cell brain or the “computer” of the cell. contains information to make the cell work

Answer 4

nucleus

Question 5

semi-fluid between the cell membrane and the nucleus

Answer 5

cytoplasm

Question 6

jelly-like substance within the cell that holds up the other parts in the cell

Answer 6

cytoplasm

Question 7

membrane bound sack in the plant cell

Answer 7

vacuole

Question 8

it’s the warehouse within the cell that stores food and waste products

Answer 8

vacuole

Question 9

surrounds the plant cell

Answer 9

cell wall

Question 10

supports and creates the shape of a cell

Answer 10

cell wall

Question 11

shaped like a football or a peanut in the cell

Answer 11

mitochondria

Question 12

the “powerhouse of the cell” because it creates energy for the cell

Answer 12

mitochondria

Question 13

green, similar in shape to a mitochondria

Answer 13

chloroplasts

Question 14

the spot of photosynthesis where energy is made for plat cells

Answer 14

chloroplasts

Question 15

white, maze-like cell part surrounding the nucleus

Answer 15

endoplasmic reticulum

Question 16

used to transport food or other materials from one part of the cell to another

Answer 16

endoplasmic reticulum

Question 17

creates protein

Answer 17

ribosomes

Question 18

tiny, round organelles that float around in the cytoplasm or attaches to the endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 18

ribosomes

Question 19

stacks of saucer-like membranes

Answer 19

Golgi apparatus (body)a

Question 20

works with the endoplasmic reticulum to transport materials across the cell

Answer 20

Golgi apparatus (body)a

Question 21

allows molecules to pass in and out of the cell

Answer 21

cell membrane

Question 22

formed by lipid molecules that naturally arrange themselves into spheres

Answer 22

cell membrane

Question 23

provides structure, helps organize cell division, functions as a system of roads for motor proteins

Answer 23

cytoskeleton

Question 24

has its own genome and circular DNA similar to bacteria

Answer 24

mitochondria

Question 25

stores and protects DNA. DNA is copied to RNA here

Answer 25

nucleus

Question 26

pores selectively allow molecules in and out

Answer 26

nucleus

Question 27

provides a place for ribosomes to carry out protein synthesis, stores enzymes, and provides a surface upon which chemical reactions can occur

Answer 27

endoplasmic reticulum

Question 28

1/2 to total amount of membrane in a cell

Answer 28

endoplasmic reticulum

Question 29

provides an area where macromolecules are tagged with labels - transport proteins use these labels to deliver the macromolecules to the proper place in the cell

Answer 29

Golgi Apparatus

Question 30

contains digestive enzymes that break down discarded proteins - this is one example of a vesicle

Answer 30

lysosome

Question 31

stores nutrients, breaks down waste, helps cell grow, provides pressure - only in plants

Answer 31

vacuole

Question 32

converts energy from the sun into sugar - only in plants - has own genome

Answer 32

chloroplast

Question 33

protects cell from injury and provides support - only in plants

Answer 33

cell wall
