Functions I
What is a thin, flexible barrier around the cell?
What is the cell membrane
What is the organelle that provides support and protection for the plant cell?
What is on the cell wall
The organelle that is a ball with nuclear pores on it and acts as the control center of the cell.
What is nucleus?
Which type of cell has a large, central water vacuole?
What is the plant cell
Organelle that aids in the digestion of nutrients and
breaks down destructive cells (bacteria)
What is lysosomes?
Provides temporary storage, packaging and secretion of proteins and fats
What is the Golgi Apparatus
Where are the saclike structures that store water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates located in the cell?
What is in the Cytoplasm
What are the small particles that are made of RNA and synthesize proteins
What is ribosomes
The long threadlike proteins associated with muscle contractions in large organisms.
What are microfilaments?
Uncoiled genetic material (DNA) made within the nucleus
What is chromatin?
What controls most of the cell processes and contains the hereditary information of DNA?
What is the nucleus
Hollow, thin cylinders of protein that assist organelles to move from place to place within the cell
What are microtubules?
What is the small dense region that makes up most nuclei and produces RNA and proteins.
What is nucleolus?
Coiled genetic material (DNA)
What are chromosomes?
The organelle that moves chromosomes during cell division.
What is the centrioles?
What is the organelle in that transports ribosomes.
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Where is the hairlike projections (cilia) that aid in locomotion of the cell located?
What is surrounding the outside of the cell?
Mesh of hallow sheets that produces lipids.
What is the smooth ER?
The chromatin visible within the nucleus is found in what type of cell
What is both plant and animal
Contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis in the plant cell.
What is the chloroplast?
What cell organelle uses energy from food to make high-energy compounds that the cell can use to power growth, development, movement.
What is the Mitochondrion
The short hairlike projection on the edge of cell that aids in movement and locomotion?
What is the flagella?
Organelle that provides storage of water, starches, and fat. Appear differently in plant and animal cells.
What are vacuoles?
What type of cell has plastids that store starch and pigment that have their own DNA.
What is the plant cell
What is the cytoskeleton.
