Organelle Learning Check

This organelle controls what the cell does because it holds the chromosomes.

•  nucleus

• ribosome

• cell membrane

• vacuole

 Every single cell has this thin layer surrounding it and letting things in and out.

• nucleus

• ribosome

• cell membrane

• vacuole

 These organelles are like power plants, turning food into energy for the cell.

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• cell membrane

• vacuole

 These tiny organelles are like a team of construction workers, building protein molecules.

• nucleus

• ribosome

• cell membrane

• vacuole

 Only plant cells have these green organelles, which can use sunlight to make food.

• cell wall

• ribosome

• cell membrane

• chloroplast

 All cells contain this gel-like filling.

• lysosome

• mitochondria

• cytoplasm

• chloroplast

Plant cells have this thick, box-like outer layer that locks together with other cells for shape and support.

• vacuole

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• chloroplast

This large organelle works with ribosomes to build materials and move them around the inside of the cell.

• golgi body

• cell wall

• lysosome

• endoplasmic recticulum

These organelles use chemicals to break down large particles, like food, into smaller ones.

• golgi body

• cell wall

• lysosome

• endoplasmic recticulum

These organelles store extra materials, like water, until the cell needs them.
