Big Ideas, Cell Parts, Living 1st Practice, 2025

Which cell part is responsible for transforming energy for the cell and creating ATP?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Golgi Apparatus

What is the structure of the Cell Wall?

• Rigid wall

• Double membrane sac

• Highly folded membranes

• Flattened sac of tubular membranes

What is the function of the Nucleus?

• Controls cell function because it contains the DNA

• Makes ribosomes which make proteins

• Site of chemical reactions, holds ribosomes

• Storage of water, sugar for the cell

What is the function of Chromosomes/Chromatin?

• Organizes genetic material

• Modifies, packages proteins

• Contains digestive enzymes

• Provides a framework for the cell

Which molecule holds genetic information for the cell?

• DNA

• Ribosome

• Cytoskeleton

• Cilia

What is the function of Ribosomes?

• Makes protein

• Controls cell function

• Storage of water, sugar for the cell

• Cell movement

What is the function of Lysosomes?

• Contain digestive enzymes, digest worn out cell parts, food, and engulfed virus and bacteria

• Controls what comes in and out of the cell

• Provides a framework for the cell

• Play a role in cell division

What is the function of Centrioles?

• Play a role in cell division

• Cell movement

• Modifies, packages proteins

• Transforms energy for the cell

What does the cell need to maintain in order to survive?

• Homeostasis

• Color

• Shape

• Size

All of the reactions that a cell does are referred to as:

• Metabolism

• Photosynthesis

• Respiration

• Mutation
