Your cell is running out of ATP, even though you have plenty of glucose! What organelle is malfunctioning?

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

• Chloroplast

• Cell Membrane

Harmful things that shouldn't be were entering the cell and finding their way through because this structure was breaking down

• Cell Membrane

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

Humans who have disorders of these organelles often feel lethargic, as though they have no energy

• Mitochondria

• Cell Membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Wall

• Flagella

• Chloroplast

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

Times are tough, and your cell needs to get some nutrients and proteins out of storage, but unfortunately nothing has been stored. Which organelle failed to act as storage?

• Vacuole

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

Without the direction of this main organelle, the cell would be out of control and wouldn't be able to divide.

• Nucleus

• Cell Membrane

• Vacuole

• Cytoplasm

Some bacteria damage plants by releasing enzymes that break down this protective, strong outer barrier.

• Cell Wall

• Nucleus

• Vacuole

• Mitochondria

If these organelles are absent or malfunctioning, the plant cell will be unable to produce food for itself.

• Chloroplast

• Cell Membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Vacuole

My Cell Analogy Project is done and I'm ready to move on to Cell Transport

• Of course!

• No, I'll have to work on an alternate assignment.
