Question 1

Cell Wall

Answer 1

A rigid layer of nonliving material that protects and supports plant cells

Question 2

Cell Membrane

Answer 2

Controls what substances come into and out of the cell

Question 3

Nucleus

Answer 3

Cell Control Center that directs all the cell’s activity

Question 4

Nucleolus

Answer 4

Ribosomes are made in this structure that is inside the nucleus

Question 5

Chromatin

Answer 5

Thread-Like genetic material, or loosely packed DNA inside of the nucleus

Question 6

Cytoplasm

Answer 6

Watery, Jelly-like substance that surrounds the cell

Question 7

Mitochondria

Answer 7

An Organella that breaks down glucose or food to produce cellular energy

Question 8

Chlorplast

Answer 8

Plant organelle that captures the sun’s energy to make food

Question 9

Ribosomes

Answer 9

Protein factories of the cell; NOT considered an organelle because it is NOT surrounded by a membrane

Question 10

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 10

Organelle that acts as the cell’s highway; It carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another

Question 11

Vacuole

Answer 11

Small storage areas in a cell; they may store food, water or waste; typically found in animal cells

Question 12

Central Vacuole

Answer 12

Large, plant storage organelle

Question 13

Golgi Bodies

Answer 13

Organelle that is the packaging factory; Takes materials from the ER and packages them for transport around and out of the cell

Question 14

Lysosomes

Answer 14

Organelle that acts as the cleanup crew; it contains chemicals that break down harmful subbstances and recycles old cell parts; responsible for apoptosis

Question 15

Flagella

Answer 15

Whip-like structure used to move a cell forward

Question 16

Cilia

Answer 16

Hair-like structures used for movement

Question 17

Three cell structures that are ONLY found in plant cells are: _____, _____, and _____?

Answer 17

Chloroplast, Central Vacuole and Cell Wall

Question 18

Four cell structures found ONLY in animal cells are: _____, _____, _____ and _____?

Answer 18

Cilia, Lysosomes, Small Vacuoles and Flagella

Question 19

Understand how cells are organized:

Organelles –> _____ –>_____–>_____–>_____–> Organism

Answer 19

Organelles–>Cells–>Tissues–>Organs–> Organ Systems–> Organism

Answer 20

Bricks = Cell Walls
Mail Room = Golgi Bodies
Office = Nucleus
Endoplasmic Reticulum = Hall Ways
Vacuoles = Science Prep Room
Lysosomes = Trash Can
Mitochondria = Electrical Box
