Study Set Content:
I am a jelly like fluid inside the cell. I provide an area of movement for all the dissolved molecules that keep the cell working. I am the
Cytosol
I am found inside of the nucleus. I help produce ribosomes. I am the
Nucleolus
I am a thin protective layer around the cell. But I am not one solid piece. I have tiny openings that allow materials to pass in and out of the cell. I am the
Cell membrane
When a cell needs energy, I take in nutrients, break them down, and supply energy to the cell. I can also convert stored energy in the cell to food. I am the
Mitochondrion
I am a large storage unit in the cell. I am very large in plants cells, and I store water, food and wastes. I help support the plant. When I start to shrink due to a lack of water, the plant may wilt. I am the
Central vacuole
I am a food producer for plant cells. I absorb light energy from the sun and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water to sugar and oxygen. I am not found in animal cells. I am a
Chloroplast
I act like a digestive system in an animal cell. I contain enzymes that break down wastes and other materials. I am
Lysosome
We build proteins in the cell. We can be found in several places in the cell, including in the cytosol and in the endoplasmic reticulum. We are
Ribosomes
We direct the genetic information of the cell. We are made of DNA, and found in the nucleus usually in pairs. We are the
Chromosomes
I am the “brain” of the cell, and I control all the activities of the cell, I am located in the cytosol, but you would not find me in prokaryotic cells. I am the
Nucleus
I am the cell’s transport system. There are two types of me rough and smooth. The rough type has ribosomes attached. I am the
Endoplasmic Reticulum
I am found only in plant cells. I am the outermost part of the plant cell. I am made of a specialized sugar called cellulose. I provide support and protection and give plants their shape, since they don’t have bones. I am the
Cell wall
I gather molecules and make them more complex. I store these molecules or send them into the cytosol or out of the cell. I process the proteins produced by the endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes. I am the
Golgi apparatus
