Plant and Animal Cell Organelles

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
cell wall   a rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms  
🗑
cell membrane   a thin flexible barrier that surrounds a cell and controls which substances pass into and out of a cell  
🗑
nucleus   a large organelle that contains the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA & controls many of the cells activities  
🗑
organelle   a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell  
🗑
ribosome   a small grain shaped organelle in the cytoplasm of a cell that produces proteins  
🗑
cytoplasm   the thick fluid region of a cell located inside the cell membrane (in prokaryotes) or between the cell membrane and nucleus (in eukaryotes)  
🗑
mitochondria   rod shaped organelles that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   an organelle that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of a cell to another  
🗑
golgi apparatus   an organelle in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell  
🗑
vacuole   a sac-like organelle that stores water, food, and other materials  
🗑
chloroplast   an organelle in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and changes to an energy form that cells can use in making food  
🗑
lysosome   a cell organelle which contains chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones and that can be used by the rest of the cell  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
