tiny specialized structures inside each cell that carry out a specific function
Organelle
Which cell - mitochondria
both
a fluid, or gel-like substance, that fills the cell; the organelles and other particles float in it.
Cytoplasm
Stores water, food, and waste
Vacuole
Makes the food for the plant cell through photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
Which cell - cell wall
plant
Modifies proteins made by the cell
Golgi body
A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
Organelles
Allows good things in the cell and keeps bad things out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
separates the cell from the surrounding environment and functions as a selective barrier for the import and export of materials.
Cell Membrane
Stores water, food, and waste
Vacuole
Mini factories/machines where proteins are made in the cell. Connected to the Rough ER.
Ribosomes
Cell Superhighway that does not carry proteins
Smooth ER
Control center of the cell
Nucleus
Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller ones. Digests old cell parts
lysosome
transports things from the ER to the Golgi body
Golgi vesicles
Which cell - ribosomes
both
An organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs
Chloroplast
Cell Superhighway that carries proteins
Rough ER
Which cell - large vacuole
plant
Animal & plant cells are what type of cell?
Eukaryotic
A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
Cell Membrane
The gel-like fluid that holds the organelles in place.
Cytoplasm
fluid-filled organelles that store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals and waste products; MUCH larger in plant cells
Vacuole
Cell Membrane - which cell?
Both
Which cell - cytoplasm
both
rganelle that converts solar energy to sugar; makes plants green because they contain chlorophyll; site of photosynthesis; found only in plant cells (and some bacteria)
Chloroplast
Brain of the cell
nucleus
hard organelle just outside the cell membrane; gives the plant cell structure and support; protects the cell
Cell Wall
Which cell - golgi body
both
Which cell - chloroplast
plant
synthesizes proteins
ribosomes
Which cell - small vacuoles
animal
A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
Cytoplasm
A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell
Cell Wall
"powerhouses" or "power plants" of the cell; sites of cellular respiration to produce energy
Mitochondria
modifies, sorts, and temporarily stores proteins
Golgi Body
Direct the cell's activities. Contains the genetic material (DNA) of the cell; only found in eukaryotes.
Nucleus
Which cell - Endoplasmic Reticulum
both
Powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
Which cell - nucleus
Both
