Nucleus
Where is the cell's DNA stored?
The Nucleus
What is the outer layer of the cell called?
Cell Membrane
What organelle is responsible for creating energy?
Mitochondria
Which type of cell is usually rectangular or square?
Plant
These small, membrane-bound sacs contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
Lysosomes
What is the jelly-like substance that fills the space in the nuclear envelope?
Nucleoplasm
Which organelles make proteins?
Ribosomes
What is the name of the energy molecule the cell uses?
ATP
What is the rigid outer layer that only plants have?
Cell Wall
This double-membrane organelle contains its own DNA and is thought to have originated from an ancient symbiotic bacterium.
Mitochondria
What is the name of the membrane that surrounds the nucleus?
Nuclear Membrane
What do we call the jelly-like fluid that fills the cell?
Cytosol (accept Cytoplasm)
What process does the mitochondria use to make energy?
Cellular Respiration
What giant organelle do plants use to store water?
Vacuole
This is the specific term for the division of the cytoplasm, which occurs after telophase.
Cytokinesis
What type of RNA does the nucleus create for ribosome synthesis?
rRNA
What is the scientific term for the "fatty" layer of the membrane?
Lipid Bilayer
What two things do mitochondria take in to create energy?
Oxygen and Glucose
What is the name of the green organelle that does photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
While the rough ER is studded with ribosomes, the smooth ER is responsible for:
Lipid Synthesis/ Detoxification of the cell
What is the name for a complex mixture of DNA, RNA, and proteins (primarily histones) found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
Chromatin
Besides the nucleus, which organelle has its own DNA?
Mitochondria (or Chloroplast)
Which human cells have the most mitochondria because they need constant energy to move?
Muscle Cells
Plant cell walls are made of a tough, fiber-like material. What is that material called?
Cellulose
These microbodies contain enzymes that remove hydrogen atoms from various substrates and transfer them to oxygen, producing and then degrading hydrogen peroxide.
Peroxisomes
