quiz organelles

• Function: Provides structural support, helps maintain cell shape, and facilitates cell movement.

• Components: Microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments.

• nucleo

• peroxisomes

• cytoskeleton

• vacuoles

• Function: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport within or outside the cell.

• ribosomes

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• golgi appartatus

• Function: The "powerhouse of the cell," producing energy through cellular respiration.

• Key Features: Contains a double membrane and has its own DNA.

• golgi apparatus

• ribosomes

• mitochondria

• endoplasmic reticulum

• Function: Network of membrane-enclosed sacs and tubules involved in protein synthesis, lipid synthesis, and calcium storage.

• Types: Rough ER (studded with ribosomes) and smooth ER (lacks ribosomes).

• nucleus

• golgi apparatus

• mitochondria

• endoplasmic reticulum

• Contain digestive enzymes to break down cellular waste and debris.

• cytoskeleton

• lysosomes

• ribosomes

• peroxisomes

• Function: Controls the cell's activities, stores genetic information (DNA), and produces ribosomes.

• Key Features: Contains the nucleolus, a region where ribosomes are assembled.

• nucleus

• ribosomes

• chloroplasts

• golgi apparatus

• Function: Break down fatty acids and toxic substances.

• vacuoles

• ribosomes

• peroxisomes

• cytoskeleton

• Function: Sites of protein synthesis.

• Key Features: Can be found free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

• endoplasmic reticulum

• peroxisomes

• ribosomes

• Function: Sites of photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

• Key Features: Contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs sunlight.

• golgi apparatus

• chloroplasts

• lysosomes

• mitochondria

• Function: Storage of water, nutrients, and waste products. In plant cells, they are much larger and play a role in maintaining cell turgor.

• vacuoles

• mitochondria

• nucleolo

• chloroplasts
