Eukaryotic Cells

Question 0

Nucleus

Answer 0

Area where DNA is stored. Controls cell. Located in the center of the cell. In both plant and animal cells.

Question 1

Cytoplasm

Answer 1

Jelly like substance that fills the cell, location of thousands of chemical reactions. Found between the cell membrane and nucleus. Located in both plant and animal cells.

Question 2

Nuclear envelope

Answer 2

Membrane surrounding the DNA to protect it. Located in the center of the cell. In both plant and animal cells.

Question 3

Nucleous

Answer 3

Makes ribosomes. Found in the nucleus. Located in both plant and animal cells.

Question 4

Ribosomes

Answer 4

Locations of protein production. Scattered through cytoplasm ER. In both plant and animal cells.

Question 5

Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 5

Site of attachment for ribosomes, make lipids (fats), delivery and transportation system for proteins to the Golgi body. Found in the cytoplasm. Located both in plant and animal cells.

Question 6

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 6

Re-packages and makes proteins ready for use. Located in the cytoplasm. Found in both plant and animal cells.

Question 7

Lysosomes

Answer 7

Fluid filled the membranes that travel through the cytoplasm, digesting cellular garbage and other things. Protect cell. found traveling through the cytoplasm. Located in both plant and animal cells

Question 8

Vacuoles

Answer 8

Storage vessels in the cell, used for water and food. Located in cytoplasm. Found in plant cells and in some animal cells.

Question 9

Mitochondria

Answer 9

Responsible for breaking down sugars into energy for the cells use. Located throughout the cytoplasm. Found in both plant and animal cells.

Question 10

Chloroplasts

Answer 10

Taken sun light and converted into usable chemical energy (sugars and starches). Found throughout the cytoplasm. Found in plant cells and not in animal cells

Question 11

Cytoskeleton

Answer 11

Support structure for the cell, keep so expanded and from collapsing into itself. Found all through the cytoplasm. Found in both plant and animal cells.

Question 12

Centrioles

Answer 12

Responsible for controlling separation of DNA strands using cell replication. Invisible until then. Found in the cytoplasm. Found in plant and animal cells.

Question 13

Cell wall

Answer 13

Provides support for the cell. Found around outer edge. Not located in plant cells but located in animal cells.

Question 14

Cell membrane

Answer 14

Surrounds the cell, keeps it separate from surrounding environment. Protects cell & controls what goes in and out. Found on the outer edge. In plant and animal cells.
