Cell Structures

What is an organelle?

• A specialized structure inside a cell with a specific job, contributing to the overall function of the cell.

• A type of cell that can exist independently.

• A group of cells that work together to perform a specific function.

• A structure that is only found in plant cells.

What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus?

• An organelle that produces energy for the cell.

• An organelle that sorts, chemically modifies, and packages proteins and lipids into transport vesicles.

• An organelle that synthesizes DNA and RNA.

• An organelle that regulates the cell's water balance.

What is a Central Vacuole?

• A small organelle that produces energy for the cell.

• A single, large vacuole in a plant cell that stores water and helps maintain the cell's turgor pressure.

• A structure that helps in protein synthesis within the cell.

• An organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

Cytosol

• The jelly-like fluid portion of the cytoplasm that fills the cell and supports various essential chemical reactions.

• A type of organelle responsible for energy production in the cell.

• The rigid outer layer of a plant cell that provides structural support.

• A network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain its shape.

Cytoskeleton

• A network of protein filaments that gives the cell its shape, helps organelles move, and aids in cell division.

• A rigid structure that protects the cell from external damage.

• A fluid-filled space within the cell that stores nutrients and waste products.

• A membrane-bound organelle responsible for energy production.

Cell Membrane

• A rigid structure that provides support to the cell

• A thin, flexible barrier around a cell that controls which substances are able to enter and leave the cell.

• A part of the cell responsible for energy production

• A network of proteins that helps in cell division

What is a mitochondrion?

• An organelle that breaks down food molecules to release usable chemical energy for the cell through cellular respiration.

• A type of cell that produces hormones.

• A structure that stores genetic information in the cell.

• A membrane-bound structure that synthesizes proteins.

What is a lysosome?

• An organelle containing digestive enzymes that break down old cell parts, wastes, and foreign invading materials.

• A type of cell membrane that regulates what enters and exits the cell.

• A structure that synthesizes proteins for the cell.

• An organelle responsible for energy production in the cell.

What is a Cell Wall?

• A flexible layer that surrounds all cells

• A tough, rigid outer layer located outside the cell membrane that supports and protects plant and fungal cells.

• A structure that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• A part of the cell responsible for energy production

Cytoplasm

• The jelly-like substance that fills the entire cell and holds all the organelles in place.

• The outer layer of a cell that protects it from the environment.

• The part of the cell that contains the genetic material.

• The structure responsible for energy production in the cell.
