Function
What is the control center, or brain of the cell?
The Nucleus
The Cellular Membrane.
Name the organelle that is only present in plant cells, and its function is to provide structure to the cell.
The cell wall.
What is a unicellular organism, and which type of cell, eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells, are exclusively unicellular organisms?
Unicellular organisms are organisms that are only made of one cell, and prokaryotic organisms are always unicellular.
What organelle is involved in the production of ribosomes in the nucleus?
The Nucleolus
Name the organelle that is responsible for making proteins.
The ribosome.
What is the organelle where cellular respiration occurs?
The mitochondria.
Fill in the blank: Plants, animals, fungi and protists are all comprised of __________ cells.
Eukaryotic
What organelle is studded with ribosomes and plays an active role in the synthesis and packing of proteins?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum.
Name the organelle that is responsible for giving the cell shape and also transporting things inside the cell.
The cytoskeleton.
Name the organelle that allows the cell to move around its environment, and whether or not its found in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
The flagellum, it is found only in animal cells
The nucleus controls what goes on in the cell. Is it found in eukaryotes, prokaryotes, or both?
Only in eukaryotes.
Which organelle takes vesicles of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and sends them where they need to go?
(Hint: It's like the mail system of the cell)
The Golgi Body.
Name the organelle that is responsible for storing water and other nutrients.
The Vaciole
What cells, plant, or animal have chloroplasts and what is the function of this organelle?
BOUNS

What organelle uses enzymes to break down waste and junk materials within the cell?
The Lysosome.
Name the organelle that only appears in animal cells and helps the cell with cell division.
The Centriole
What is the difference between the vesicles found in animal cells, and the central vesicle that is found in plant cells, and why are they different?
The vesicles in animal cells are smaller than the one large central vesicle that is found in plant cells. This is because plants have evolved to more effectively store water due to their reliance on rainfall.
Fill in the blank: Cell walls in eukaryotic cells are made of __________ and cell walls in prokaryotic cells are made of ___________.
Cellulose/Chitin and Peptidoglycen
