Cell Organelles - practice for the test

AB
cell wallprovides structure, shape and protection
cell membranecontrols the movement of substances into and out of the cell
cytoplasma gell-like liquid in which the other organelles float
nucleusthe control center of the cell
nuclear membraneprovides protection for the chromosomes
chormosomesmade of DNA, are the instructions for the cell's activities
nucleolusmakes ribosomes
mitochondriacarry out cellular respiration to provide energy for the cell's activities
endoplasmic reticulumtubular passageways for substances
vacuolesmembrane sacs for storage of substances
lysosomesmembrane sacs that breakdown substances
Golgi bodiescollect substances and ship them off in small vacuoles
ribosomesproduce proteins for the cell
chloroplastscarry out photosynthesis for plant cells making food for the plant
difussionmovement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
osmosisthe movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
selectively permeablelets some substances through but not others
active transportmoving a substance through the cell membrane using energy at special protein sites in the cell membrane
