More Organelles in Eukaryotic Cells
Guess the Organelle
100

surrounds the outside of all cells, made of two layers

(hint: controls what goes in/out of the cell)

cell membrane


100

The security of the school who controls what comes in/out of the school.

cell membrane

100

The ________ is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope, which has pores that allow substances to enter and exit.

nucleus 

100

moves the whole cell through extracellular fluid

(hint: usually few (1-3) 

flagella 

100

Which organelle makes rRNA which makes up ribosomes?

(hint: inside the nucleus)

Nucleolus

200

jelly like substance, made up of water

(hint: provides a solution for chemical reactions to take place)


cytoplasm

200

the generator that produces energy 

mitochondria

200

What can be found in all cells?

1. cytoplasm 2. cell membrane 3. ribosomes 4. genetic material 

200

move fluid across the cell's surface

(hint: shorter more numerous on the cell's surface)

cilia

200

What type of organelle has a folded membrane? 

(hint: conveyor belt of the cell)

Golgi Apparatus 

300

contains genetic material (DNA) 

(hint: protects the DNA of the cell)

nucleus 

300

What would be the delivery trucks that transport products (proteins)?

vesicles

300

What is the function of animal centrioles during cell division?

Animal centrioles help organize the structures that pull chromosomes apart during cell division

300

storage center for the cell--> water, nutrients, waste, etc..

(hint: small and numerous in animal cells, one large one in plant cells)

vacuoles 

300

Which organelle makes proteins and packages them for secretion to send in vesicles to the Golgi Apparatus?

(hint: hugs the nucleus, has ribosomes on the surface)

Rough ER (endoplasmic recticulum)

400

contain enzymes, break down dead material (food, bacteria, old parts of the cell), programmed cell death (apoptosis)


lysosomes 

400

Which organelles would be the workers assembling products(proteins)?

ribosomes

400

What is the process by which cells convert glucose into energy?

(hint: it is in the mitochondria) 

cellular respiration (produces energy in the form of ATP)

400

help cell divide by pulling chromosomes apart

(hint: made of microtubules)

animal centrioles 

400

Which organelle makes lipids and stores Ca+2?

(hint: no ribosomes on surface and attached to rough ER)

Smooth ER (endoplasmic recticulum)

500

make more proteins in translation, the ones on the Rough ER make proteins to export out of the cell, the ones floating on the cytoplasm make proteins to use within the cell

(hint: made of proteins and rRNA (located on Rough ER and floating in cytoplasm)

ribosomes

500

A school has a waste disposal facility 

lysosomes 

500

What is the function of ribosomes in the cell?

make proteins by reading the instructions in the cell's RNA

500

made of a phospholipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

cell membrane

500

Which organelle has an inner membrane and matrix (fluid part)?

(hint: this is where cellular respiration occurs)

Mitochondria
