Cell Vocabulary

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

• Chloroplasts store water for the plant.

• Chloroplasts make food using sunlight and chlorophyll through photosynthesis.

• Chloroplasts provide structural support to the plant cell.

• Chloroplasts are responsible for cellular respiration.

What is the function of the cell wall?

• It regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• It provides strength and support to the cell.

• It stores genetic information for the cell.

• It is involved in energy production for the cell.

What does a vacuole do in a cell?

• Stores water, waste, and other materials in the cell.

• Produces energy for the cell.

• Transports nutrients across the cell membrane.

• Synthesizes proteins for the cell.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• It provides structural support to the cell.

• It controls what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

• It stores genetic information.
