Cell Organelles

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; makes ribosomes
chromosomesgenetic material found in the nucleus
mitochondriawhere energy in the form of ATP is produced
ribosomeswhere proteins are made
rough endoplasmic reticulumProduction and modification of proteins ( contains ribosomes on the surface
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
plasmidsmall circular DNA in prokaryotes used as extra information
vacuolelarge in plants, small in animal cells; store water and nutrients
smooth endoplasmic reticulumproduction and modification of lipids
cytoplasmjelly like substance that fills the space inside the cell, filling all empty space and helps with shape and structure ; made of water amino acids and nutrients
