Students can test their knowledge of the functions of various cell organelles in a eukaryotic cell.

AB
nucleusthe control centre of the cell
nucleolussmall circular structure(s) within the nucleus; may be involved in protein synthesis
mitochondriawhere energy in the form of ATP is produced
ribosomeswhere proteins are made
endoplasmic reticulumtransport system in the cell
golgi apparatuspackages up protein
lysosomespecial type of vacuole that breaks down large molecules and cell parts
chloroplastwhere photosynthesis occurs
cell membranesemi-permeable; it controls what moves in and out of the cell
cell wallprotects and supports plant cells
eukaryotecell that has a membrane-bound nucleus
prokaryotea cell with no nuclear membrane and few (if any) membrane bound organelles
vacuolestores wastes, water, food
ciliashort hair-like structures used for movement
flagellawhip-like structure used for movement
pseudopodia"false foot" used for movement
Features of Plant CellsCell wall, Chloroplasts, Large Vacuoles
Cell Theory1. Cells are the basic unit of life 2. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 3. Cells come from existing cells
