Organelle Flashcards
Where are Proteins made?
Ribosomes
This produces most of the cell’s energy needed to carry out it’s functions! What is it?
Mitochondria
What is the gel-like fluid where organelles are found?
Cytoplasm
What surrounds the cell membrane, providing a rigid structure?
Cell Wall
What modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER and distributes them?
Golgi Bodies
What stores materials like water, food, and waste?
Vacuole
What do you call a series of tunnels throughout the cytoplasm that transports proteins from one cell part to another?
ER
What controls the cell’s activities and contains the hereditary material (DNA)?
Nucleus
What contains the chemicals to break down food particles and worn-out cell parts?
Lysosomes
What is inside the nucleus that acts as a storage space and the place that assemblies or Ribosomes begin?
Nucleolus
What regulates what enters and leaves the cell; it also protects and supports the cell?
Cell Membrane
What do you call a series of fibers that help maintain a cell’s shape and provide it strength?
Cytoskeleton
What captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into food that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
What is the Plant Cell Wall made of?
Cellulose
What are the 4 steps of the Cell Theory?
1- All living things are made of Cells
2- Cells only come from other Cells
3- All life functions happen within Cells
4- Cells can make DNA
