Cell parts
This structure controls what enters and exits the cell.
Cell membrane
Movement of molecules from high to low concentration.
Diffusion
Cells without a nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells
This organelle is often called the “brain” of the cell.
Nucleus
All cells have a nucleus.
False
Known as the powerhouse of the cell.
Mitochondria
The process by which cells maintain internal balance.
Homeostasis
Cells that contain membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryotic cells
Plant cells have this extra layer for support.
Cell wall
Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells.
True
This organelle packages and ships proteins.
Golgi apparatus
The process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
Photosynthesis
Type of cell that makes up your skin.
Epithelial cells
This jelly-like substance fills the cell.
Cytoplasm
Ribosomes are only found in animal cells.
False
Found only in plant cells, this structure helps with photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
The process of making proteins from RNA.
Translation
These cells transmit electrical signals in the body.
Neurons
Ribosomes can be found floating freely or attached to this.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The cell wall is found in animal cells.
This part contains digestive enzymes to break down waste.
lysosome
The process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
Photosynthesis
These cells help fight infections.
White blood cells
This organelle is responsible for producing ribosomes.
Nucleolus
DNA is found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
