Why are Ova (female egg cells) some of the largest cells in the body?
Because they need to store additional nutrients so that it can survive until it is able to implant itself into the womb of the mother.
200
I am responsible for holding on to stores of materials.
Vacuole
200
Chloroplast
200
Lysosome
An organelle filled with acids and enzymes that help to recycle and break down waste materials in the cell.

Archaea
Prokaryote

Do Prokaryotes have any organelles?
Yes, just no membrane bound organelles.
300
I am like a library, and within my walls are the instructions to building anything I need.
Nucleus

Mitochondria
300
Chloroplast
Uses sunlight, water and CO2 to synthesise/create sugar and O2.

Fungi
Eukaryote

Why do Mitochondria have ~40% bacterial DNA?
Before they were absorbed and assimilated into Eukaryotic cells, they used to be individual organisms, likely of bacterial origin.
400
I am a filling to the cell that helps provide structure/shape to the cell and also aiding in the transport of materials within the cell.
Cytoplasm
400
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
400
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
An organelle that is responsible for helping manufacture, process and conform proteins so they can work correctly.

What cells were first to evolve? Prokaryote, or Eukaryote?
Prokaryote

I occur in some Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes, I am a strong ridged layer that helps to provide protection and structure to my cell.
