Cell Organelle Functions Assessment

Which organelle helps break down old cell parts?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Lysosomes

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

Which organelle helps make proteins in the cell?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Golgi apparatus

• Lysosomes

Which organelle helps plants make their own food using sunlight?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplasts

• Ribosomes

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

What is the main job of ribosomes?

• Make proteins

• Break down carbohydrates

• Store genetic information

• Transport oxygen in the blood

What does the nucleus do in a cell?

• Produces energy for the cell

• Controls all cell activities

• Transports nutrients within the cell

• Synthesizes proteins for the cell

The cell membrane is also called the:

• Plasma membrane

• Cell wall

• Nuclear membrane

• Cytoplasmic membrane

What does the Golgi body do with the proteins it packages?

• Stores them for later use

• Sends them where needed

• Breaks them down into amino acids

• Transports them to the nucleus

Which organelle is known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell because it makes energy?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

The cytoplasm is important because it:

• Is where most chemical reactions happen

• Stores genetic information

• Provides structural support to the cell

• Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell

What is special about plant cells that animal cells don't have?

• Chloroplasts

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Ribosomes
