I am often referred to as the 'Powerhouse' of the cell.

Mitochondria

100


Golgi Apparatus

100

Nucleus

The control centre of the cell, stores the organism's DNA.

Animalia

Eukaryote

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.

200

Archaea

Prokaryote

200

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

300


Mitochondria

300

Chloroplast

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

300

Fungi

Eukaryote

300

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.
400

Bacteria

Prokaryote

400

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

Prokaryote

500

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

Cell Wall

500


Cell Membrane


500

Ribosome

Is responsible for creating proteins from copied DNA code.

500

No Nucleus

Prokaryote


500

Why can cells from the same animal have different organelles?
