Sci7: Organelle Quizs

Lysosomes (more common in animal cells)

• Breaks down waste, food particles, and worn-out organelles.

• Produces energy for the cell.

• Synthesizes proteins for cell repair.

• Stores genetic information.

Cell Wall (plants only)

• Provides energy for photosynthesis.

• Regulates water intake in cells.

• Provides structure, support, and protection for plant cells.

• Facilitates nutrient absorption.

Animal cell

• Type of cell that has many small vacuoles, no chloroplast and no cell wall

• Type of cell that has large central vacuole, chloroplasts and a cell wall

• Type of cell that has no vacuoles, chloroplasts and a cell wall

• Type of cell that has many small vacuoles, chloroplasts and a cell wall

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

• Rough ER: Has ribosomes and helps produce and transport proteins.

• Smooth ER: Makes lipids and helps detoxify the cell.

• Mitochondria: Produces energy for the cell.

• Golgi apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins.

Chloroplasts (plants only)

• Performs photosynthesis to convert sunlight into glucose (energy for the plant).

• Stores water for the plant's survival.

• Absorbs nutrients from the soil.

• Transports oxygen throughout the plant.

Cell Membrane

• Regulates what enters and leaves the cell and provides protection and support.

• Produces energy for the cell.

• Stores genetic information.

• Synthesizes proteins for the cell.

Ribosomes

• Makes proteins for the cell. Nickname: "The protein factory."

• Breaks down waste materials in the cell.

• Stores genetic information for the cell.

• Transports nutrients across the cell membrane.

Centrioles (animal cells only)

• Helps in cell division by organizing chromosomes.

• Produces energy for the cell.

• Synthesizes proteins for the cell.

• Transports nutrients within the cell.

Nucleus

• Controls the cell’s activities and contains genetic material (DNA).

• Produces energy for the cell.

• Transports materials within the cell.

• Synthesizes proteins for the cell.

Plant Cell

• Type of cell that has one large central vacuole, chloroplasts and a cell wall

• Type of cell that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

• Type of cell that is typically smaller and has a flexible cell membrane

• Type of cell that has multiple small vacuoles and no chloroplasts
