Answer Key 1. C 2. B 3. D 4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 8. Answers will vary. 9. Answers will vary.

nucleus This is the brain of the cell. It controls the cell’s activities.

cytoplasm This is the jelly-like substance that holds and protects the cell’s organelles.

vacuole This is a large sac that holds food, water and waste.

mitochondrion These structures are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they release energy.

chloroplast This green structures found only in plant cells use energy from the sun to make food.

cell wall This is the outer layer of a plant cell. It supports the cell.

Golgi Apparatus This structure packages and moves protein through the cell.

cell membrane This is the outer layer of an animal cell and it controls movement in and out of the cell.

Endoplasmic reticulum

There are two types of this structure: a smooth and a rough one.
