Cell Parts

Question 1

Cytoplasm

Answer 1

Jelly-like substance filling the extra space inside the cell membrane

Question 2

Eukaryotic Cell

Answer 2

Cell containing a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles

Plants, animals, fungi, and protozoa have this type of cell

Question 3

Prokaryotic Cell

Answer 3

No Nucleus or other membrane bound organelles

Bacteria and Archaea have this cell type

Question 4

Cytoskeleton

Answer 4

Organelles that provides cell shape and strength plus helps in dividing DNA

Question 5

Nucleus

Answer 5

Stores, protects, and make available DNA (instructions) for the rest of the cell to function properly.

Question 6

Nucleolus

Answer 6

Found inside the nucleus and creates ribosomes

Question 7

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Answer 7

Supports the production of proteins by ribosomes which are attached to the walls of this organelle

Question 8

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 8

Organelle that makes lipids and breaks down alcohol/drugs

Question 9

Ribosomes

Answer 9

Make proteins by linking together amino acids

Question 10

Golgi apparatus

Answer 10

Processes, sorts, and delivers proteins either throughout the cell or out of the cell membrane

Question 11

Vesicles

Answer 11

Membrane-bound transport sacs that facilitate movement of molecules through the cell

Question 12

Mitochondria

Answer 12

Powerhouse of the cell

Contains its own DNA

Question 13

Vacuoles

Answer 13

Storage of water, foods, ions, and enzymes

Question 14

Central Vacuole

Answer 14

Plant only; Stores water and provides cell structure

Question 15

Chloroplasts

Answer 15

Plant only: Carries out photosynthesis and contains own DNA

Question 16

Cell Wall

Answer 16

Plant Only: Provides extra strength and structure outside of the cell membrane

Question 17

Lysosomes

Answer 17

Animal Cell Only; Brakes down damaged cell parts and defends the cell from bacteria and virus

Question 18

Centrioles

Answer 18

Animal Cell Only; help DNA divide and form cilia and flagella
