Cell Organells

Question 1

Plasma Membrane

Answer 1

Forms boundary of cell; controls movement of materials into/ out of cell; provides cell identification and communication.

Question 2

Nucleus

Answer 2

Inside the nucleus is the nuclealus, which is where ribosomes are assembled.

Question 3

Ribosomes

Answer 3

Use genetic instructions from the nucleus to produce proteins that will carry out various cell functions.

Question 4

Cytosol

Answer 4

It houses the organelles, and many of the enzymes are required.

Question 5

Mitochondria

Answer 5

Converts chemical energy (macromolecules) into cellular energy (ATP) in process of cellular respiration.

Question 6

Chloroplasts

Answer 6

Uses the sun’s energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars. Contains pigments of molecules that give green parts of plants their color.

Question 7

Lysosomes

Answer 7

Contains enzymes that breakdown macromolecules, organelles, or cells for ‘recycling.’

Question 8

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 8

Proteins synthesized on rough ER will be secreted from cell or become part of plasma membrane.

Question 9

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 9

Adds chemical groups to products of the ER for modification, identification, and transport.

Question 10

Cytoskeletal Elements

Answer 10

Hold and move organelles (transport vesicles), and are involved in cell movement.
