Cell Structure

What organelle is usually referred to as the 'brain' of the cell?

• mitochondria

• vacuole

• cell membrane

• nucleus

jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that the organelles float in. 

• mitochondria
• vacuole
• chloroplasts
• cytoplasm

Protects a cell and gives it its shape.

• cell membrane
• nucleus
• cytoplasm
• cell wall

Uses light energy to make a sugar (photosynthesis). It is green.

• cytoplasm
• mitochondria
• chloroplasts
• ribosomes

A storage area for food, water and waste.

• vacuole
• chloroplasts
• cell wall
• cell membrane

Powerhouse of the cell. It releases energy from food.

• mitochondria
• chloroplasts
• golgi bodies
• ribosomes

"Gatekeeper" It determines what can come in and out of the cell.

• cell wall
• cell membrane
• cytoplasm
• vacuole

identify the cell

• nerve cell
• blood cell
• fat cell
• Epithelial cell

moves substances within a cell (pipe like structures)

• endoplasmic reticulum
• nucleus
• cytoplasm
• vacuole

Organelles that package cellular materials and transports them within the cell or out of the cell.

• Golgi Body

• Endoplasmic reticulum

• Large central vacuole

• Lysosomes
