Question 1

Cytoplasm

Answer 1

Mostly composed of water and change from jelly-like to liquid. The cytoplasm suspends all organelles of the cell.

Question 2

Cell membrane

Answer 2

Packages the entire cell and acts as a gate keeper, controlling what goes in and out of the cell

Question 3

Nucleus

Answer 3

Contains the genetic information (DNA) of the cell

Question 4

Nucleolus

Answer 4

Produces ribosomes for the endoplasmic reticulum

Question 5

Chromosomes

Answer 5

Are the genetic information of the cell

Question 6

Mitochondria

Answer 6

Provide energy to the cell by converting glucose (sugar) and oxygen into usable energy and release carbon dioxide

Question 7

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 7

Fluid filles tubes that run all throughout the cell and transport different materials (hormones, proteins, etc.) throughout the cell

Question 8

Ribosomes

Answer 8

Cellular machines that help make proteins

Question 9

Golgi Bodies

Answer 9

Remove waste from the cell and secrete mucus

Question 10

Vacuoles

Answer 10

Single layer membrane enclosing fluid in a sac. They have functions including waste removal and maintaining internal fluid pressure

Question 11

Animal cells…

Answer 11

can be all kinds of shapes.

Question 12

Plant cells…

Answer 12

have cell walls; have chloroplasts; have a central vacuole; usually boxy or square

Question 13

Both animal and plant cells…

Answer 13

have DNA; have ribosomes; have cytoplasm; have a cell membrane; have a cytoskeleton; have mitochondria; have golgi apparati; have endoplasmic reticuli; have a nucleus; have a nucleolus

Question 14

Chloroplast

Answer 14

• Absorbs the sun’s energy and uses that energy to make glucose for the plant
• Usually gives plants a green color
