Chapter 7: Cell Structure and Function
| A | B |
|---|---|
| vacuole | a cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates |
| chloroplast | an organelle found in the cells of plants and some other organisms that uses energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food molecules by photosynthesis |
Which structure in the plant cell shown here stores materials such as water salts proteins and carbohydrates?
Vacuoles – stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. In many plant cells, there is a single large vacuole filled with water. Mitochondria – convert chemical energy stored in food into compounds that the cell can use; it is the “powerhouse” of the cell.
Which sac like organelle is typically used to store water sugars or other materials?
Cell Structure
| A | B |
|---|---|
| vacuole | stores water, waste products, food, and other cellular materials |
| Golgi bodies | membranes that sort protein |
| lysosome | breaks down food molecules, cell wastes, and worn-out cell parts |
| compound light microscope | uses light and one or more lenses to view cells |
What cell structure stores materials in cells?
Cells have vesicles called vacuoles that act as temporary storage for materials in the cytoplasm. Vacuoles can store food and other material needed by a cell. They can also store wastes. Plant cells normally have one large vacuole.
Which structure stores materials such as water?
Vacuole: Organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Which organelle allows materials such as water in and out of the cell?
through the cell membrane. ▶ The cell membrane lets in food, water, oxygen and nutrients. through the cell membrane.
Do vacuoles store water?
Vacuoles – Storage Bins to the Cells They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. Plants may also use vacuoles to store water. Those tiny water bags help to support the plant.
What organelle stores materials such as water?
In which organelle would water and dissolved materials be stored?
▶ Vacuole- stores water, food, waste, and other materials. cell. vacuoles.
What do vesicles store and move between cells?
Vesicles store and move materials between cell organelles and to and from the surface of the cell. Found only in animals, lysosomes are essential for digestion.
Where are vacuoles found in a plant cell?
Vacuoles are large, sac-like membranes found in plants. They are used in the processes storage and excretion; they store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. In plant cells, there is a single, central vacuole.
How are microfilaments used to support the cell?
Microfilaments are thread-like structures made up of a specific protein called actin. They are used for supporting the cell through the formation of extensive protein networks. Microtubules, also used for support, are hollow structures that look like small tubes. They are made up of tubulins, which are a type of protein.
How are cells the basic units of living things?
-all living things are made up of cells -cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things -new cells are produced from existing cells cell membrane thin flexible barrier, aka the plasma membrane; regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also protects and supports the cell nucleus
