100
What organelle is a storage unit for the cell?
Vacuole
100

cytoplasm
100
The _________ controls the cell.
Nucleus
200
These are used to make food for plants.
Chloroplasts
200
Which endoplasmic reticulum is where the ribosomes are produced?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
200
What organelle acts like a "garbage disposal" for the cell? It breaks down parts the cell doesn't need anymore.
A lysosome
200
Why is cytoplasm a thicker jelly-like substance?
It holds the organelles in place
200
This organelle is found inside the nucleus.
Nucleolus
300
Where do chloroplasts get their energy from to make food?
The sunlight
300
This organelle receives proteins & other materials from the ER. It then packages and transports them.
Golgi Apparatus
300
Name two things that vacuoles store
food, water, wastes, & other materials
300
What is the function of the cell membrane.
It controls what comes into and out of a cell.
300
What are the 3 components of Cell Theory?
Cells are the basic unit of life. All living things are made up of cells. Cells come from other cells of their own kind.
400
What can plant cells do that animal cells cannot?
Make their own food
400
What is the difference between the rough ER and the smooth ER?
The rough ER has ribosomes on it, while the smooth ER does not.
400
In addition to breaking things down, what is another function of the lysosome?
Attacking bacteria in the cell
400
The mitochondria is often referred to as the " ______ _____" of the cell.
power house
400
Why are ribosomes important to the cell? (In other words, what do they do?)
They create proteins.
500
What are the three major differences between a plant cell and an animal cell?
cell wall, chloroplasts, larger vacuoles
500
We said the golgi apparatus can be compared to what in a town?

Name one of the things that lysosomes break down in a cell.
Food & worn out cell parts
500
What is the function of the mitochondria?
It produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions.
500
Name the 5 jobs of cells.
They take in food, water, & oxygen. They break down food. They release wastes. They reproduce. They react to changes in their environment.
