Which object would represent the mitochondrion (singular for mitochondria)?

This regulates what goes in and out of the cell.

Gel-like fluid inside the cell that suspends the organelles

This organelle helps organize cell division and creates microtubules.

Cellular respiration takes place here and produces energy called ATP.

Breakdown lipids, carbs, proteins, old organelles. Clean up crew. Also fight against bacteria, viruses, and other antigens

Store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbs. And also store wastes to prevent cell contamination. Plants have a large one.

Transport important things (like proteins) throughout the cell

Makes and stores lipids (fats). Also breaks down toxins.

Transports material throughout the cell. Looks rough because of the ribosomes.

Makes proteins (protein synthesis)

Main function is to produce and assemble ribosomes.

Usually found in the center. This is the “Control Center.” It coordinates activities like metabolism and growth. It also houses genetic information (DNA).

Modify, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell

Protein filaments that help maintain structure

Short hairlike appendages. Helps in locomotion, circulation and aeration.

Long thread like appendage that helps in locomotion

Traps sunlight and converts it into energy for plants.

It provides plant and some bacterial cells with protection and structural support.

What is the function of the organelle depicted in the photo?

True or False:

Chloroplasts are found in both plant and animal cells.

Which photo shows the mitochondrion of the cell?

This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells, but is usually much bigger in plant cells.

The purple organelle in photo depicts which organelle?

Identify the structure that is indicated by the arrow in the image.

Which of these organelles is not found in a animal cell?

This organelle is responsible for disposing of waste in the cell.

Which organelle serves as an internal transport system, and can be either "rough" or "smooth"?

Which organelle makes proteins?

All the organelles in a cell work together to help the cell and the whole organism function. Some diseases are caused by the failure of one type of organelle. Read the description below of an example of this type of disease. A mosaic is a picture made up of small colored pieces. Mosaic viruses cause plant leaves to look like mosaic art. A mixture of dark and light green patches appear on the leaves. The light green patches are not able to capture much energy from sunlight. Which organelle is affected by mosaic viruses?
