Answers 100% Correct
Why is water important to living things Because it is a universal solvent
Water is _____________(which mean it is + on one end and - on the other). Neutral
Cytoplasm A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
Nucleolus Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes
Nucleus Control center of the cell
Ribosome Makes proteins
Vesicle A membrane bound sac that contains materials involved in transport of the cell.
(Kind of like a shipping package)
,Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum ER that is dotted with ribosomes
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum serves many general
functions, including the folding of protein molecules in sacs called cisternae and the transport of
synthesized proteins in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus.
Golgi apparatus A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export
by the cell
Cytoskeleton A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its
shape, and aids in movement
Mitochondria Powerhouse of the cell.
Vacuole Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and
carbohydrates
, Cytosol Fluid portion of cytoplasm
Lysosome An organelle containing digestive enzymes
Centriole structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
Cell wall A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some
other organisms.
Cell membrane A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
Eukaryotic cells Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes.
Prokaryote A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Plant cell contains a cell wall, chloroplast and large vacuole
