Cell Organelles Structure and Functions

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

Question
Answer
The structural and functional unit of all living organisms, and is sometimes called the "building block of life."   show
🗑
show Organelles  
🗑
Gatekeeper of the cell, regulates the flow of materials in and out of the cell   show
🗑
Found in plants, fungi and bacteria that serves as extra support and protection   show
🗑
show Cytoplasm  
🗑
Controls the normal activities of the cell and contains the DNA in chromosomes.   show
🗑
Protein factories for cells   show
🗑
show Nucleolus  
🗑
show Chromosomes  
🗑
show Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum  
🗑
A network of flattened membrane sacs that helps complete the proteins after ribosome builds them and moves material around in cell.   show
🗑
Modify, sort, & package molecules from ER for storage or transport out of cell.   show
🗑
Stores and move materials between cell organelles, as well as to and from the cell surface.   show
🗑
show Vacoules  
🗑
show Lysosomes  
🗑
Contains oxidase enzymes for the breakdown of fatty acid molecules   show
🗑
“Powerhouse” of the cell that generates cellular energy (ATP)   show
🗑
show Chloroplasts  
🗑
Flexible network of long threads of fibers that can crisscross the entire cell providing sturdy mechanical support   show
🗑
A type of cytoskeleton that is stiff hollow thick tubes that will form spindle fibers to pull the chromosomes apart during the cell division.   show
🗑
show Intermediate filaments  
🗑
show Microfilaments  
🗑
An area in the cell where microtubules are produced (MTOC) that help coordinate cell division.   show
🗑
show Centriole  
🗑
Found in the small intestine that aids in absorbing the nutrients.   show
🗑
show Cilia  
🗑
show Flagella  
🗑
A layer mix of proteins and polysaccharides (glycoproteins) secreted by the cells that provides structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells.   show
🗑
Important in sharing of water, nutrients and chemical messages among plant cells.   show
🗑
Cells are joined together to form leakproof sheet example in bladder to prevent urine from leaking out.   show
🗑
Act like screws together with cytoskeletal fibers to form strong sheets.   show
🗑
Gap junctions play a similar role to that of plasmodesmata, as both allow small molecules to flow between neighboring cells.   show
🗑


   

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.
