Students were to fill in the blank between 30 and 45 of their choice based on their behavior grade. ( or to do more for extra credit.)

Organelles

A. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
1. Eukaryotic cells have organelles, prokaryotic cells don't.
2. In eukaryotic cells, organelles are used to breakdown materials, produce energy, and eliminate wastes.
3. Cells with a nucleus are eukaryotic.
4. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have cell membranes, cytoplasm, and hereditary material.5. Of the two types of cells, all eukaryotic cells have organelles and nuclei.6. Cells without a nucleus are prokaryotic.7. The two kinds of cells are prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
B. Cell membrane
1. The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
2. In plant cells, the cell membrane is located just inside the cell wall.
3. The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell through special proteins embedded in a double layered fat-like substance.
4. The cell membrane is made up of two layers of fat-like molecules. (Phospholipid bilayer)

C. Cytoplasm
1Cytoplasm is everything inside the cell membrane and outside the nucleus.
2. Cytoplasm is a thick substance containing cell parts found between the cell membrane and nuclear membrane.

D. Nucleus
1. The nucleus directs every activity of the cells.
2. The nucleus stores the genetic code for all the structures produced and activities carried out by the cell.
3. In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is surrounded by a membrane with openings to allow certain substances in and out.

E. Genetic material
1. The long thread like pieces of material that contains the code for the cell's structure and activities are called chromosomes.
2. During cell division the DNA forms structures called chromosomes.
1. The chromosomes in the nucleus are the instructions for the products and activities of a cell.
2. Chromosomes are made of DNA wrapped around proteins.

F. Nucleolus
1. The nucleolus makes ribosome parts that leave the nucleus through pores and are assembled in the cytoplasm.
2. The nucleolus located in the nucleus and makes ribosome parts.
3. The nucleolus is found in the nucleus.

G. Endoplasmic reticulum
1. The endoplasmic reticulum is a series of folded membranes that moves substances around the cell.
2. The Endoplasmic extends from the nucleus to the cell membrane.

H. Ribosome
1. Ribosomes are either free floating or are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
2.Ribosomes make proteins.

I. Golgi body
1.Golgi bodies are flat stacks of membranes associated with the endoplasmic reticulum.
2.Golgi bodies sort proteins and other cellular substances and package them into membrane-bound
structures called vesicles.

J. Vacuoles
1. Vacuoles are membrane sacs for temporary storage of needed materials.

K. Lysosome
1. Lysosomes contain digestive chemicals that help break down food molecules, cell wastes, and
worn-out cell parts.
2. Digestive chemicals in the lysosomes are released and breaks down a cell when it dies.

L. Mitochondria
1.Mitochondria release the energy in food to a form the cell can use called ATP.
2. The more active a cell is the more mitochondria it will have.
3. Mitochondria require oxygen to release the energy in food to make ATP.
4. Mitochondria are organelles that have an outer membrane, a folded inner membrane and an inside space.

M. Cytoskeleton
1. The framework inside a cell is called the cytoskeleton.
2. Animal cells get their shape from cytoskeletons.
3. The cytoskeleton is made of protein tubes and fibers.
4. Cytoskeletons give cells: structure, maintains shape, and sometimes enables movement.
5. The cytoskeleton is a network of tiny fibers throughout the cytoplasm.

N. Cell wall
1. Cell walls in plants are made of a tough, rigid mesh of cellulose fibers.
2. The cell walls of plants are made of cellulose.
3. If there is a cell wall, it will be outside of the cell membrane.
4. The function of cell wall is to give the cell shape, structure, and protection.
5. Plants, algae, fungi, and most bacteria have cell walls, animal cells don't.

O. Chloroplasts
1. Through the process of photosynthesis, chloroplasts use the energy from light to joint water and carbon
dioxide to make a sugar called glucose.
2. Chloroplasts can be described as a green shield or football shaped organelles.
3. The energy supply for almost all animal food chains comes from chloroplasts.
4.Chlorophyll in chloroplasts captures light energy that is use to make a sugar called glucose.

P. Organelle
1. Most organelles are enclosed in membranes.
2. Most organelles are surrounded by membrane that mediate important cellular processes.
3. In eukaryotic cells, organelles are found in the cytoplasm.
