Click on the blank and choose the best word to complete the paragraph below. cells are the basic unit of life and are the main unit of organization in living things. All cells are contained by a cell membrane that keeps the cell parts inside the cell. The cell membrane also controls what goes in and out of the cell. Inside the cell, there are tiny parts known as organelles. Click on the blank and select the best word to complete the paragraph. Each organelleis a tiny organ-like structure that has a specific job or function. All of the organelles work togetherto help the cell get rid of waste, repair damage, growand reproduce. The nucleusis the largest cell structure and it functions as the commandcenter of the cell. Match it up! Match each cell organelle with the function it serves for the cell. nucleus controls a cell's activities cell membrane protective layer, controls what leaves & enters a cell cytoplasm jelly like substance, holds organelles in place ribosomes makes protein for the cell mitochondria releases energy for the cell golgi apparatus (body) packaging and distribution center of the cell rough ER provides a roadway for proteins to travel; covered with ribosomes; smooth ER makes enzymes for cell detoxification; does not have ribosomes on its surface Vesicles membrane-bound containers that are used to transport various items around the cell Lysosome specialized vesicles that contain powerful enzymes to help digest old, worn out cell parts and foreign substances Plasma membrane another name for the cell membrane Cytoskeleton network of fibers that hep maintain cell shape and assist with cell division and cell transport Chloroplast organelle that contains chlorophyll, a light-absorbing pigment used in photosynthesis Central vacuole stores a large amount of water in plant cells Cell wall surrounds the cell membrane in plants and some prokaryotes Cilia tiny hair-like projections that flutter to create movement Flagella long whip-like tail used for movement Centrioles specialized protein fibers used in cell division in animal cells Decide if each cell organelle belongs with a plant cell, animal cell, or is found in both. Sort each to its proper category. Plant cells cell wall chloroplasts large vacuoles Animal cells smaller vacuoles centrioles Both plant and animal cells Mitochondria ribosomes cell membrane nucleus Label the plant cell using the following words: ribosome, cell wall, nucleus, chloroplast, and central vacuole. Spelling counts! nucleus vacuole chloroplast ribosome cell wall Label the animal cell using the following words: vacuole, nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria. Spelling counts! mitochondria vacuole nucleus cell membrane Select the best answer for each question.Cell organelles are located within the _ of the cell. nucleus ribosome cytoplasm vacuoles In animal cells like the one shown, which organelle is responsible for packaging and distributing proteins for the cell? nucleus cell membrane ribosome golgi apparatus The diagram shows a plant cell with a very large vacuole (I), a cell wall (II), a nucleus (III), and chloroplasts (IV). Which cell structure is most likely to be most similar in animal cells? I Vacuole II Cell wall III Nucleus IV Chloroplast A scientist discovers an unlabeled petri dish with a sample of cells.Using a microscope, she carefully observes the cells from the dish. She notes the following structures:cell wall large vacuoles nucleus some chloroplasts cytoplasm cell membraneFrom her observations, which of the following can be concluded? The cells are from a human. The cells are bacteria cultures. The cells are from a plant. The cells are from an animal.
