- cell (plasma) membrane: L - regulates what enters and exits the cell
- cell wall: A - provides structural support and protection
- cytoplasm: D - gel-like substance that holds organelles and is site of many cellular processes
- golgi complex: I - modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery
- chloroplast: G - conducts photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy
- mitochondria: E - produces energy (ATP) through cellular respiration
- nucleus: J - contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities
- nucleolus: K - produces ribosomes
- ribosome: C - synthesizes proteins
- rough endoplasmic reticulum: H - synthesizes and transports proteins; studded with ribosomes
- smooth endoplasmic reticulum: F - synthesizes lipids and detoxifies chemicals
- vacuole: B - stores water, ions, nutrients, and waste; maintains turgor pressure in plant cells
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of cell worksheet answers.
