This organelle is found in plant cells only and is the site of photosynthesis.
mitochondria
chloroplast
ribosome
vacuole
Found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, this organelle is the site of protein synthesis.
mitochondria
chloroplast
ribosome
lysosome
Usually a storage organelle, this is large and centrally located in plant cells.
peroxisome
lysosome
vacuole
ribosome
This double-membraned organelle is the site of cellular respiration (production of ATP).
chloroplast
mitochondria
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Making up the surface area of a cell, this organelle regulates material moving into and out of the cell.
cell membrane
cell wall
cytoskeleton
golgi apparatus
Used for structural support and protection, this layer of complex carbohydrates is found outside the cell membrane.
cytoskeleton
vacuole
chloroplast
cell wall
Semi-fluid matrix inside the cell (outside the nucleus) that contains organelles.
cytoskeleton
cytoplasm
nucleus
nucleolus
Contains centrioles...important in microtubule organization and cell division.
cytoplasm
extracellular matrix
cytoskeleton
centrosome
Specialized vesicle that contains powerful digestive enzymes. Used to digest and recycle large molecules.
nucleus
nucleolus
lysosome
golgi apparatus
Specialized vesicle that contains enzymes that are used to catalyze reactions that produce hydrogen peroxide.
peroxisome
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
chromoplast
A system of membrane channels (studded with ribosomes) that produces, modifies, and processes proteins. Forms transport vesicles.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
vacuole
golgi apparatus
Structure in the nucleus that produces ribosomes.
nucleus
nucleolus
cell membrane
golgi apparatus
A system of flattened sacs that process and prepare molecules for transport. Absorbs and secretes transport vesicles.
rough endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
nucleolus
ribosome
Command center of the cell, contains DNA and nucleolus. Surrounded by the nuclear membrane (nuclear envelope).
nucleus
nucleolus
mitochondria
chloroplast
Protein fibers that maintain the shape of the cell and assist in movement of cell parts.
cytoplasm
cystoplast
cytoplast
cytoskeleton
A system of membrane channels (no ribosomes) that produces lipids and is also involved in storage and detoxification. Forms transport vesicles.
rough endoplasmic reticulum
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
vacuole
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a typical prokaryotic cell?
no nucleus
no membrane bound organelles
structurally simple
larger than eukaryotic cells
Which of the following is NOT part of the cell theory?
All cells come from pre-existing cells
All living things are composed of cells
All cells have a cell wall
The cell is the basic unit of structure and function for living organisms
Which of the following is NOT a reason why cells are so small.
large cells would have a poor surface area to volume ratio
large cells have greater distances for molecules to travel (which would take them longer to get where they are going)
all material that enters or exits the must cross the cell membrane, therefore, an adequate amount of cell membrane (surface area) must exist to supply the cell (volume)
smaller cells need more raw materials than larger cells to survive
Which of the following are found in plant cells AND animal cells?
cell wall
mitochondria
large central vacuole
chloroplast
