LESSON - Cell Organelles

​All living things are composed of cells

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT composed of cells?

• Leaves

• Rabbits

• Plastic Bag

• Bacteria

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT part of the cell theory?

• Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things

• All cells arise from pre-existing cells

• All living things are composed of cells

• Cells exist only in multicellular organisms

​Cell Organelles : Small structures that perform specific functions in the cell

Nucleus: CONTROLS the cell, contains the cell's DNA (genetic material)

​Mitochondria: performs ENERGY CONVERSIONS

Multiple Choice

Which organelle is responsible for storing the cells genetic material?

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

Multiple Choice

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell because it completes all of the energy conversions.

• Agree

• Disagree

Multiple Choice

What is the function of the nucleus?

• Absorbing sunlight

• Controls the cell and contains the genetic material

• Performs energy conversions

• Produces sugars

Cell Membrane: REGULATES what enters and exits the cell​

Cell Wall: provides SUPPORT and PROTECTION (only plant cells)

Cytoplasm: gel-like fluid that contains all of the water, nutrients and organelles in the cell

Multiple Choice

What is the main function of this organelle?

• Absorbing sunlight and sugars

• Regulating what comes in and out of the cell

• Storing water and nutrients

Multiple Choice

What is the cytoplasms main function?

• Absorb sunlight and sugars

• Provide structure and protection

• Solution of nutrients, water, and organelles inside the cell

• Perform energy conversions

Multiple Choice

Which type of cell contains a cell wall?

• Animal

• Plant

Multiple Choice

What is the main function of this cell organelle?

• Regulating what comes in and out of the cell

• Storing the cells nutrients and water

• Protecting and supporting the cell

• The solution of all the water, nutrients, and organelles inside the cell

Chloroplast: absorbs sunlight and produces sugars during photosynthesis (only plant cells)

Vacuole: STORES water, nutrients and minerals

Multiple Choice

What is the main function of the vacuole in a cell?

• Store water, nutrients, and minerals for the cell

• Absorb sunlight and produce sugars

• Regulate what enters and exits the cell

• Perform energy conversions

Multiple Choice

Why is the vacuole so much LARGER in plant cells?

• Because plants require more water to be stored in order to complete photosynthesis

• It is not larger, they are the same size in plant and animal cells

• Because plants have less organelles so there is more space in the cells for a larger vacuole

Multiple Choice

Which cell organelle is responsible for photosynthesis is a plant?

• Vacuole

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

Multiple Choice

Vacuoles store water and nutrients in plant cells only.

• Agree

• Disagree

Multiple Choice

If a cell was an amusement park, what part of the park would have a similar function to the cell membrane?

• Trash cans

• Rollercoasters

• Food court

• Gates the the park

Multiple Choice

If a cell was an amusement park, what part of the park would have a similar function to the mitochondria?

• Generators that power the rides

• Rollercoasters

• Trash Cans

Multiple Choice

Why do plants need a chloroplast, but animals do not?

• Chloroplasts help plants with photosynthesis, a process animals do not do

• Chloroplasts are a gel-like fluid that animal cells do not contain

• Chloroplasts are in plant and animal cells
