The cell is the basic unit of life. all cells come from pre-existing cells all living things are made of cells all cells are the same Which of the following organelles will NOT be found in a prokaryotic cell? DNA ribosomes nucleus cell membrane Which of the following organelles is found only in plant cells and carries out the process of photosynthesis? chloroplast ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum vacuole Animal Cell Label the parts of the cell. Only label the BLINKING blue dots. Use the following words: mitochondria, cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, lysosome cell membrane mitochondria cytoplasm nucleus lysosome Plant Cell Label the parts of the cell. Only label the BLINKING blue dots. Use the following words: chloroplasts, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, vacuole, nucleus, mitochondria. cell wall chloroplasts vacuole mitochondria cytoplasm cell membrane nucleus Cell Structure and Function Match the cell structure to its correct function. cell membrane Controls what comes in and out of a cell; found in both plant and animal cells. cell wall Ridged outer layer of a plant cell. mitochondria Produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions. cytoplasm Gel-like fluid where organelles are found. lysosomes Use chemicals (enzymes) to break down food and worn out cell parts. vacuoles Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials chloroplasts Captures energy from the sun and uses it to produce food in plant cells ribosome makes protein nucleus Control center of the cell; contains the DNA (genetic material)
