vacuole

b)

nucleus

c)

mitochondria

d)

chloroplast

30.

When you water a plant, it tends to “perk up” or stand a little taller.  This is because plant cells have an organelle designed to store water and other things for later use.  What organelle would be plentiful in plants and used for this purpose?

a)

vacuole

b)

nucleus

c)

mitochondria

d)

chloroplast

31.

a)

cell membrane

b)

nucleus

c)

cell wall

d)

chloroplast

32.

White blood cells are especially active when you are sick because their primary job is to fight off infections – often bacteria or viruses that do not belong in you.  Once they locate the invader making you sick, they eat it and destroy it.  What organelle do you think is plentiful in white blood cells?
