Final Answer:
- Location of protein synthesis: Ribosomes
- Provides cell activity instructions: Nucleus
- Plays a central role in protein production and quality control: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Responsible for lipid production and synthesis and does not contain ribosomes unlike ER: Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Responsible for breaking down sugar into energy for the cell to use and is often referred to as the cell’s “powerhouse”: Mitochondria
- Responsible for producing sugar for the cell through the process of photosynthesis: Chloroplast
- Series of flattened sacs that aid in sorting proteins synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum: Golgi apparatus
- Stores excess calcium or calcium oxalate, which can make the plant poisonous to humans in high amounts: Druse Crystal
- Thick liquid that fills cell spaces to maintain its structure: Cytoplasm
- Plants typically have one of these that stores waste, water, and nutrients: Central Vacuole
- Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell and is located within the cell wall: Cell Membrane
- Cell’s outer covering, protects and shapes the cell: Cell Wall
- Involved in the synthesis and production of ribosomes, functioning as the “brain” of the nucleus: Nucleolus
- Stores starch for plants: Amyloplast
