Students have been assigned to write reports on cell organelles. Erics report is about the organelle that supports and gives structure to plant cells. Which organelle is Eric writing about?

• Cell wall

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

• Lysosome

Which of the following best describes the function of mitochondria?

Because plants can’t search out sources of water, Madison wonders what special adaptations they must have for STORING water. In plants, this is reflected in the larger size of what organelle?

• Vacuole

• Cell wall

• Golgi apparatus

• Ribosomes

Which of the following best describes the function of vacuoles?

• Regulating what enters and exits the cell

• Transporting proteins

• Storing materials in a cell

• Breaking down waste

The unique structure and chemical composition of individual organelles in plant and animal cells allow them to perform distinct functions within the cell. Large, round, water-filled sacs in the cytoplasm that function as the storage areas of the cell are known as which of the following?

• Nucleus

• Endoplasmic reticulum

• Cytoplasm

• Vacuole
