Answer 3

Nucleus

Question 4

Powerhouse of the cell with its own DNA that burns glucose for energy and stores it as ATP

Answer 4

Mitochondria

Question 5

Photosynthesizing organelle that contains chlorophyll in thylakoid sacs and its own DNA found in plants

Answer 5

Chloroplasts

Question 6

Cell which has a nuclear membrane and membrane around its organelles

Answer 6

Eukaryote

Question 7

Phospholipid and protein bilayer that surrounds ALL cells and controls which molecules enter or leave

Answer 7

Cell Membrane

Question 8

This organelle looks like a stack of pancakes. It modifies, sorts, and packages molecules the cell makes for export

Answer 8

Golgi Body

Question 9

Storage space for food, waste, and enzymes that is larger in plant cells and smaller in animal cells

Answer 9

Vacuole

Question 10

Contains the genetic material (DNA) and acts as the control center of the cell

Answer 10

Nucleus

Question 11

Molecule used by cells to store and transport energy for cell activities

Answer 11

ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate)

Question 12

Found outside the cell membrane in plants and bacteria, this supports and protects cells.

Answer 12

Cell Wall

Question 13

Membrane system which modifies and transports molecules made on its attached ribosomes

Answer 13

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 14

Folded inner membrane in mitochondria which increases surface area for chemical reactions

Answer 14

Cristae

Question 15

Cell which has NO nucleus or organelles surrounded by membranes

Question 16

Molecule with a polar head and two hydrophobic tails which forms cell membranes

Answer 16

Phospholipids

Question 17

Many, short hair-like structures made of microtubules that are attatched to the outside of cells which help move the cell or move things past the cell

Answer 17

Cilia

Question 18

Small structures, free or attached to the ER, which synthesize proteins

Answer 18

Ribosomes

Question 20

DNA and proteins that are spread out in the nucleus of non-dividing cels

Answer 20

Chromatin

Question 21

DNA and proteins that are scrunched up into rod shaped sructures in dividing cells

Question 22

Log-like structures that appear in animal cells to guide the chromosomes apart in dividing cells

Answer 22

centrioles

Question 23

Small, internal structure in a cell which carries out a specific job

Answer 23

organelle

Question 24

Network of microtubules and microfilamets that give the cell shape, support, and help in movement

Cytoskeleton

Question 25

Few, long hair-like structures made of microtubules that are attached to the outside of cells which help move the cell

Answer 25

Flagella

Question 26

Network of membranes WITHOUT RIBOSOMES which regulate calcium, make steroids, and break down toxins

Answer 26

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 27

Gel like material containing organelles found between the nucleus and cell membrane

Question 28

Membrane proteins with carbohydrates attached that help cells recognize “self”

Answer 28

Glycoproteins

Question 29

Describes membranes which allow certain substances to pass through but keeps others out

Answer 29

Phospholipid Bilayer
