What is a ribosome?

100

I capture sunlight and use it to produce food through photosynthesis.

What is a chloroplast?

100

Chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and leucoplasts are found in this type of cell.

What is a plant cell?

What is an animal cell?
400

We are small, bristly hair-like structures that move.

What are cilia?

400

I package materials, especially proteins, into small sacs known as vesicles for use in and out of the cell.

What is a Golgi body?

500

I am a small cylindrical body made of protein microfibers and tubules.

What is a centriole?

500

I am used with the spindle apparatus during mitosis.

What is a centriole?

2 organelles that are found in both plant and animal cells and may also be found in certain micro-organisms.

What are cilia and flagella?

500

We are long, whip-like filaments that move.  We are in a 9+2 arrangement.

What are flagella?

500

I am in charge of movement of the cell or materials outside of the cell.
