Cell Story

You are a scientist shrunk to microscope size on a mission to save "Cell City" from a mysterious virus that has disrupted its critical functions.To save the city, you have to navigate through its different organelles, solve challenges, and restore their functions.

to save Cell City

This is the nucleus.It is the control center that contains DNA, the genetic material of the cell.The virus has scrambled the DNA sequence.Can you answer the following question to fix it?

• Item

Nucleus-Control Center

Multiple Choice

Question 1 : What is the main function of nucleus?

• protects, supports and gives shape

• releases energy through respiration

• controls activities of the cell

• produces energy

Labelling

Question 2 : Which of the following choices is the structure shown in the picture.

Drag labels to their correct position on the image

vacuole

chloroplast

Cytoplasm

ribosome

This is a mitochondrion.The virus has cut off the mitochondria's energy production.Without this energy, Cell City is losing power!Let's help the mitochondria restart its engines.

​Mitochondrion- Powerhouse

Match

Question 3 : Match the following content using different types of cell with a large amount of mitochondria.

• contraction

• high level of metabolic activities

• absorption

  of minerals

enzymes-secreting cell

muscle cell

liver cell

root hair cell

• enzymes-secreting cell

• muscle cell

• liver cell

• root hair cell

The vacuoles are leaking and Cell City is losing its water and nutrients. Patch them up to restore balance.

​Vacuole-Storage unit

Multiple Choice

Question 4 : What is the function of large central vacuole in plant cell?

• controls the movement into and out of the cell

• provides support to the plant

• provides a site for chemical reactions to take place

• activates some enzymes

​The endoplasmic reticulum is like the highway system of Cell City.However, the roads are blocked.Clean the way and restore transport by solving the question.

​Oh no...

Fill in the Blank

Question 6 : Ribosome is __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

The cell mebrane is no longer speed up what enters and exits Cell City. Help it restore order before harmful substances invade.

​Cell Membrane-The gatekeeper

Multiple Choice

Question 7 : What is the role of cell membrane?

• produces energy

• breaks down waste

• stores proteins

• controls the movement into and out of the cell

Cytoplasm allows for movement throughout the city, but it is invaded by the virus and the roads in Cell City are blocked.Answer the question to help unblock the roads.

​Cytoplasm-Road system

Multiple Choice

Question 8 : Which of the following is found within the cytoplasm?
