Organelle Functions 1
the control center of the cell directs cell's activities; it contains the chemical instructions that direct all cell's activities (dna)
Nucleus
organelles that breaks down glucose molecules to make energy available (ATP)
Mitochondria
Which of the following is only found in plant cells?
A) Nucleus
B) Large Central Vacuole
C) Cytoplasm
D) Mitochondria
B) Large Central Vacuole
Bacteria is an example of what category of cell? Prokaryotic of Eukaryotic?
Prokaryotic
thin, flexible barrier around a cell, it regulates what enter and leaves the cell. It is found in all cells.
Cell Membrane
organelles that capture energy from the sunlight and use it to produce energy for for the cell. only found in plants.
Chloroplast
Chloroplasts are found in this type of cell.
Plant
Plant, animal, and fungi cells are what category of cell? Prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Eukaryotic
organelle that links amino acids together to form proteins
Ribosomes
the organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders
Lysosomes
Bob is looking at a cell under a microscope. Which of these organelles would prove he is looking at a plant cell?
A) Mitochondria
B) Nucleus
C) Golgi Apparatus
D) Cell Wall
D) Cell Wall
Which characteristic of life is being described. "A pill bug eats a carrot."
All living things need energy
organelle that makes lipids, breaks down drugs and other substances, and packages proteins for the Golgi Complex
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The area inside a cell between the nucleus and the cell membrane, where organelles can be found
Cytoplasm
What is the process that takes in the chloroplasts of plants where they make their own food.
Photosynthesis
Which characteristic of life is being described. "When a human steps out into the cold air, the body begins to shiver in order to keep its temperature at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit."
All living things maintain homeostasis
the organelle that processes and packages proteins and other materials for transport out of the cell
Golgi Apparatus
the organelle that stores water and other materials. very large structure in plant cells.
Vacuole
Name one organelle only found in animal cells.
Centriole or Lysosomes
An amoeba is a unicellular organism.
All living things made of cells.
