Cells

The basic unit of structure and function in all living things.

• chloroplast
• nucleus
• cell
• cell membrane

This thin layer protects the cell and regulates what substances enter and leave the cell.

• cell membrane
• cell
• cell wall
• golgi body

In a plant cell, a stiff wall surrounds the membrane, giving the cell a rigid, boxlike shape.

• cell membrane
• cell
• ribosome
• cell wall

These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell.

• cell membrane
• chloroplasts
• cell wall
• ribosomes

A gel-like fluid in which many different organelles are found.

• cell membrane
• nucleus
• organelle
• cytoplasm

Directs all the cell's activities.

• mitochondria
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• nucleus

A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within a cell.

• organelle
• cell
• nucleus
• ribosomes

What organelle controls the cell or is like "the brain" of the cell?  

• Lysosome
• Nucleus
• Nucleolus
• Chromosomes

Plants perform photosynthesis through this organelle.  It captures energy from the sun and uses it to produce food for the cell.

• Chlorophyll
• Chloroplasts
• Mitochondria
• Golgi Apparatus

This structure is a storage area for the cell. Plants usually have one large one.

• Lysosome
• Vacuole
• Ribosome
• Golgi Body
