7.1-7.2--CELL ORGANELLES--PRACTICE

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

AB
nucleusthe control center of the cell
nucleolussmall circular structure(s) within the nucleus; may be involved in protein synthesis
chromosomesgenetic material found in the nucleus
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 containing enzymes 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
vesiclestransport sacs that move material through the cytoplasm
rough ertransports proteins made by the ribosomes
smooth erbreak down toxins, create lipids and
centriolesStructures that produce spindle fibers that move chromosomes
microtubulesHollow tubes found in the cytoskeleton that makeup cilia and flagella
microfilamentsTiny, solid tubes found in the cytoskeleton that move materials within the cell
chromatinChromosome form where they are thin and stringy.
cytoskeletonAll of the interconnecting fibers, tubules and filaments that allow the cell to change shape and move.
cytoplasmThe jelly-like substance that fills the cell storing disolved substances and wastes
