Cell organelle allows materials into and out of cell. It is a thin, flexible outer covering of a cell. | Cell membrane |
Cell organelle that is a gel-like fluid made up mostly of water and holds the cell organelles. | Cytoplasm |
Cell organelle that holds the genetic material and is the control center of a cell. | Nucleus |
Cell organelle that acts like a temporary storage center. Holds water, food, or waste. | Vacuole |
Cell organelle that contains chlorophyll and is the site where photosynthesis takes place. | Chloroplast |
The green pigments found in organism that aid in photosynthesis. | Chloropyll |
Cell organelle that is the energy producing sites in cells where respiration takes place. | Mitochondria |
Cell organelle made up mostly of cellulose, that provides support and shape for plant cells. | Cell Wall |
Cell organelle that is responsible for digesting certain materials within the cell. | Lysosomes |
Cell transport that moves materials from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Involves water, food, & sugar. | Diffusion |
Cell transport that is the movement of water from an area of higher conentration to an area of lower concentration. Involves the movement of only water. | Osmosis |
The name for the genetic material found in the nucleus. | DNA |
The process that converts sunlight into food with the aid of chlorophyll. | photosynthesis |
The process that breaks down glucose to release energy in a cell. | cellular respiration |
Process that takes place in the nucleus that results in a duplicate copy of the cell. | Mitosis |
