Cell Organelles: Living Environment

What organelle stores water in both plant and animal cells?

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

What organelle is responsible for making proteins in the cell?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosome

• Golgi apparatus

• Endoplasmic reticulum

What organelle is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell'?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Nucleus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport?

• Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not.

• Active transport occurs only in plant cells, while passive transport occurs in animal cells.

• Passive transport requires energy, while active transport does not.

• Active transport and passive transport are the same processes.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• The cell membrane provides structural support to the cell.

• The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• The cell membrane is responsible for energy production in the cell.

• The cell membrane stores genetic information.

What is the process called when particles move from high to low concentration?

• Active Transport

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Passive Transport

• Osmosis

What is the function of lysosomes?

• Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

• Lysosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

• Lysosomes help in the production of ATP for energy.

• Lysosomes are involved in the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane.

What is a sac within the cytoplasm that is full of fluid and stores food, water, etc.?

• Vacuole

• Lysosome

• Ribosome

• Mitochondrion

What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

• Mitochondria produce energy through cellular respiration.

• Mitochondria store genetic information.

• Mitochondria are responsible for protein synthesis.

• Mitochondria regulate cell division.

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

• Chloroplasts conduct photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy.

• Chloroplasts store water and nutrients for the plant.

• Chloroplasts provide structural support to the plant cell.

• Chloroplasts are responsible for cellular respiration.
