Which type of cell has chloroplasts?
Plant cell
Which organelle packages and ships materials?
Golgi apparatus
What does the endoplasmic reticulum make?
Proteins and lipids
Which organelle is like the front office because it packages and ships materials?

Plant cell
Which organelle helps move materials throughout the cell?
Endoplasmic reticulum
Besides making proteins and lipids, what else does the ER do?
Transports materials/helps move things around the cell.
Which organelle is like the cafeteria cooks because it makes proteins?
Ribosomes
The endoplasmic reticulum helps move materials around the cell.
True
A scientist observes a cell with a cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm, but no cell wall or chloroplasts. Is it a plant cell or an animal cell?
Animal Cell
Which organelle breaks down waste, digests materials, and recycles old cell parts?
Lysosomes
Name three jobs of lysosomes.
Break down waste, digest food/materials, recycle materials.
Which organelle is like the janitor because it cleans up and recycles waste?
Lysosomes
Lysosomes help recycle materials inside the cell.
