Random
100
Cells contain many of these organelles that are responsible for making proteins for the cell.
What are ribosomes?
100
These are simple, single-celled organisms.

Prokaryotes

100
Provides protection and support to the cell membrane in plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
100

This is like the city hall of the city. It controls all of the cell's activities.

Nucleus

200
These organelles break down food molecules to produce energy. They are the powerhouse of the cell.
What are mitochondria?
200
More complex organisms with more than one cell

Eukaryotes

200
Digest food particles, wastes, cell parts and foreign invaders. This organelle is the clean-up crew of the cell.
What are lysosomes?
200

The process by which plants capture light energy from the sun and convert it into sugar?

What is photosynthesis?

300
This organelle is the control center of the cell, and is where DNA is stored.
What is the nucleus?
300

Humans have these types of cells

Animal Cells

300
This organelle provides storage for food, water and wastes.
What is a vacuole?
300

In photosynthesis, plants need sunlight, water and this.

Carbon Dioxide

400
This organelle is only found in plant cells, and contains chlorophyll that traps sunlight to make food for plants.
What is chloroplasts?
400

These types of cells have complex structures, and have a true nucleus.

Eukaryotic cells

400
Passageways that transport proteins, make lipids, and break down harmful substances. This organelle is the highway of the cell.
What is the ER/endoplasmic reticulum?
400

These are the by-products of photosynthesis.

Oxygen and water.

500
This organelle surrounds all cells and keeps the cytoplasm inside. It is the gateway to the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
500

Unicellular organisms

Prokaryotes

500
This organelle packages and transports materials out of the cell. It is known as the FedEx of the cell.
What are Golgi bodies?
500

When you water a plant, water is stored in this organelle.

Vacuole
