Cell Parts

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

Organelle
Function
Location (plants/animal/both)
Nucleus   Contains cell’s genetic material (DNA); LARGEST organelle; Controls everything in the cell   Both  
🗑
Nuclear Membrane   Double-layer around the nucleus; lets DNA in & out   Both  
🗑
Ribosomes   Makes proteins out of amino acids using instruction enclosed in the cell’s DNA. **do NOT have membranes SMALLEST organelle   Both  
🗑
Vacuole   Fluid-filled vesicle that stores water, wastes, nutrients and enzymes.   Both  
🗑
Central vacuole   Same as vacuole; when it is full of water it gives cell its shape; when empty it wilts   Plant  
🗑
Lysosome   Contain digestive enzymes, which break down worn-out organelles, waste materials and foreign invaders.   Animal  
🗑
Rough ER   Assists in the production, processing and transporting of proteins. Rough because of ribosomes on it.   Both  
🗑
Smooth ER   Makes lipids and breaks down toxic materials that could damage the cells. Smooth because there are no ribosomes.   Both  
🗑
Nucleolus   Found in the nucleus. Round, dense structure. Makes ribosomal subunits from protein and RNA.   Both  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Gel-like region enclosed by the cell membrane that includes fluids and all organelles   Both  
🗑
Cell wall   Rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane gives the cell shape & support   Plant  
🗑
Golgi Bodies (golgi complex)   Package and distribute materials such as proteins and lipids   Both  
🗑
Centrioles   2 organelles found near the nucleus that help the cell when it comes time to divide   Animal  
🗑
Centrosome   Organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center   Animal  
🗑
Cell membrane   Semi-permeable layer surrounding a cell; controls movement of materials in and out of cell.   Both  
🗑
Mitochondria   Cellular respiration occurs here. Food is broken down and energy is released.   Both  
🗑
Chloroplasts   Photosynthesis occurs here; uses sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green because it contains chlorophyll, which absorbs the sun’s energy   Plant  
🗑
Chromatin   Found in the nucleus; made up of DNA and proteins; involved in DNA replication   Both  
🗑


   

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.
