Question

comparing cell structures and organelles
for each statement, choose the best match from the list below:
a centrioles
b lysosomes
c cell membrane
d mitochondria
e cell wall
f vesicles
g nucleus
h chloroplasts
j ribosomes
k chromatin
l rough er
m smooth er
n cilia
o flagella
p nucleolus
q vacuoles
r golgi bodies
t cytoplasm
u prokaryotes
v eukaryotes
x cytoskeleton

1. d powerhouse of the cell: site of atp production (glucose converted to atp)
2. c semi - permeable phospholipid bilayer

3 b used for digestion of particles and bacteria; work in conjunction with vacuoles

1. g control center of eukaryotic cells, contains nucleolus and dna
2. m membranous structure that synthesizes lipids(fats)
3. q storage sacs; plant cells have a single large one; animal cells have small ones
4. e sites for photosynthesis; found only in plant cells; contain chlorophyll
5. n locomotive structures that are short and plentiful

9 k made mostly of cellulose in plant cells; encases or surrounds plant cells

1. a watery substance filling interior of cells; suspends structures/organelles

11 p membranous structure that makes & transports proteins; studded with ribosomes

1. v uncoiled dna; coils into chromosomes during cell division
2. f only found in animal cells; form spindle fibers during cell division
3. p location in eukaryotic cells where ribosomes are formed

22 locomotive structures that are long and usually are few in numbers
23 is like the skeleton for the cell and provides support

Explanation:

These are based on well - known cell biology facts. For example, mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell for ATP production, the cell membrane is a semi - permeable phospholipid bilayer, etc. Each organelle or cell structure has a distinct function that matches the given descriptions.
