. | Lysosomes |
Functions in energy production, the powerhouse of the cell. | Mitochondrion |
Found in eukaryotic cells; contains genetic material (DNA) responsible for controlling the activities of the cell. | Nucleus |
Stores water and food in both plant and animal cells (larger in plants). | Vacuole |
How the parts are put together. | Structures |
Tube-like structures that exist in pairs in animal cells; guide the chromosomes during cell division. | Centriole |
Building site for the proteins of the cell | Ribosomes |
Clear tubular passageways studded with ribosomes; for transportation of materials throughout the cell . | Endoplasmic Reticulum- Rough |
clear tubular passageways (free of ribosomes); for transportation of materials throughout the cell. | Endoplasmic Reticulum- Smooth |
stores packages and ships cellular materials. | Golgi Bodies |
