Mitochondria

b)

Nucleus

c)

Cytoplasm

d)

Endoplasmic Reticulum

2.

This organelle is a flexible layer that covers the outside surface of a cell, separating inside from outside.

a)

Cell Membrane

b)

Cell Wall

c)

Vacuole

d)

Golgi Apparatus

3.

This organelle is a rigid structure that provides support and is found on the outside of only plant cells.

a)

Cell Membrane

b)

Golgi Apparatus

c)

Endoplasmic Reticulum

d)

Cell Wall

4.

This organelle breaks down nutrients and turns them into energy for the cell to use.

a)

Nucleus

b)

Lysosome

c)

Mitochondria

d)

Ribosomes

5.

This organelle converts light energy from the sun into sugars that the cell can use as “food.” Found only in plant cells.

a)

Chloroplast

b)

Cytoplasm

c)

Lysosome

d)

Vacuols

6.

This organelle is a fluid that fills the cell, gives it its shape and holds the organelles in place.

a)

Chloroplast

b)

Cytoplasm

c)

Vacuole

d)

Cell Membrane

7.

This organelle processes proteins, and transports them out of the cell.

a)

Endoplasmic Reticulum

b)

Nucleus

c)

Cell Wall

d)

Golgi Apparatus

8.

This organelle hooks together compounds called amino acids to build proteins.

a)

Ribosome

b)

Cell Membrane

9.

This organelle packages proteins, and transports them throughout the cell to the golgi apparatus.

a)

Golgi Apparatus

b)

Endoplasmic Reticulum

c)

Cytoplasm

d)

Nucleus

10.

This organelle digests food, waste, and foreign invaders, and works to remove unwanted materials from inside the cell.

a)

Vacuole

b)

Mitochondria

c)

Golgi Apparatus

d)
