Cell Parts: Structure and Function

Question 1

Nucleous

Answer 1

Control centre of the cell: holds DNA and the nucleolus

Question 2

Cytoplasam

Answer 2

A gel-like substance that holds eveything in the cell, and allows the organelles to move

Question 3

Vacuole

Answer 3

Large, central one in plant cells, smaller ones in animal cells

holds water in the cell

Question 4

Endoplasmic Rectillum (ER)

Answer 4

Transports materials (protiens, hormones, etc.) around the cell

Can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes)

Question 5

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 5

Packages and transports materials out of the cell

Question 6

Mitochondria

Answer 6

Creates the energy of the cell released from sugar (cellular respiration)

glucose + oxygen —> Carbon Dioxide + Energy (ATP) + water

Question 7

Chloroplast

Answer 7

Only found in plant cells

Aids in photosynthesis but trapping energy from the sun to make sugar

Carbon dioxide + sunlight + Water —> Oxygen + glucose

Question 8

Ribosomes

Answer 8

Aids in the creation of protiens

Can be found on the rough ER or free floating

Question 9

Lysosomes

Answer 9

Found in animal cells

breaks down waste material in the cell via enzymes

Question 10

Cell wall

Answer 10

Found in plant cells

a thick layer that gives the cell structure strength and extra protection

Question 11

Cell membrane

Answer 11

seperates inside of cell from the outside, controls what goes in and out of the cell
