Cell Organelles

What is the main function of the nucleus?

• Store genetic information and control cell activities

• Produce energy for the cell

• Transport nutrients across the cell membrane

• Synthesize proteins for cellular functions

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

• Synthesize proteins

• Store genetic information

• Transport nutrients

• Generate energy

What organelle breaks down (digests) worn out cell parts, mostly in animal cells?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Lysosomes

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

• Store nutrients and energy

• Produce proteins for the cell

• Digest waste materials and cellular debris

• Transport materials within the cell

What organelle packages proteins for delivery?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Golgi apparatus

• Endoplasmic reticulum

What am I? I am involved in the synthesis of proteins and can be rough or smooth.

• Golgi apparatus

• Ribosome

• Endoplasmic reticulum

• Lysosome

What structure surrounds the cell and controls what enters and leaves?

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

What is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles?

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

What organelle holds or stores water, mainly found in plant cells?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplasts

• Vacuoles

• Ribosomes

What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

• Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface; smooth ER does not.

• Smooth ER has ribosomes on its surface; rough ER does not.

• Both rough and smooth ER have ribosomes on their surfaces.

• Rough ER is involved in lipid synthesis, while smooth ER is involved in protein synthesis.
