Cell structure and function

It encloses the cell and acts like a gatekeeper, allowing some materials to pass through it but not others.

• chloroplast

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

Organelles where photosynthesis occurs, are green due to chlorophyll pigment found in them

• chloroplasts

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

A gel-like fluid that takes up most of the space inside the cell. The organelles are found scattered through it.

• chloroplasts

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

A fluid like vesicle that stores water and provides support for the cell

• mitochondrion

• large central vacuole

• endoplasmic reticulum

• cytoplasm

Power house of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy production) and cellular respiration in plants and animals.

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• nucleus

The structure locates in plant and animal cells that is home to DNA, where new cells are made and directs cell activity

• ribosome

• mitochondria

• vacuole

• nucleus

Where proteins are made in the cells

• ribosomes

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• chloroplast

Small structures in the cytoplasm that do special jobs

• nucleus

• ribosomes

• organelles

• endoplasmic reticulum

Sac like structures that store materials such as water, salts, proteins and sugars

• nucleus

• ribosomes

• cytoplasm

• vacuoles

Function of the cell membrane to block the movement of certain sizes, shapes and kinds of particles from entering into the cell

• permeable

• impermeable

• semi-permeable
