All Things Cells

What best describes a cell?

• basic unit of all living things

• building blocks of elements

• non-living structures that need a host to survive

• group of organs working together

What best describes the organelles within a cell?

• If one fails, another one takes it place.

• Organelles have jobs and functions unrelated to each other and do not rely on one another

• Organelles have specific jobs and functions and they work together to maintain homeostasis of the cell.

• Each organelle has the same job

• mitochondria

Which organelle is found in both plants and animal cells, but is larger in plants and is used as a temporary storage site?

• chloroplast

• lysosome

• vacuole

• nucleolus

A cell that requires a lot of energy in order to function would have many of these structures:

• chloroplasts

• mitochondria

• nucleus

• vacuoles

Which organelle comes in two versions and is responsible for making and transporting things like lipids and proteins?

• endoplasmic reticulum

• nucleolus

• golgi body

• vesicles

Which structure in a cell is like a little post office and modifies, packages, and transports materials, such as proteins?

• endoplasmic reticulum

• golgi apparatus

• nucleus
