vocabulary review
matching in the space provided, write the letter of the function that best matches each word.
____1. mitochondrion a. site where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled
____2. ribosome b. captures energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
____3. endoplasmic reticulum c. modifies, sorts, and packages proteins
____4. golgi apparatus d. site where proteins are assembled
____5. lysosome e. converts chemical energy in food into compounds the cell can use
____6. chloroplast f. acts as the cell’s cleanup crew
completion fill in the blanks with the vocabulary terms.

Explanation:

1. Mitochondrion: The function of mitochondria is to convert chemical energy in food (like glucose) into ATP, a compound the cell can use for energy. So it matches option e.
2. Ribosome: Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are assembled (by linking amino acids together). So it matches option d.
3. Endoplasmic reticulum (specifically smooth ER) is where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled. So it matches option a.
4. Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins (and lipids) received from the ER for transport within the cell or secretion outside. So it matches option c.
5. Lysosome contains enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, acting as the cell's cleanup crew. So it matches option f.
6. Chloroplast (in plant cells) captures energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (like glucose) through photosynthesis. So it matches option b.
