Eukaryotic Cell Organelles - Quiz

?
Ribosome
Smallest of the cell organelles. Made from RNA and protein. Loose in the cytoplasm or bound to RER. Site of protein synthesis
1 of 10
Chloroplasts
Carry out photosynthesis and are self replicating. Fluid filled centre called stroma
2 of 10
Nuclues
The 'control centre' of the cell through protein synthesis. Controls functions of the other organelles. Contains the genetic material (DNA) in the form of chromosomes
3 of 10
Cell Wall
Only found in plant cells. Found on the outside of the cell membranes. Made mainly from cellulose. Supports the structure of the cell, with standing osmotic pressure from within cell, enabling cell to remain turgid
4 of 10
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
Synthesis, stores and transports lipids and carbohydrates
5 of 10
Golgi Apparatus
Many functions of Golgi, linked to modification and packaging of products of SER and RER: Adding carbohydrate to proteins to form glycoprotein, producing secretion enzymes, secrete carbs, transport modify and store lipids, form lysosomes
6 of 10
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
Flattened sacks with ribosomes, may link with Golgi body. Provides a large surface area for protein synthesis of proteins and glyco proteins. Transport system for the products of protein synthesis
7 of 10
Large Central Vacuole
Surrounded by single membrane called the tonoplast. Used for storage and supports plants by making the cells turgid. May contain pigment with colour (beetroot) to attract pollinators
8 of 10
Lysomes
Formed from Golgi vesicles. Hydrolyse material ingested by phagocytes, exocytosis to release enzymes outside the cell, digest worn-out organelles to recycle their contents, break down cells which have died.
9 of 10
Mitochondria
Converts glucose into ATP. Respires aerobically for the cell.
