1. The _______________________________ is the brain of the cell. It contains DNA which contains all the
information for the cell’s function and structure.
2. The _________________________________ is the battery of the cell – it provides all the energy for the cell.
3. ____________________________________ are the construction workers of the cell – they take information
copied from DNA in the form of RNA and use these instructions to produce proteins.
4. _____________________________________ is the highway of the cell – they transport proteins and other
necessary materials around the cell. If ribosomes are attached to it, it is then known as the
_____________________________.
5. Only a plant cell has a ___________________________, a tough outer layer that gives the cell more structural
support so it can stand up against the pressure of vesicles inflated with water
6. The ______________________ is the stomach and the liver of the cell – it digests incoming nutrients and
destroys toxins or waste in the cell.
7. The __________________________ is the skin of the cell – it forms the outer layer in animal cells.
8. ______________________________ are only found in plant cells and act to create energy from sunlight.
9. _______________________________ is a dark spot in the nucleus and is the site of rRNA used to create
ribosomes.
10. _______________________________ are storage sites for water, nutrients and proteins in a cell.
11. _____________________________________act as the skeleton and the muscles of the cell - they allow
animal cells to move and change shape.
12. _______________________________ is the fluid that all the organelles float around in. It contains dissolved
molecules that are necessary for cell function.
13. __________________________________ is the “Fed-ex” of the cell – it prepares and packages proteins
created by the cell for excretion out of the cell.
