This is the control center of the cell.
Nucleus
This serves as the powerhouse of the cell.
Mitochondria
This part contains the green pigment chlorophyll in plant cells.
Chloroplasts
Structure that surrounds the cell membrane of a plant.
Cell wall
Long structures used for motion in prokaryotic cells.
Flagella
Fluid that fills up space in the cell.
Cytoplasm
This is the basic unit of life.
Cell
Organisms that consist of a single cell.
Unicellular
This is the jelly like substance that fills a cell.
Cytoplasm
What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum?
Smooth and rough
Structures that carry out specific functions within a cell.
Organelles
Small, grain-shaped organelles that produce protein.
Ribosomes
Organisms that are made of many cells.
Multicellular
This packages proteins for transport.
Golgi body
Which 17th-century English scientist first used the term “cell” when observing cork under a microscope?
Robert Hooke
This is the barrier that keeps things in or out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
This structures transport materials within the cell.
Vesicles
Selectively controls what substances move in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane
The genetic information in floating freely in the cytoplasm. In this type of cells there is no nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells
This breaks down food, waste, and toxins.
Lysosome
Proteins mature in this organelle.
Golgi body
This tiny organelles synthesize (make) proteins for the cell.
Ribosomes
This is the biggest organelle of a plant cell and it serves as a storage room.
Vacuole
The genetic material that carries information about an organism and is passed from parent to offspring.
DNA
Structurally supports, imparts shape to cell; moves cell and its components.
Cytoskeleton
