CATEGORIZE QUESTION
3 mins • 2 pts
Sort the following organelles into categories based on if they are found in animal cells, plant cells, or both.
Groups:
(a) Animal Cell
,
(b) Plant Cell
,
(c) Both
Multiple Smaller Vacuoles
Mitochondria
Nucleus
Large Central Vacuole
Lysosomes
Cell Membrane
Ribosomes
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Centrosomes
Cell Wall
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Cytoplasm
Chloroplasts
Golgi Apparatus
Answer explanation
The only organelles found exclusively in animal cells are centrosomes and lysosomes. Chloroplasts and cell walls are found exclusively in plant cells. Vacuoles differ in their size and function in plant and animal cells, so they are categorized separately. Animal cells contain smaller vacuoles such as secretary vacuoles for transport and plant cells store water in large central vacuoles. All other listed organelles will be present in both cell types.

The rough ER is different from the smooth ER due to the presence of _________.
Answer explanation
The rough ER is different from the smooth ER due to the presence of ribosomes. The rough ER contains ribosomes attached to its surface, which are responsible for protein synthesis. This distinguishes it from the smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes. The presence of ribosomes on the rough ER allows it to produce proteins that are then transported to other parts of the cell or secreted outside the cell. This specialized function of the rough ER sets it apart from the smooth ER.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

This organelle is composed of two centrioles.
Mitochondria
Centrosome
Golgi apparatus
Nucleus
Answer explanation
The centrosome is an organelle composed of two centrioles. It is responsible for organizing microtubules during cell division. This organelle plays a crucial role in the formation of the mitotic spindle, which helps separate chromosomes during cell division. The centrosome is not the same as mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, or the nucleus. It is specifically composed of centrioles and has a distinct function in the cell.

DROPDOWN QUESTION
1 min • 1 pt
The (a) is only present in (b) . It is (c) and provides (d) to the cell.
animal cells
cell membrane
semi-permeable
energy
Answer explanation
The question asks about the organelle that is only present in one specific cell and provides something to the cell. The correct answer is the cell wall, which is permeable and provides structure and support to the cell. All other answers are incorrect as structure and support and cell wall are the only function and organelle that align together.

What is the structure and function of lysosomes? In which type of cell are they present?
Lysosomes are organelles that store energy. They function to produce ATP and are present in plant cells.
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain genetic material. They function to replicate DNA and are present in prokaryotic cells.
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They function to break down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign substances. Lysosomes are present in animal cells.
Lysosomes are vesicles that transport proteins. They function to synthesize proteins and are present in fungal cells.
Answer explanation
The question asks about the structure and function of lysosomes and in which type of cell they are present. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They function to break down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign substances. This correct choice highlights the role of lysosomes in cellular digestion and their presence in animal cells.
