1.
This is a package created by the golgi body that contains lipids or proteins.
a)
cell
b)
vacuole
c)
cytoskeleton
d)
vesicle
2.
These are small projections on the surface of a bacterial cell that allow it to stick to surfaces.
a)
pilli
b)
flagella
c)
cilia
d)
hairs
3.
This is where DNA is stored and protected, which is why they call it the control center.
a)
mitochondria
b)
nucleus
c)
chloroplast
d)
lysosome
4.
These are small holes in the nuclear membrane that ribosomes and RNA and other materials can enter and leave from.
a)
cellular pores
b)
transport proteins
c)
nuclear pores
d)
cytoplasm
5.
This surrounds all cells. It controls what materials can come into and out of the cell.
a)
cell membrane
b)
nuclear membrane
c)
cell wall
d)
cell capsule
6.
This is a package of enzymes that breaks down lipids, carbohydrates and proteins for the cell. It also breaks down old organelles.
a)
vacuole
b)
vesicle
c)
lysosome
d)
mitochondria
7.
This structure makes, modifies, and sorts lipids and sends them to the golgi body to be packaged. 
a)
rough ER
b)
smooth ER
c)
golgi body
d)
ribosomes
8.
This is a large structure in a plant cell. There are many small ones in an animal cell, though. Its main function is to store water, nutrients, and waste. 
a)
vacuole
b)
vesicle
c)
lysosome
d)
ribosome
9.
This structure is located in the nucleus. It makes ribosomes for the cell.
a)
nuclear membrane
b)
nuclear pore
c)
nucleolus
10.
This structure makes, modifies, and sorts proteins and sends them to the golgi body to be packaged. 
a)
golgi body
b)
smooth ER
c)
rough ER
d)
ribosomes
11.
This is the jelly-like substance that the organelles float in. It is made mostly of water.
a)
vacuole
b)
cytoskeleton
c)
cytoplasm
d)
chloroplast
12.
This is the outermost layer of a bacterial cell that causes disease (illness). It is made of polysaccharides.
a)
cell wall
b)
cell membrane
c)
cell capsule
d)
flagella
13.
This structure helps pull chromosomes apart during cell division.
a)
chromatin
b)
centrioles
c)
cytoskeleton
d)
cell membrane
14.
This structure is responsible for building proteins. It follows the instructions from RNA and puts amino acids together.
a)
nucleus
b)
ribsosome
c)
golgi body
d)
smooth ER
15.
These are proteins in the cytoplasm that connect to the organelles to help move them. It also serves to give the cell structure and support. 
a)
cytoplasm
b)
ribsosomes
c)
cytoskeleton
d)
centrioles
16.
These are green structures in a plant cell that convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose sugar and oxygen in a process called photosynthesis. 
a)
mitochondria
b)
ribosomes
c)
chloroplasts
d)
golgi body
17.

a)
cell membrane
b)
nuclear membrane
c)
nuclear pores
d)
cell wall
18.
This structure packages lipids and proteins that it receives from the endoplasmic reticulum into vesicles. It may transport these vesicles within the cell or out of the cell. 
a)
mitochondria
b)
lysosome
c)
ribosome
d)
golgi body
19.
This is a whip-like tail on a cell that is used for movement, like swimming.
a)
pili
b)
cilia
c)
flagella
20.

nuclear membrane
c)
cell capsule
d)
cell wall
