Calvin Cycle

Answer 9

Makes simple sugars.

Question 10

Cellular Respiration

Answer 10

Releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present.

Nucleus

Answer 17

An organelle composed of a double membrane that acts as the storehouse for most of a cell’s DNA.

Question 18

Cell Membrane

Answer 18

Double-layer of phospholipids that forms a boundry between a cell and the surrounding environment and controls the passage of materials into and out of the cell.

Question 19

Cell Wall

Answer 19

Rigid structure that gives protection, support, and shape to cells in plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria.

Cytoplasm

Answer 25

Jellylike substance inside cells that contains molecules and in some cells organelles.

Question 26

Cytoskeleton

Answer 26

Network of proteins, such as microtubules and microfilaments, inside a eukaryotic cell that supports and shapes the cell.

Question 27

Mitochondria

Answer 27

Bean-shaped organelle that supplies energy to the cell and has it’s own ribosomes and DNA.
