Organelle Jobs
What cell structure makes proteins?
Ribosome
Which structure is a strong, rigid layer outside the cell membrane in a plant cell?
Cell wall
What structure makes proteins needed for cell functions?
Ribosome
What organelle uses light energy to make food?
Chloroplast
What does the cell membrane control?
What enters and exits the cell.
What organelle breaks down materials inside the cell?
Lysosome
Which structure is flexible and controls what enters and exits the cell?
Cell membrane
What organelle packages proteins into vesicles?
Golgi apparatus
Besides storage, what does a plant cell's large vacuole help provide?
Structure/support
In the test model, what movement of oxygen is being shown?
Oxygen moving across the cell membrane.
What organelles are important for cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
What is one major function of the cell membrane?
It controls what enters and exits the cell.
What structures transport proteins in the cell?
Vesicles
What plant cell structure provides strong support and protection?
Cell wall
If particles are more concentrated in one area, which direction can they move across the membrane?
From an area of higher concentration toward an area of lower concentration.
What organelles use light energy to make food?
Chloroplasts
Which is stronger and more rigid: the cell wall or the cell membrane?
The cell wall
Put these in the correct order: vesicle, ribosome, Golgi apparatus.
Ribosome makes the protein → Golgi apparatus packages it → vesicle transports it.
A solar panel is used in a model of a plant cell. Which cell part could it represent?
Chloroplast, because it uses light energy.
Which object could represent a cell membrane: solar panel, zippered sandwich bag, or wire cage?
Zippered sandwich bag.
What organelles transport proteins in the cell?
Vesicles
Explain one difference between a cell wall and a cell membrane.
The cell wall is strong and rigid and provides support; the cell membrane is more flexible and controls movement into and out of the cell.
A cell needs a protein made, packaged, and transported. Name the three cell structures involved.
Ribosome, Golgi apparatus, and vesicle.
Name three objects from the model list that could represent three different plant cell parts.
Possible answers: solar panel → chloroplast; battery with wires → mitochondria; zippered sandwich bag → cell membrane; cloth bag → vacuole; wire cage → cell wall.
Why is a zippered sandwich bag a useful model for the cell membrane?
It can open and close and control what goes inside or outside, similar to how the cell membrane controls what enters and exits.
