This formative checks your understanding of the structure and function of organelles in eukaryotic cells (North Carolina Biology: Bio.1.1.1). Answer each question to show how different organelles contribute to cell processes and how plant and animal cells compare.
Which organelle stores the cell’s DNA and controls many cell activities?
What is the main function of ribosomes in eukaryotic cells?
A protein is being synthesized for secretion outside the cell. Where is it most likely made?
Which organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into vesicles?
Which organelle is the primary site of ATP production in most eukaryotic cells?
Which organelle captures light energy to produce sugars in plant cells?
Which organelle is most directly involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification?
In plant cells, what is a major function of the central vacuole?
Which structure is found in plant cells but not in animal cells and provides support and protection?
Which organelle helps organize microtubules and is important during cell division in animal cells?
Which of the following are parts of the endomembrane system? (Select 2.)
Which statements correctly describe the cytoskeleton? (Select 2.)
Which organelles contain their own DNA? (Select 2.)
Which of the following are functions of the nucleus? (Select 2.)
The nucleolus is the place where ribosomal components are assembled.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is covered with ribosomes.
Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells.
What is the name of the organelle that packages and ships proteins in vesicles?
What organelle contains digestive enzymes that break down cellular waste?
What is the name of the organelle where photosynthesis occurs?
Match each organelle to its primary function.
