Question 1: Cell Membrane

Answer:

A protective layer that covers the cell's surface and controls what moves in and out of the cell. [in ALL cells]

Question 2: Vacuole

Answer:

The organelle that stores water and other materials. It is very large in plant cells.

Question 3: Nucleus

Answer:

A large organelle in a eukaryotic cell that contains the cell's DNA/chromosomes/genetic material.

Question 4: Ribosome

Answer:

An organelle that makes proteins. [in ALL cells]

Question 5: Cytoplasm

Answer:

The fluid, jelly-like substance that fills the cell. It's mostly made of water. [in ALL cells]

Question 6: Chloroplast

Answer:

Organelles in plant cells that trap sunlight; organelle in which photosynthesis takes place. [CO2 + H2O

• sunlight --> sugar]

Question 7: Golgi Body

Answer:

The organelle that packages proteins before they leave the cell.

Question 8: Cell Wall

Answer:

A structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell. [found in: plants, fungi, bacteria, algae]

Question 9: Mitochondria

Answer:

The organelles that that break down food/sugar to release energy [sugar + oxygen --> ENERGY +

CO2 + H2O]

Question 10: Lysosome

Answer:

The organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders. Found in animal cells and NOT plant cells.

Question 11: eukaryote

Answer:

an organism made up of cells that contain their DNA in a nucleus [examples: animals, plants, fungi, protists]

Question 12: Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer:

The organelle that transports proteins around the cell.

Question 13: Chromosome

Answer:

Structures in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells made of DNA (--> which has instructions for making proteins) [DNA in ALL cells]

Question 14: organelle

Answer:

a small body in a cell's cytoplasm that is specialized to perform a specific function (EX: nucleus, Golgi, ribosome, etc.)

Question 15: Nucleolus

Answer:

A darkened area inside the nucleus which stores materials that will be used to make ribosomes.

Question 16: prokaryote

Answer:

a single-celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles [example: bacteria, algae]
