Match each cell part with the correct description of its function.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Vacuole | arrow_right_alt | Site of cellular respiration, releasing molecules of ATP to make energy immediately available for the cell |
Vesicle | arrow_right_alt | Site of photosynthesis, absorbing light and resulting in the production of carbohydrates to store energy |
Nucleus | arrow_right_alt | Organelle that stores water, food, and enzymes |
Mitochondria | arrow_right_alt | Small organelle that contains and transports materials within the cytoplasm |
Chloroplast | arrow_right_alt | Stores the cell's genetic material (DNA) |
Match each cell part with the correct description of its function.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | arrow_right_alt | Covered in ribosomes, and therefore involved in the production of proteins |
Ribosome | arrow_right_alt | Site of lipid and carbohydrate synthesis |
Lysosome | arrow_right_alt | Site of protein synthesis |
Golgi Body/Apparatus | arrow_right_alt | Organelle containing enzymes that help break down (hydrolyze) large organic molecules |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | arrow_right_alt | Stack of flat membrane enclosures that contain enzymes for processing, sorting, and delivering proteins |
Which numbered part of the plant cell shown above is a liquid-like substance that fills the cell?
Which type of cell is pictured above?
Match the organelle structure with their function
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Cell wall | arrow_right_alt | Contains digestive enzymes to break down harmful substances |
Cell membrane | arrow_right_alt | Organelle that hugs the nucleus and has ribosomes attached to it. |
Lysosome | arrow_right_alt | Serves as a semi-permeable boundary between the cell and its environment. |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | arrow_right_alt | Organelle in plants that uses light energy to make glucose in a process called photosynthesis. |
Chloroplast | arrow_right_alt | Firm, fairly rigid structure found outside of plants for support. |
Cells that use a great amount of energy usually contain numerous ________ because it's the organelle that helps generate more ATP (energy).
