Cells are constantly breaking down and rebuilding parts. The ______________ are the cell's recycling centers. They contain powerful enzymes that break down waste, old organelles, and foreign invaders. When an old or damaged part, like a tired energy maker, the _________________ , needs to be replaced, the first organelle engulf it and break it down into its basic components. The cell can then reuse these components to build new organelles, making the process very efficient and keeping the cell healthy.
1. Lysosomes
2. Mitochondria

The cell's _______________ is the security guard, controlling what comes in and out. But sometimes, it needs help. A threat, like a virus, might get inside. The cell's security team, including the ____________ and other specialized organelles, work together to neutralize the threat. The 2nd organelle will engulf the invader and destroy it. If the cell is overwhelmed, the ___________ might signal for the cell to undergo a controlled self-destruction process to prevent the virus from spreading. This is a complex but crucial process that shows how the cell's "brain" and its "cleanup crew" work together to protect the entire organism.
1. Cell Membrane
2. Lysosome
3. Nucleus

Imagine your body needs energy to run, jump, and even think. That energy comes from a process called _____________, which is like a cell's mini power plant. This process starts in the _____________, the jelly-like substance that fills the cell. Here, a glucose molecule (sugar from the food you eat) is broken down into smaller molecules, releasing a small amount of energy.
However, the real power production happens in the _____________. These are the "powerhouses" of the cell. The smaller molecules from the 1st organelle are transported into the 2nd organelle , where they go through a series of reactions. Think of it like a car's engine: the 2nd organelle takes the broken-down fuel and, with the help of _____________ (which you breathe in!), they efficiently convert it into a huge amount of usable _____________, called ATP. The byproducts are _____________and _____________, which the cell gets rid of.
1. cellular respiration
2. cytoplasm
3. mitochondria
4. oxygen
5. energy
6. water
7. carbon dioxide
400
What is the jelly-like substance that anchors the organelles in the cell?
Cytoplasm
400
This is found only in plant cells and is the site of photosynthesis.
Cholroplast
400
The garbage man is acting like a _____ in an animal cell
Lysosomes

What would happen if the organelle labelled "x" is damaged?
The cell wouldn't be able to photosynthesize!

What organelle is prominent in this cell?
The nucleus!

The _________________ are the kitchen of the plant cell, where photosynthesis happens. They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food (glucose). This ___________ is then stored or used for energy. The ____________, which is a large storage sack in plant cells, holds the water that the first organelle needs. It also helps maintain the plant's shape and rigidity, allowing it to stand up straight and get more sunlight for the chloroplasts to use. The ____________ in the plant cell then use the glucose produced by the first organelle to create energy (ATP) for the cell.
1. Chloroplast
2. Glucose
3. Vacuole
4. Mitochondria
500
Helps create protein in the cells
Ribosomes

1. Creates the proteins
2. Modifies/Changes the proteins
3. Packages and ships the proteins
1. Ribosomes
2. Endoplasmic Reticulum
3. Golgi Body

This organelle could be compared to a power plant (which uses raw starting materials, converts energy or matter from one form into a more usable form).
Mitochondria!
500
What would happen if organelle "Y" is damaged in the cell? (2 answers)
The cell would be out of control and wouldn't have DNA

Imagine a busy factory that makes proteins. The _______ is the CEO's office, holding all the blueprints (DNA) for what to build. A copy of the blueprint, called mRNA, is sent out to the _______, which are the factory workers on the assembly line. They get to work, stringing together amino acids to create the protein. Once the protein is made, it might get sent to the _________, which is like the factory's internal conveyor belt system. This folds and modifies the protein, then packages it up to send to the ___________. This is like the shipping and handling department; it sorts, tags, and ships the finished protein to its final destination, whether inside or outside the cell.
1. Nucleus
2. Ribosomes
3. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
4. Golgi Body
