Cell Theory and Organelles

1. Please type in your FIRST and LAST name.

2. A ribosome is responsible for:

• making lipids for the membrane
• making proteins
• releasing energy as ATP
• breaking down dead material
• controlling the activities of the cell

3. This animal cell organelle has the capability of breaking down food, bacteria, and wastes with its digestive enzymes.

• nucleolus
• centriole
• vacuole
• lysosome
• vesicle

4. The nucleolus is responsible for:

• making lipids for the membrane
• releasing energy as ATP
• breaking down dead material
• controlling the activities of the cell
• containing rRNA to make ribosomes

• central vacuole

6. The cytoskeleton is known for:

• providing structure within cytoplasm
• making lipids for the membrane
