Cell Organelles
The powerhouse of the cell
What are mitochondria?
Homeostasis means keeping this type of environment stable
What is an internal environment?
The green organlle that allows plants to make their food
What is the chloroplast?
This flexible structure controls what enters and exits the cell
What is the cell membrane?
Controls the organelle activity and holds DNA
What is the nucleus?
If you are working out and it is hot outside, your body does this to cool you off
What is sweating?
The outer layer that gives plants structure.
The cell wall
Animal cells don't have these organelles
The gel-like substance that keeps organelles in place and allows for movement in all cells
What is the cytoplasm?
This organelle allows for homeostasis because it allows for the movement of molecules and waste in and out of cells
What is the cell membrane?
Plants store food, water, and waste in this large organelle (it's larger in plant cells than in animal cells)
What is the central vacuole?
This structure is smaller in animal cells than in plant cells
What is the vacuole?
Produces lipids and proteins and is involved in the movement of molecules within the cell
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
The process that allows water to move in and out of the cell membrane
What is osmosis?
The two organelles that animal cells don't have
What is the cell wall and the chloroplast?
These organelles make proteins within the cell
What are ribosomes?
Holds nutrients, liquids, and waste inside cells, larger inside of plant cells
What is the vacuole? What is the central vacuole?
During osmosis, water moves from a certain concentration of solution to another area of concentration of solution.
What is low to high concentration?
The pigment that makes plants green
These organelles help animal cells divide during mitosis
What are the centrioles?
