Cell Organelle Quiz

The organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins is the

• Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

• Golgi apparatus

• Ribosome

• Lysosome

Which structure is the site of protein synthesis?

• Golgi apparatus

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Nucleus

Gel-like fluid inside the cell that holds the components of the cell and protects them from damage

• Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

• Golgi apparatus

• Rough Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

• Cytoplasm

ENERGY!!!! The organelle where sugar is turned into usable energy (ATP)

• Vacuoles

• Lysosomes

• Mitochondria

• Chromosomes

What is the network of proteins that helps the cell maintain shape and cell movement called?

• Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

• Cytoskeleton

• Cytoplasm

• Vesicle

How do proteins travel between organelles?

• All of the organelles are connected so they follow the “chain.”

• They float freely in the cytoplasm to the next organelle.

• They are carried by vesicles to the next organelle.

• It depends on the circumstances.

Which cell structure is found in all eukaryotic cells and contains DNA?

• Nucleus

• Vacuole

• Vacuole

• Mitochondria

All of the following organelles are in plant cells EXCEPT

• Flagella

• Cell wall

• Chloroplasts

• Large vacuole

What is the function of a cell wall?

• To perform different functions in each cell

• To prevent water from passing through it

• To prevent oxygen from entering the cell

• To protect and support the cell

Plant cells have a large membrane-bound compartment in which water, waste products, and nutrients can be stored. This compartment is called the

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

• Golgi apparatus

• Central vacuole
