The mitochondria power the cell by providing it with energy.
The chloroplast turns sunlight into food (glucose).
The nucleus controls all cellular activity, because it holds your DNA.
The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell.
The cell wall supports and protects the cell membrane.
A ribosome builds proteins.
Pick the name of the organelle being described in the questions below.
Which cell organelle synthesizes (makes) proteins?
Which cell organelle makes the energy that powers the cell?
Which cell organelle controls how molecules, such as water, enter and leave the cell?
Which cell organelle supports and protects plant cells by covering the cell membrane?
Which cell organelle holds your chromosomes (DNA) and controls all cell functions?
Which cell organelle produces proteins?
Which cell organelle converts sunlight (energy) into glucose (food)?
Which cell organelle breaks down glucose (food) into ATP (energy).
Which cell organelle decides what happens in the cell, because it has the genetic information inside?
Which cell organelle is responsible for maintaining homeostasis?
Which cell organelle is the powerhouse of the cell?
Which cell organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?
Due to a recent infection, the cells in your body need to synthesize (make) more enzymes, which are made of proteins, to break down the bacteria that your immune system has been killing off.
Which cell organelle will make these new enzymes? (Hint: What are enzymes made of?)
