Question | Answer |
1. Cell membrane | acts as a barrier between the cell and its environment; is on the outside of animal cells and just inside the cell wall on plant and prokaryotic cells |
2. Cell wall | provides strength and support to the cell membrane and is found on the outside of plant cells and prokaryotic cells |
3. Centriole | part of the cell’s cytoskeleton in animal cells |
4. Chloroplasts | make food using the energy of sunlight and contain chlorophyll; where photosynthesis occurs |
5. Cytoplasm | cellular fluid surrounding a cell’s organelles |
6. Cytoskeleton | maintains the cell’s shape |
7. DNA | the hereditary material that controls all the activities in the cell; contains the information to make new cells; and provides the instructions for making proteins |
8. Endoplasmic reticulum or ER | cell’s delivery system; the ER packages up proteins for release from the cell; rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on it, while smooth does not |
9. Golgi complex | cell’s packaging center; modifies and/or packages materials and transports them out of the cell |
10. Lysosomes | packages of destruction; digest food particles, wastes, and foreign invaders |
11. Mitochondria | cell’s power plant; make ATP; where cellular respiration occurs |
12. Nuclear membrane | surrounds the nucleus |
13. Nucleolus | dark spot inside the nucleus; where ribosomes are made |
14. Nucleus | control center of the cell; DNA is found in the nucleus; the nucleolus is inside the nucleus |
15. Ribosomes | cell’s protein factories; amino acids are hooked together to make proteins |
16. Vacuoles | stores water and other materials; they are large in plant cells and smaller in animal cells |
17. Vesicles | membrane-covered compartments that pinch off from the ER, Golgi complex, or cell membrane |
