New cards
Ribosomes
These are responsible for building proteins in the cell
2
New cards
Mitochondria
This organelle is responsible for the energy production of the cell
3
New cards
Cytoplasm
The jelly-like substance where the organelles live in the cell
4
New cards
Chloroplasts
The organelle that is responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it to food (photosynthesis)
5
New cards
Mitochondria (AKA “Mighty” Mitochondria
I make ATP (or energy) necessary for every cell to function corrrctly. (Cellular respiration)
6
New cards
Vacuole
This organelle stores water and other materials in the cell
7
New cards
Lysosome
This organelle digests wastes and other particles throughout the cell
8
New cards
Cell Membrane
This organelle is responsible for allowinf certain particles in and out of the cell
9
New cards
Amino Acids
Proteins, such as enzymes and hormones, are made out of A \*\*\*\* **A**\*\*\*\*
10
New cards
Vacuole
Bigger in plant cells (to hold water)
11
New cards
Nucleus
This organelle directs all activities in the cell
12
New cards
Cell Wall
This organelle gives the plant cell its shape and provides structure
13
New cards
Golgi body
Packages, sorts, distributes protein
14
New cards
Proteins
These are made in the ribosomes and are used throughout the cell for various purposes. They are called the building blocks of life.
15
New cards
Nucleus
Chromosomes (tell cells what to do) are located here
16
New cards
Endoplasmic reticulum
Transportation system of the cell
17
New cards
Lysosome
When you think of garbage and waste that the cell must get rid of, you should think of me
18
New cards
Vacuoles
Lysosomes can dispense theur enzymes into the v\*\*\*\*\*\*, digesting its contents
19
New cards
Nucleus
This organelle is the boss or the brains, telling the other organelles what to do
20
New cards
What are the three jobs of the cell membrane?
Give the cell its SHAPE, PROTECTS the cell, and controls movement of materials IN AND OUT of the cell
21
New cards
A difference between a plant and animal cell
Cell wall, chloroplast, shape, 1/many vacuoles

New cards
Name one characteristic of life
organized, reproduce, energy, homeostasis, stimuli, grow, energy, adapt
23
New cards
Name the 4 types of macromolecules
proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids

25
New cards
What is 1 principal of Cell Theory (there are 3)
all living things are made up of one or more cells, cellsa re the basic units of strucure in living things carrying on all life processes, cells only come from other living cells
