Cell Structures
This is the jelly-like substance that fills the inside of a cell.
What is Cytoplasm?
This organelle is like a powerhouse, making energy for the cell.
(What is the mitochondrion?)
This process moves molecules from high to low concentration without using energy.
What is diffusion
This part of the cell controls what goes in and out, like a security guard
(What is the cell membrane?)
This organelle packages and sends out proteins, like a post office
What is the Golgi apparatus?)
This type of diffusion moves water through a membrane.
What is osmosis?
This structure gives plant cells their shape and extra protection.
(What is the cell wall?)
This organelle cleans up waste in the cell, like a garbage disposal
(What is a lysosome?)
The transport requires energy to move molecules from a high concentration to a low
This is where DNA is stored and acts like the "brain" of the cell.
(What is the nucleus?)
This organelle makes proteins and can be found floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER.
(What is a ribosome?)
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell, making it shrin
What is osmosis?
This structure is found in plant cells and helps make food using sunlight.
(What is the chloroplast?)
This structure acts like a highway, helping transport materials through the cell.
(What is the endoplasmic reticulum?)
The process of keeping the inside of a cell stable despite outside changes is called
What is homeostasis?
