Bio test, quiz 3 review- unit 2 test

Nucleus

Controls cell activities, stores DNA; found in both plant and animal cells.

Mitochondria

Produces energy (ATP) through cellular respiration; found in both plant and animal cells.

Chloroplast

Converts sunlight into energy through photosynthesis; found in plant cells only.

Cell Membrane

Regulates what enters and leaves the cell; provides protection and support; found in both plant and animal cells.

Cell Wall

Provides structure and protection; found in plant cells only.

Ribosomes

Synthesizes proteins; found in both plant and animal cells.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Transports materials; rough ER has ribosomes (protein synthesis), smooth ER makes lipids; found in both plant and animal cells.

Golgi Apparatus

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport; found in both plant and animal cells.

Lysosomes

Breaks down waste and digests materials; found mainly in animal cells (rare in plants).

Vacuole

Stores water, nutrients, and waste; large central vacuole in plant cells, smaller vacuoles in animal cells.

Cytoplasm

Jelly-like substance that holds organelles in place; found in both plant and animal cells.

Cytoskeleton

Provides shape and support; helps with cell movement; found in both plant and animal cells.

Centrioles

Helps in cell division (mitosis); found in animal cells only.
