100
This is the breakdown of absorbed substances
digestion
100
This cell type has a plasma membrane
both
100
A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which organelles are suspended.
cytoplasm
100
Organelles in which nutrients are converted to energy
mitochondria
100
This organelle is the "mailing service" of the organelles.
Golgi body or Golgi apparatus
200
This is different from egestion, which is the removal of nonsoluble waste materials. Instead, this is the term for removal of soluble waste materials.
excretion
200
This cell type has ribosomes.
both
200
The semipermeable membrane between the cell contents and the cell wall or the cell's surroundings.
plasma membrane
200
What is this and what is made here?
The nucleolus and the ribosomes are made here.
200
This organelle is where the DNA and RNA is stored.
nucleus
300
The transport of dissolved substances into cells.
Absorption
300
This cell type has an almost square like shape instead of round.
plant cell
300
Cells that are found in plants and animals that have a membrane bound nucleus and organelles.
eukaryotic cells
300
What is my function?
To make proteins.
300
These are microtubules that can either form cilia or flagellum and also function in the asexual reproduction of cells that is known as mitosis.
centrioles
400
This is the breakdown of food molecules with a release of energy.
respiration
400
This cell has a large central vacuole
plant cell
400
The motion of cytoplasm in the cell that results in the coordinated movement of the cell's contents.
cytoplasmic streaming
400
What am I?
mitochondria
400
This is the process by which cells engulf foreign substances or other cells
phagocytosis
500
The release of biosynthesized substances
secretion
500
The cell that contains lysosomes.
animal cells
500
Substances in which at least one atom has an imbalance of protons and electrons, which results in a positive or negative charge.
ions
500
If a child has been diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease, what organelle is not working properly?
Genetic disorder that affects the lysosomes of a cell
500
This isn't technically a cell organelle, but is found within cells and functions to help keep the shape of the cell.
the cytoskeleton
