Use the word bank below to fill in the diagram. **spelling capitalization matter**cell membrane cytoplasm nucleus vacuolecell wall golgi rough ERchloroplast mitochondria smooth ER smooth ER vacuole cytoplasm cell membrame chloroplast golgi apparatus mitochondria rough ER nucleus cell wall Cell Organelles - Match that Organelle Mitochondria I am the powerhouse of the cell. I am responsible for generating the cell’s ATP energy. Cell Membrane I control what enters and leaves the cell. Some substances, such as water and oxygen, can pass through me but other substances cannot. Cytoplasm I am the jelly-like substance inside the cell. I help keep the cell from collapsing and I contain many important substances that are needed for chemical reactions. Smooth ER You can find me in many different cells types and my role in each differs. I make lipids, phospholipids and steroids. Compared to my rough friends, I’m smooth because I don't have ribosomes. Nucleus I am the control centre of the cell. I contain DNA that controls what the cell does and when. Ribosomes I am the protein builder. My job is extremely important, as proteins are needed for many functions within the cell and the whole organism. As a construction guy I connect one amino acid at a time to build long protein chains. Rough ER I am a network of structures responsible for the synthesis and transport of proteins. They call me rough because I’m surrounded by ribosomes. Golgi Apparatus I am a packaging center within the cell (like the UPS). I combine simple molecules to make complex molecules for packaging in vesicles. Sometimes these vesicles are transported out of the cell. I also look like a stack of pancakes! Lysosome I am the waste disposal system of the cell. I am responsible for the digestion and removal of macromolecules the cell no longer needs. I also breakdown the bacteria that enters the cell. I am the destroyer! Chloroplasts I am oval in shape and am home to a green substance called chlorophyll. I help trap sunlight to make food for my boss. While I am exclusive to plants, you will not find me in all plant cells. Vacuole I store water and dissolved substances within my walls. I am present in both animal and plant cells, however I’m much large in the latter. Cell Wall I am the tough covering around plant cells. I give them strength and hold them in shape. I am made of a carbohydrate called cellulose. You will not find me in an animal cell. Identify the characteristics of a Eukaryotic Cell. Mark all that are correct. nucleus no nucleus membrane bound organelles no membrane bound organelles DNA mitochondria chloroplast rough ER smooth ER ribosomes cell membrane vacuole
