Organelles Basics
These are special structures in each cell that carry out particular functions
organelles
This organelle is found near the center of the cell.
the nucleus?
This structure functions to hold the cell together and acts as a boundary between the cytoplasm and the external environment.
Cell membrane
The organelle in plants most responsible for Photosynthisis
Chloroplasts
According to the cell theory all living things are made up of these.
Cells
An organelle performs a specific function to help meet the basic needs of the cell; all together they ensure this
the survival of the cell
This genetic material is found in the nucleus.
DNA
These organelles contain the digestive enzymes needed to break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
lysosomes
This organelle can be compared to lockers or a closet in the building.
Vacuole
What do we call cells with no nucleus?
prokaryotic
The nucleus and other of these help cells function.
organelles
What structure in this school building would we compare to the nucleus in a cell.
The office
This dense liquid holds the organelles in place.
What is Cytoplasm
This organelle can be compared to a trash can in the building. what is it and why?
Lysosome, because it digests the waste in a cell.
According to the cell theory all cells come from theses
Cells
The sum of the contributions of these ensures the survival of the cell.
organelles
This structure contains the genetic information that directs the main functions of the cell
the nucleus
These organelles are responsible for energy production in the cell through cellular repsiration
The Mitochondria
Three structures that distinguish plant cells from animal cells are the cell wall, chloroplasts, and this.
a large vacuole
Cells that have a nucleus are called this.
Eukaryotic
Each organelle carries out a particular what?
Function
How are the Nucleus and the Principal similiar?
They both are in control of their environment.
The cell membrane helps maintain a delicate balance based on what can enter and exit the cell.
Homeostasis
Cell wall
Single cell living creatures are called this
Unicellular organisms
