Identify
100
The DNA is in the nucleus of this type of cell.
Eukaryotes
100
The protective, semi-permeable layer protecting the cell.
Cell membrane
100
Nucleus
The brain of the cell.
Directs the cell's activities.
Contains the genetic material (DNA, Chromosomes)
100
If the cell were a business, this organelle would be the CEO.

What is #9?
Mitochondrion
200
This type of cell has no membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotes
200
This organelle traps sunlight for photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts
200
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell.
Convert food into energy that the cell can use.
200
If the cell were a school, these organelles would be janitors.
Lysosomes
200
What is #6?
Golgi apparatus
300
In this type of cell the DNA is in the cytoplasm.
Prokaryotes
300
This is where proteins are made.
Ribosomes
300
Vacuoles
Stores food, water, wastes, etc.
Much larger in plants.
300
If the cell were an amusement park, this organelle would be the gates/fences.
Cell membrane

What is #8?
Smooth ER
400
This is the largest group of prokaryotes.
Bacteria
400
Site of lipid synthesis
Smooth ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
400
Golgi apparatus
Make, process, and package proteins.
Receives proteins and materials from the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
400
