Parts of Cells

​

Eukaryotic Cells have Two Main Parts

• The Nucleus or Control Center

• The Organelles: Each has a specific job

Multiple Choice

Cells are made of

• organs

• tissues

• organelles

• organism

The Nucleus

• The control center

• Contains the DNA or Chromosomes

• Is covered be a nuclear membrane

• Contains the nucleolus where ribosomes are made

Multiple Choice

What controls what leaves and enters the nucleus?

• nucleolus

• ribosomes

• nuclear membrane

• DNA

Multiple Choice

The DNA or chromosomes are located

• in the nucleus

• in the nucleolus

• in the cell

• in the ribsosomes

The Endoplasmic Reticulum

• A series of channels or hallways; think of it as the assembly line!

• On the surface proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be made

• RER has ribosomes

• SER does not have ribosomes

• Ribosomes make proteins

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is capable of making proteins?

• SER

• RER

Multiple Choice

If the cell was a factory, the ER would be the

• control center

• powerhouse

• assembly line

• janitor

The Golgi Comples

• In charge of packaging and distribution

• Molecules made at the ER are "finished" at the Golgi Complex

• Vesicles move the molecules from place to place

• 
  

Multiple Choice

Before being packaged at the Golgi Body, proteins are made here

• RER

• Nucleus

• Nucleolus

• nuclear membrane

Multiple Choice

Molecules are moved from place to place in the cell inside of

• boxes

• bags

• vesicles

• vehicles

The Mitochondria

• The powerhouse of the cell

• Provides the cell with energy

• Has its own DNA!

• Found in plant and animal cells

Multiple Choice

Mitochondria can be found in both plant and animal cells.

• True

• False

The Chloroplast

• Where plants perform photosynthesis

• Are bigger than mitochondria

• Animal cells don't have thm

• Have their own DNA

Multiple Choice

Chloroplasts can be found in both plants and animals.

• True

• False

Centrioles

• Use by animal cells to help them divide and make new cells

• Occur in pairs

• Have their own DNA

• 
  

Multiple Select

Which have their own DNA?

• Centrioles

• Ribosomes

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplasts

• SER

Lysosomes

• Vesicles or little sacs that contain enzymes

• The enzymes help digest food

• Considered the Janitors of the cell

Vacuoles

• Found in both plant and animal cells

• Bigger in plant cells

• Contain water and dissolved substances

Flagella

• Looks like a tail

• Helps the cell move

• Called cilia when they are short and numerous

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is for movement?

• vacuole

• lysosome

• ribosome

• flagella

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the janitor?

• lysosome

• ribosome

• ER

• Vacuole

Cell Membrane

• Surrounds ALL cells

• Controls what enters and leaves the cell

• 
  

Cell Wall

• Found in plant cells for extra support

• May be found in prokaryotic cells

• Not found in animals cells

• Protects and supports the cell

Multiple Choice

Cell walls are found in animal cells, but not plant cells.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

All cells have a cell membrane.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

This is an example of a eukaryotic cell!

• True

• False
