Plant Cells

Question 1

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 1

A folded organelle that makes proteins

Question 2

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 2

A folded organelle that combines proteins made by the endoplasmic reticulum and transports them to the rest of the cell and outside cells

Question 3

Mitochondria

Answer 3

Powerhouse of the cell. They break down food particles and release their stored energy. The cell uses this energy to fuel all of the cells activities. The mitochondria is surrounded by membrane

Question 4

Vacuole

Answer 4

A large sac-like organelle that stores waste, food and other substances. Each vacuole is surrounded by a membrane

Question 5

Cytoplasm

Answer 5

A jelly-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles. Oxygen moves through the cytoplasm

Question 6

Chloroplasts

Answer 6

Membrane-bound organelles that contain a green substance (pigment) called chlorophyll. In a process called photosynthesis, chlorophyll uses the Sun’s energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar (food) and oxygen. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells but not in animal cells

Question 7

Nucleus

Answer 7

A large organelle that is easy to see under magnification . It controls the activities of the cell,
such as growth

Question 8

Cell wall

Answer 8

Found in plant cells but not in animal cells The rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane. It provides the cell with strength and support. Materials pass in or out of the cell through
pores in the cell wall.

Question 9

Cell membrane

Answer 9

The thin covering that holds the cytoplasm and the organelles inside the cell and controls the passage of materials in or out of the cell

Question 10

Ribosomes

Answer 10

Tiny organelles that help make proteins. There are many of these organelles in the cytoplasm.
