Cell Structure and Functions

2. large and complex, dozens of structures and internal membrane, genetic material inside nucleus, unicellular or multcellular
7. located only in plant cells, site of photosynthesis, green from the pigment chlorophyll
8. mains cell shape, moves cell parts, helps cells move
11. site where amino acids are brought for protein synthesis, located on ER or free floating in cytoplasm
12. this term means little organs
15. wall located only in plants, provides structure, support, and protection for plants
17. smaller and simpler, genetic material isn't in nucleus, less complicated, single celled (ex: bacteria)
19. filled with enzymes, breaks down carbohydrates, proteins, & lipids, breaks down the cell when it's damaged or old
20. only present in animal cells, aids in cell division
21. storage, more abundant in plant cells, but still present in some animal cells, can store water, salts, protein, & carbohydrates

1. cell has a soft membrane outside that allows for fluids and nutrients to easily come inside the cell, and allows for wastes to be easily transported out
3. having or consisting of one cell
4. similar to vacuoles, stores materials
5. cell has a protective outer "wall" that prevents water from getting out easily
6. having or consisting of many cells
9. endoplasmic reticulum / portion of the ER that doesn't have ribosomes, contains collections of enzymes that detoxify drugs
10. envelope surrounds nucleus, double membrane, contains 1000s pores to let molecules in and out
13. apparatus modify, sort, and package proteins, enter after leaving the ER
14. nearly all the cell's DNA is located in this organelle, red blood cells don't have this, control center
15. the protoplasm outside the nucleus of a cell
16. site of cellular respiration, where chemical energy is released for the body's use, power house of the cell, located in both plant and animal cells
18. endoplasmic reticulum portion of the ER involved in synthesis of proteins, contains ribosomes
