Parts of a Cell ReviewSNC2D

Question 3:In plant cells, this part of the cell stores

water causing the plant to become firm

Vacuole

Question 14: Name at least two life processes that cells

need to maintain.

• Intake of nutrients, movement, growth, response to environment (stimuli), exchange of gases, waste removal, reproduction

Question 1:Which part of the cell supplies the energy

for the cell by converting energy in sugar into energy that the cell can use?

Mitochondria

Question 2:Which part of the cell is made up of a

double layer of lipids (fat-like molecules)?

Cell Membrane

Question 5:Contains chlorophyll, which uses energy

from the Sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen

chloroplast

Question 4:These fibers help the cell to maintain its

shape

cytoskeleton

Question 6:This is where proteins are assembled

ribosomes

Question 7:The organelles are suspended in this

substance. It contains nutrients for the cell

cytoplasm

Question 10:The function of this organelle is to modify,

sort, and package proteins for delivery throughout the cell

Golgi Apparatus

Question 9:Control center of the cell, controlling

growth and reproduction. Also contains DNA.

Nucleus

Question 15: This contains the nutrients required by the

cell to carry out life processes.

Cytoplasm

Question 8:These organelles use enzymes to digest

nutrients. These organelles also break down bacteria and damaged cell organelles

Lysosomes

Question 11:This organelle carries materials

throughout the cells

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 18:This organelle looks like a stack of pancakes

Golgi Apparatus

Question 16: This organelle contains pores on the outside

to allow the transport of materials

Nucleus

Question 13:This organelle is only found in plant cells. It is

a rigid frame around the cell that provides strength, protection, and support for the cell.

Cell Wall

Question 12:This organelle is associated with the

production of fats and oils

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 17:This organelle is also known as the “clean-up

system” in the cell

5 Differences Between Plants and Animals

• Plants cells contain chlorophyll, animal cells do not

• Plants cells contain large vacuole in the centre of the cell; animal cells vacuoles are much smaller

• Plant cells store energy in the form of starch or oils; animal cells store energy in the form of carbohydrates or fats

• Animal cells have specialized compounds such as cholesterol

• Animal cells contain centrioles (used in mitosis)
