Hint	Answer	% Correct
Genetic code that creates proteins (blueprints of life)	DNA	90%
Controls cell activities and contains genetic information	Nucleus	88%
The cite of Aerobic respiration (the power house of the cell)	Mitochondria	76%
Gel like medium that contains organelles, water and salt	Cytoplasm	63%
A structural feature that contains cellulose	Cell Wall	61%
The site of photosynthesis	Chloroplast	54%
When the genetic material condenses it creates this structure. You should have 23 from each parent in every cell	Chromosome	54%
The name for the membrane of above	Nuclear Envelope	51%
The green, photosynthetic pigment that absorbs sunlight in above	Chlorophyll	50%
A large organelle in plant cells that stores water and waste products while maintaining structural form	Vacuole	50%
An organelle that packages proteins into above. Is also essential in exocytosis	Golgi Apparatus	42%
tail like organelle used for extracellular movement (found mostly in prokaryotes)	Flagella	38%
A specialized version of below that contains digestive enzymes	Lysosome	36%
A smaller version of the large organelle that contains water. This version that can transport materials around the cell	Vesicle	30%
Folds within above that increase cell metabolism through increasing the SA:V ratio	Cristae	29%

Exist in large quantities and can bind mRNA to tRNA to create a polypeptide chain. This chain later becomes a protein	Ribosome	28%
Is made up of many passages and functions to transport materials around the cell. It appears to be rough because it has many of above attached to it's surface	Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum	26%
The membrane that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell	Cell membrane	24%
The liquid minus the organelles and membranes	Cytosol	24%
The site of rRNA Synthesis for Eukaryotes	Nucleolus	23%
Is able to synthesis lipids and is described as smooth	Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum	23%
Structure that helps move above to either side in cell division	Centrioles	21%
The fluid that surrounds the flattened sacs	Stroma	21%
The protein channels that regulate molecule transportation in above	Nuclear Pores	19%
The flattened sacs within above that collectively are known as grana	Thylakoids	19%
The protein that genetic material wraps around to control gene expression	Histone	18%
Similar to genetic material but is smaller and can transport genetic code from its membrane bound environment to the site of protein synthesis	RNA	15%
These molecules make up the structure of above and have hydrophobic tails	Phospholipids	13%
Gives the cell it's shape, facilitates movement and cuts the cell during the latest stage of cell division (cytokinesis)	Cytoskeleton	12%
Fibers that that come out of above to attach to the condensed genetic material	Spindle Fibers	12%
Gene products, These structures are made of amino acids and control most functions in the cell	Proteins	11%
An enzyme that joins genetic material together after being transcribed for protein synthesis or replicated	Ligase	8%
Enzyme that binds genetic material with nucleotides or mRNA to replicate or transport genetic information	Polymerase	8%
Everything inside the cell minus the exterior membrane	Protoplasm	8%
protein components of above composed of actin that keep organelles in place and control muscle movement	Microfilaments	7%
The enzyme that splits genetic material to allow replication or transportation of the genetic code	Helicase	6%
another protein component that provides structure and for the cell and assists in transporting organelles in cell division	Microtubules	6%
Restricts the movement of above to prevent large substances moving through the membrane	Sterol	5%
Cushions and respond to stimuli as well as being vital in cell recognition	Glycolipids	2%
