---|---|
What structure controls all of the activities going on within the cell? | Nucleus |
What structure is only found in plant cells and gives the plant cell support and allows it to grow? | Cell Wall |
The structure protects the nucleus. | Nuclear Membrane |
The cell structures that help a cell to function and is located in the cytoplasm is what? | Organelles |
What is the site for all chemical reactions that take place in the cell? | Cytoplasm |
This allows materials to pass in and out of the cell. | Cell Membrane |
The powerhouse of the cell that supplies the cell with all of the energy it needs is called what? | Mitochondria |
What structure makes ribosomes for the cell? | Nucleolus |
