THE WORD BEGINS WITH?

1. Small structure in a cell that performs a specific function is the

ORGANELLE.

2. Dark spot(s) in the nucleus where ribosomes are made would be the
NUCLEOLUS.

3. Sac of digestive enzymes = LYSOSOME

6
4. ROUGH ER is covered by ribosomes and sends its modified proteins to the Golgi apparatus.

5. The CELL WALL is found outside the cell membrane in plants and bacteria and provides
support and protection.

6. CILIA are many short hair-like structures on the surface of a cell that help move the cell or
move substances past the cell.

7. These sausage shaped organelles burn glucose and store the energy as ATP
= MITOCHONDRIA
8. The molecule used by cells to store genetic information = DNA

9. An organism with a nuclear membrane and organelles surrounded by membranes =

EUKARYOTES

10. The NUCLEUS is surrounded by a double membrane, contains the cells DNA, and acts as
the control center.

11. One or two long, hair-like structures called FLAGELLA extend from the surface of cells and
help move the cell.

12. The CYTOPLASM is the gel-like material plus the cell’s organelles.

13. RIBOSOMES are small structures that make proteins.

14. BACTERIA would be examples of cells that are PROKARYOTES.

15. A cell membrane is a lipid BILAYER because the phospholipids line up in TWO ROWS.

16. The PLASMA MEMBRANE surrounds all cells and is SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE to control
what enters and leaves the cell.

17. The function of ribosomes is to make PROTEINS.

18. PLANT and animal cells are both EUKARYOTES.

19. ER is an abbreviation for ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM.

20. SMOOTH ER does NOT have ribosomes attached.

21. The CYTOSKELETON is made of microtubules and microfilaments in the cytoplasm that
provide support and give the cell its shape.

22. PHOSPHOLIPIDS have a polar head and two non-polar tails and combine with PROTEINS to
make cell membranes.

23. A GOLGI BODY looks like a stack of pancakes and packages molecules for transport out of
the cell.

24. Molecule used by mitochondria to store energy = ATP

25. Space for storing food, water, enzymes, or waste = VACUOLE

26. CENTRIOLES are log-like structures that appear during cell division in animal cells and pull
the chromosomes apart.
