Cells and Organelles

Question 1

what and where is the cell membrane

Answer 1

• animal and plant cells
• brown lining in my plant cell
• controls what comes in and out of cell

Question 2

what and where is the cell wall

Answer 2

• only in plant cells
• green outside in my plant cell
• outer layer of plant cell that supports and protects cell
• little bumps or holes that go out of it to let stuff in/out

Question 3

what and where is the cytoplasm

Answer 3

• animal and plant cells
• gray bottom of my plant cell
• gel-like fluid that holds organelles and transports material sometimes

Question 4

what and where is the mitochondria

Answer 4

• animal and plant cells
• blue thing with a squiggle in my cell
• produces the cells energy from breaking down nutrients
• squiggle thing is where the chemical reactions to break down nutrients

Question 5

what and where is the lysosomes

Answer 5

• mostly in animal but sometimes in plant cells
• red balls in my plant cell
• holds enzymes to break down food or the cell when it dies

Question 6

what and where is the vacuole

Answer 6

• animal and plant cells
• white wrapping ribbon in my plant cell
• stores water, food, wastes
• helps keep plant shape

Question 7

what and where is the golgi bodies

Answer 7

• animal and plant cells
• light brown leather in my cell
• receives proteins from the ER and packages them so they can be shipped throughout the cell

Question 8

what and where is the chloroplasts

Answer 8

• only in plant cells
• green things with dots in my plant cell
• get energy from sun and makes it into cell’s food (photosynthesis)
• makes plants green

Question 9

what and where is the endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 9

• in plant and animal cells
• brown leather in my cell
• 2 types: rough and smooth
• rough: carries material throughout the cell especially proteins because it has extra ribosomes
• smooth: just carries other material throughout the cell
• works with golgi to package

Question 10

what and where is the ribosomes

Answer 10

• in plant and animal cells
• little gold balls in my cell
• creates proteins
• mostly on the rough ER but also throughout the cell

Question 11

what and where is the nucleus

Answer 11

• in plant and animal cells
• purple clay in my cell
• control center of the cell
• holds DNA in the chromatin

Question 12

what and where is the nucleolus

Answer 12

• in plant and animal cells
• pink clay in my cell
• inside the nucleus
• contains proteins and acids

Question 13

what and where is the chromatin

Answer 13

• in plant and animal cells
• lines inside purple clay in my cell
• contain the cell’s DNA
