Question

match the cell part with its function:
___ 1. mitochondria
___ 2. ribosomes
___ 3. golgi apparatus
___ 4. lysosomes
___ 5. nucleus
___ 6. nucleolus
___ 7. cilia
___ 8. microtubules
___ 9. rough endoplasmic reticulum
___ 10. smooth endoplasmic reticulum
a. transports proteins
b. packages proteins for export
c. moves the cell (or things past the cell)
d. helps maintain the cells shape
e. provides energy for the cell
f. contains enzymes to break down food
g. creates and stores lipids
h. contains the cells chromosomes (dna)
i. makes proteins
j. makes ribosomes

Explanation:

Each cell structure is matched to its core, defined biological function:

1. Mitochondria are the cell's energy producers, generating ATP.
2. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
3. The Golgi Apparatus modifies and packages proteins for secretion/export.
4. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down materials.
5. The Nucleus stores the cell's chromosomal DNA, holding genetic information.
6. The Nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomal subunits (making ribosomes).
7. Cilia are hair-like structures that move the cell or substances past it.
8. Microtubules are part of the cytoskeleton, supporting cell shape.
9. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (with ribosomes) transports synthesized proteins.
10. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum synthesizes and stores lipids and steroids.

Answer:

1. Mitochondria - E. provides energy for the cell
2. Ribosomes - I. makes proteins
3. Golgi Apparatus - B. packages proteins for export
4. Lysosomes - F. contains enzymes to break down food
5. Nucleus - H. contains the cell's chromosomes (DNA)
6. Nucleolus - J. makes ribosomes
7. Cilia - C. moves the cell (or things past the cell)
8. Microtubules - D. helps maintain the cell's shape
9. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - A. transports proteins
10. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - G. creates and stores lipids
