Basic Animal Cell Parts

Which is the "brain" of the cell?

• cytoplasm

• vacuole

• nucleus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is the outer layer of the animal cell.

• golgi apparatus

• cell membrane

• ribosomes

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is the jelly like substance that holds and protects the cell's organelles.

• cell membrane

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This structure packages and moves proteins through the cell.

• golgi apparatus

• ribosomes

• endopalsmic reticulum

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

These organelles build or synthesize proteins for the cell.

• endoplasmic reticulum

• ribosomes

• cell membrane

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

These organelles use enzymes to digest or break down biomolecules.

• lysosomes

• ribosomes

• cell membrane

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

There are two types of this structure:a smooth and a rough one

• ribosomes

• endoplasmic reticulum

• nucleus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is a large sac that holds food, water, and waste.

• vacuole

• nucleus

• cell membrane

These structures are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they release energy.

• vacoule

• mitochondria

• lysosomes

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

What is one difference between animal and plant cells?

• The plant cell is triangle shaped.

• There are eyes in the plant cell.

• There is a cell wall (not a cell membrane) around a plant cell.
