Write the name of the structure next to the correct description.

nucleus / The structure that controls all of the cells functions and contains the genetic information (chromosomes).
cell membrane / The thin film that controls the movement of molecules in and out of the cell, such as nutrients and waste.
cytoplasm / The watery fluid that fills the cell
vacuole / A fluid-filled space where water and nutrients can be stored.
cell wall / Found only in plants, this rigid structure protects and supports the cell. It has small openings called pores that allow material in and out.
chloroplast / These structures contain chlorophyll, which allows producers to convert sunlight into food energy.
flagellum / Some cells have a structure like a tail that helps the cell move.
cilia / Some cells have tiny hairlike structures that allow them to move or to create currents in the fluids around them.
